March 2015
After months of dormancy, it was time for EXO to finally return. It would be their first comeback without Luhan. With Eric's rise in popularity, he was given more lines as a main vocalist. To promote this new comeback the boys would travel to selected places in the world. Eric Chou was a bonus location which was his hometown of Taipei. He smiled visiting his old home and got to catch up with family.
The boys were now in a parking garage getting to record their final shot. The video opens with Kai driving fancy sports car bought by Lee Sooman himself. Kai looked incredibly handsome dressed in all white, then Baekhyun introduces the next verse, with Xiumin, Suho, and Sehun in the back. Chen then hops on a couch with Chanyeol and Eric. Eric then does a little thrust with his hips followed by the two Chinese line of Lay and Tao.
The dance choreography was perhaps Eric's favorite part. This time everyone present played an important part. Even Xiumin and Sehun who gets less lines were able to perform. Due to Eric becoming a fan favorite it was decided he would get more lines. Originally it was supposed to be titled "Call Me Daddy" but Sooman felt it was too suggestive, so he changed it to baby. Their concept was a radical change from their futuristic R&B concept to a completely retro concept owing to the rise of classical funk from Western pop.
