Song information

While the single version (which can also be found on the UK and Japanese pressings of the JoJo album) features Bow Wow, the song's original version, called "album version", does not feature him. In 2005, actress Alyson Stoner recorded a cover of "Baby It's You". It samples Sean Paul and Busta Rhymes' "Make It Clap"
