Interesting facts and trivia about Don't Call Me Baby. By Songfacts®.

Cheyne Coates was working as a choreographer and singer in Melbourne, when in 1998 she met producer and writer Andy Van Dorsselaer in a Melbourne nightclub. The pair became friends and made plans to record an album featuring an assemblage of vocalists singing songs written by Cheyne, who provided the guide vocal for "Don't Call Me Baby." Andy preferred it to the singers they had hired, so they left it as it was. The song became their breakthrough Australian hit.

This samples Pino D'Angio's version of "Ma Quale Idea," an obscure Italian song from 1980.

Despite only reaching #2 in Australia, this sold 200,000 singles in the band's home country, the best singles sales achieved by any Australian act in 1999. The single was released internationally in 2000 and it became a big hit throughout Europe and topped the American Dance charts. The song originally reached #30 in the UK. Six months later it was re-issued after a 5 week promotional tour by Madison Avenue, and it topped the chart.
