Madison Beer is back with her first new song of the year, “Yes Baby.” 

The dance-pop track finds Beer cooing over thrumming synths and propulsive percussion: “It’s a look, it’s a touch/It’s a danger kind of crush/Say it once, say it twice/Come and say it another time,” she sings, before launching into the repetitive delirium of the chorus, “Yes, baby, yes, yes, baby, yes, yes, baby.”

“Yes Baby” also arrives with a music video, co-directed by Beer and Aerin Moreno, that harkens back to Eighties-style exercise videos. In a statement, Beer described “Yes Baby” as “really just a fun and flirty song,” but credited the music video with imbuing it with “a whole new energy.” She added that it “just feels like a song you want to blast with your friends.” 

It’s been over a year since Beer last released a new song, with her single “15 Minutes” dropping in July 2024. Several months prior to that, in February, she released “Make You Mine,” which would go on to earn a Grammy nomination for Best Dance Pop Recording earlier this year. (The song ultimately lost out to Charli XCX’s “Von Dutch.”)

A press release for “Yes Baby” said more music from Beer would be arriving “sooner than you think,” suggesting the single may mark the start of a new album cycle. Beer’s most recent LP, Silence Between Songs, was released in 2023, and she spent much of last year on her “Spinnin Tour” in support of the album.

Last December, Beer spoke with Rolling Stone after her Grammy nomination and revealed that “Make You Mine” was one of several upbeat songs she wrote before embarking on her tour. Those tracks, she added, would serve as the backbone of a new album that might be somewhat more dance-music focused, but not entirely.

“I think that my music taste and the things that I like are all over the place,” she said. “So I want to showcase all the different influences and things that I listen to. Because if you drove with me for an hour in the car, I couldn’t even tell you the amount of different genres and vibes you would hear. And I just have always been someone that doesn’t want to box myself into one thing. I don’t want to be someone that people can even expect what the next thing is. I really enjoy just putting out whatever I’m fucking with, honestly.”
