Attention music lovers! Irish superstar Erica Cody unveiled a stunning remix of her current fan-favourite top-charting single “Cry Baby” on March 24, and we’re beyond mesmerised by its glow-up!
Here at CelebMix HQ, nothing makes us happier than a brand-new smashing bop to jam with a dose of self-love and empowerment, and that’s exactly what Erica Cody’s most recent musical rendition is. The newly imagined version, “Cry Baby” (Sped-Up), arrived on the heels of the outstanding success of the original number. It emphasises hard-hitting, eclectic styling with uplifting melodies in true Erica-Cody fashion, soaked with savoury pop and R&B elements.
Taking to Instagram to announce the news, Erica wrote:
“I love how much you all love cry baby, that I thought it would only be right to release cry baby 2.0 this Friday, March 24th to all streaming platforms! If I don’t see a million TikTok dances & Instagram reels, the earth might just have to swallow me whole,” she joked.
The singer then expressed her love for her fans and thanked them for being the ‘best besties’ in the world. Delighted with the news, followers of Erica flocked to the comment section to show their support with one writing: “Ahhhh! I’ve been waiting for this.”
Talking about the track, Erica Cody said,
“This one’s dedicated to the time wasters that like to make you feel like you’re the problem, and then cry about it. When, in fact, you just know your worth, and stood up for yourself. Never be afraid to find your voice and cut toxicity out of your life without any guilt.”
Erica Cody on “Cry Baby” (Sped Up)
After spending past years weaving through the intrusive caveats that she had to face in her career, Erica now takes regains control of her narrative and uses her strong musical abilities to spread happiness, positivity and encouragement.
In her latest anthemic single, Erica Cody channels her own experiences and lessons through emotive songwriting to deliver a powerful message about presumptions and infatuation. She urges us to guard what is important to us, to ignore what others may think of us or our lives, and to go on with life while prioritising our own self-worth and self-love.
