From the album Baby
This is a baby-making anthem where every romantic gesture is undercut by consumer language. Dijon keeps saying 'let's make a baby' like he's saying 'let's get takeout,' framing procreation as expansion, addition, collection management. The song thinks it's horny and spontaneous but it's actually describing children the way someone catalogs vinyl.
Already got one, let's keep going / However you want it / I'm yours (It's yours)
The first child gets mentioned once and never again. 'Already got one' treats the existing kid like proof of concept, not a person. The possessive language that follows ('I'm yours / It's yours') applies to bodies and positions, not the human being they apparently created together.
baby we got all we need to expand the collection / And baby you look good 2 me you command my attention
The rhyme scheme gives it away: 'collection / attention.' Those words sit in the same sonic family because to Dijon they mean the same thing. Babies are items that prove he's paying attention, like buying flowers except permanent. The wordplay is doing exactly what he doesn't realize he's doing.
I mean we talk, and talk, and taaaallk and taaaaalk / It ain't no fun / I guess if we can dial in 2 like 2+1
He just admitted talking to his partner is no fun, then immediately suggests solving that by adding a second child. The math formula (2+1) makes it explicit: this is problem-solving through addition. Another body in the house means less of whatever conversation he's avoiding.
My lil mother invention / I MIGHT / Make the human connection
'Mother invention' flips her into a productivity tool. Then 'I might make the human connection' lands like uncertainty about whether sex leads to bonding or just pregnancy. He doesn't know which connection he's making, which might be the most honest moment in the song.
(SUGA FREE PROPHECY ON THE LUNCH TABLE…)
The Suga Free shoutout comes from nowhere and goes nowhere. I'm not sure what it references , but it reads like Dijon knows he just spent three minutes treating reproduction like inventory management and needed to ground the song in something outside his own decision-making. The lunch table might be where this conversation should have actually happened instead of the bedroom.
Dijon keeps saying 'let's make a baby' with the same energy as 'let's get brunch.' The song is sweaty and earnest and genuinely wants to create life, but it can't stop describing that life using the language of Amazon wish lists. By the end, you're not sure if he wants another kid or just wants to feel like he's building something when talking to his partner has stopped working.
"Another Baby!" by Dijon frames procreation through consumer language, with Dijon treating the idea of making a baby like a casual transaction or collection expansion rather than a profound life choice. In Scalpel's line-by-line reading, the song undercuts its romantic gestures by deploying the vocabulary of acquisition and addition, making what sounds like a spontaneous anthem actually read as a catalog of children treated like collectible items.
"Another Baby!" by Dijon explores children as proof you're trying, dirty talk that accidentally reveals the spreadsheet, he thinks communication sucks so he's adding more people, and youth as justification for permanent choices. The central thread is children as proof you're trying: Every mention of babies sits next to proof-of-effort language: 'expand the collection,' 'make an addition,' 'dial in 2 like 2+1.' These themes come from Scalpel's line-by-line analysis of the lyrics.
"Another Baby!" by Dijon was released on August 15, 2025 on the album "Baby". Scalpel's analysis covers the full lyrics of the 2025 release.
Scalpel's line-by-line analysis of "Another Baby!" by Dijon lands here: Dijon keeps saying 'let's make a baby' with the same energy as 'let's get brunch.'
