"i met the princess from thailand again,

she had grown up,

into a queen. [...]

you've grown up,

oh, baby queen."

"Baby Queen" is the crown princess of Thailand, who came to a Blur concert in 1997. Because of the specific role the royal family play in Thailand, she sat on a throne next to the mixing board, surrounded by soldiers. Damon Albarn wrote the song after dreaming about her 25 years later.

"She'd grown up and we spent time in my dream together, her as a woman," he told The LA Times in January 2022. Albarn may be singing of Princess Bajrakitiyabha, the only child of the then-Crown Prince Vajiralongkorn and his first wife, Princess Soamsawali.

"Baby Queen" is a rare Gorillaz track where Albarn is the sole singer and there aren't any guest vocalists. The previous Gorillaz single with no musicians outside the band was their 2018 offering "Tranz."

Murdoc, the bass player in the virtual version of Gorillaz, had this to say about "Baby Queen" in a Cracker Island listening party: "A fever dream of a track, literally. It was inspired by one of 2-D's strange little night visions. He's taken a lot of knocks to the head over the years, but that scrambled noggin does dream up some terrific tunes. There a real eloquence and slightly distant spaciousness to the track. A melodic and dreamlike presence. Or, to put it another way, it's bloody good!"
