Baby Said, a powerful Portsmouth-based sister duo composed of Veronica (20) and Jess (18) Pal, is building suspense and anticipation for their debut album, BS (expected March 2025) with the release of “123”—the third single from BS. This emerging duo is beginning to make their unique mark on the rock scene, which started with the release of their debut singles, “FIGHT” and “YOU KILLED IT” in 2023. Baby Said’s projects embody everything that rock is—whether it’s electric, lively guitar riffs paired with an addictive drum beat or show-stopping, powerful vocals that passionately tell a story through bold lyrics.
The high-energy song “123”—despite its simple title—dives into the complexities of being captured by a possessive person who dictates your interactions with others, embodying the well-known phrase of “if I can’t have you, no one else can.” However, this song isn’t about submitting to such behavior; it’s about taking a strong stance against it with the realization that no one deserves to be treated this way.
Confrontation doesn’t hold the duo back from demanding that this possessive person leave on the count of three: “You can stand in front of me / But you don’t know just how I’m feeling / And now I’m giving you the count of three / Move away, it’s your last warning / One, two three.” This chorus shows how Baby Said isn’t afraid to confront the truth and “ugliness” of tough situations, making them a well-respected and fearless duo.
