"Trouble with My Baby" is a song by English recording artist Paloma Faith. It was released on 11 August 2014 as the third single to promote her third studio album, A Perfect Contradiction (2014).

Background and composition

The song, composed by Faith along with experienced songwriters Andrea Martin and Steve Robson, has been described as featuring Faith's standard mix of pop music and jazz along with Motown influences.[1] One review of the album described the song as: "Got enough of being a hero, one day I'm gonna give a zero... And you'll have no place to hide... In this heart of mine, baby, baby"... Paloma is on fire and we'll know it. 'Trouble with My Baby' is the most defining track and captures the whole essence of the album extremely well. It's a definite stand out track, which should at least be given the single treatment at some stage.[2] The song's instrumentation features trumpet, guitar, bass guitar, saxophones, backing vocals and piano.[3]

Music video

Following teasers on Faith's Facebook, the official video for the song was released at midnight on 30 June 2014, garnering 17,000 views in 16 hours.[4] As with the two previous videos from the album, the video was directed by Paul Gore of video directing company Somesuch & Co. It features a new recording of the song, with new vocals recorded over a slightly different instrumental, and visually, footage of Faith singing in a nightclub to a man is intercut with images of Faith's relationship with that man quickly going downhill, eventually ending in Faith killing the man.
