The narrator then laments the passing of his mother, stating "I softly kissed that lady / And cried just like a baby." Later on, the narrator tells of receiving a telephone call to come to the family's home state of Louisiana, where his mother is dying (it is unclear whether she was in a local hospital or if she was at the family house under hospice care) however, he arrives shortly after she is pronounced dead. He describes being the youngest child in his family, and tells of various situations where he is referred to as "the baby" of the family. The song describes how a mother thinks of her children, especially the narrator. The song became Shelton's second number one hit on the US Billboard Hot Country Singles and Tracks chart in early 2003, and held that position for three weeks. It was released in October 2002 as the first single from Shelton's album The Dreamer. "The Baby" is a song written by Michael White and Harley Allen and recorded by American country music singer Blake Shelton.
