Moby found commercial and critical success with his fifth album Play (1999), which, after receiving little recognition, became an unexpected global hit in 2000 after each track was licensed to films, television shows, and commercials. It remains his highest selling album with 12 million copies sold. Its seventh single, "South Side", featuring Gwen Stefani, remains his only one to appear on the US Billboard Hot 100, reaching No. 14. Moby followed Play with albums of varied styles including electronic, dance, rock, and downtempo music, starting with 18 (2002), Hotel (2005), and Last Night (2008). His later albums saw him explore ambient music, including the almost four-hour release Long Ambients 1: Calm. Sleep. (2016). Moby continues to record and release albums; his twenty-first studio album, Resound NYC, was released in May 2023.
In addition to his music career, Moby is known for his veganism and support for animal rights and humanitarian aid. He was the owner of TeaNY, a vegan cafe in Manhattan, and Little Pine, a vegan restaurant in Los Angeles, and organized the vegan music and food festival Circle V. He is the author of four books, including a collection of his photography and two memoirs: Porcelain: A Memoir (2016) and Then It Fell Apart (2019).

Come On Baby
Moby Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Could've broken with no-one else
I was so a fear, but I know that life was everything
Love was a one-time thing
But I only brought my hand to my knife when I sing
Love, make it dog-style
Love myself with a broken-hearted love
What I never saw what do I care?
You don't want a sick celebration love
Think about a broken time was soulless
And oh and I was fear and I was on my knees
You gonna tell me, would you break my love you're stealing my love
Come on baby
Come on baby
Come on baby
Love come on baby
Come on baby
Let me feel my gift to god grow
And I love one time when your life goes suck
And you did it with an open heart now
I feel it, I am awake 'till my only time
Want to go down so you can wake up tired
I was holding my
And I was looking for something else, but I want love
Come on baby
Love come on baby
Oh come on baby
Come on baby
Oh fuck it
I see it forever
When you waking, I'm going to break your love
Come on
Love come on baby
Come on baby
Love come on baby
Come on baby
Come on baby
Come on baby
Come on baby
You'll know it feels good
Come on baby

Line by Line Meaning
Can you make my love console myself
Will your love be enough to comfort me
Could've broken with no-one else
I could have done it alone
I was so a fear, but I know that life was everything
I was scared, but I realized life meant everything
Love was a one-time thing
Love only happened once
But I only brought my hand to my knife when I sing
I only think violent thoughts when I sing
Love, make it dog-style
Love passionately and wildly
Come on baby
Encouragement to take action
Love myself with a broken-hearted love
I love myself despite being heartbroken
What I never saw what do I care?
I don't care about what I've never seen
You don't want a sick celebration love
You don't want a love that's unhealthy
Think about a broken time was soulless
Remember a time when things were empty and meaningless
And oh and I was fear and I was on my knees
I was afraid and brought to my knees
You gonna tell me, would you break my love you're stealing my love
Are you going to hurt my love or take it away?
Let me feel my gift to god grow
Let my faith grow
And I love one time when your life goes suck
I remember when your life was terrible
And you did it with an open heart now
But you did it with an open heart then
I feel it, I am awake 'till my only time
I feel alive until my time is up
Want to go down so you can wake up tired
Willing to go through difficult times to feel alive
I was holding my
The singer was interrupted mid-thought
And I was looking for something else, but I want love
I was searching for something else, but I still want love
Oh fuck it
Expression of frustration
I see it forever
I see it lasting forever
When you waking, I'm going to break your love
I will end your love when you realize it
Come on baby
Encouragement to take action
You'll know it feels good
You'll know it is worth it
