Leer másBackground and composition
Written by Mick Jagger and Keith Richards, the song also carries writing credits for k.d. lang and Ben Mink.[1] The song is known for its chorus, which sounds strikingly similar to lang`s 1992 hit song "Constant Craving". Jagger and Richards claimed to have never heard the song before, only having discovered the similarity prior to the Stones` release. As Richards reported in his autobiography Life, "My daughter Angela and a friend were at Redlands and I was playing the record and they start singing this totally different song over it. They were listening to k.d. lang`s `Constant Craving.` It was Angela and her friend that recognized it."[2] The two gave Lang credit, along with her co-writer Mink. Lang said she was "completely honored and flattered" by receiving the songwriting credit.[3][4]
Coincidentally, "Anybody Seen My Baby?" is reported to have been the title of a song written and recorded by Brian Jones after leaving the Rolling Stones.[5] "Anybody Seen My Baby?" would go on to be the only track from Bridges to Babylon to appear on the Stones` 2002 career retrospective Forty Licks.
"Anybody Seen My Baby?" features wide-ranging inspirations, including sampling of hip-hop artist Biz Markie, making it the only song by the Rolling Stones to include sampling. Bass and keyboards on the song are performed by Jamie Muhoberac. Waddy Wachtel plays acoustic guitar and Jagger, Richards, and Wachtel play electric guitars. The song has a distinctive R&B feel, driven by Muhoberac`s bass.
Release
The song was a worldwide hit in 1997, reaching the top 20 in several European countries, number one on Canada`s Top Singles and Alternative 30 charts, and number three on Billboard`s Mainstream Rock Tracks chart in the United States.
Critical reception
British magazine Music Week rated the song four out of five, stating that "this is top-form Stones co-written, co-produced and part-played by non-Stones."[6]
Music video
The accompanying music video for "Anybody Seen My Baby?" features American actress Angelina Jolie.[7] She appears as a stripper who leaves mid-performance to wander New York City. Two versions of the video exist, with minor differences between them.
