Natasha's single "Unwritten" was featured in the movie "The Sisterhood Of The Travelling Pants" and many different television adverts. It also served as theme song for the hit MTV reality series "The Hills."
Natasha has just released her second album, N.B. and the lead single is the hit, I Wanna Have Your Babies.
Her latest offering ‘Say It Again', the third single to be taken from her critically acclaimed chart topping second album 'N.B', is no exception to this rule. Natasha Bedingfield co-wrote ‘Say It Again’ with Adam Levine (Maroon 5), and co-produced it with Mike Ellizondo (Dr Dre, Alanis Morisette). An uplifting song about falling for that elusive one, 'Say It Again' is reflective yet upbeat, and romantic without being saccharine sweet.
Natasha regularly contributes to YouTube as "uknatashabedingfield".
Another song that has gotten international acclaim is pocketful of sunshine. DSTV has used it for promoting their station.
I Wanna Have Your Babies
Natasha Bedingfield Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
But what if it don't?
What happens in my head stays in my head,
But sometimes it won't.
What if you knew what I was thinking?
Would it make you like "Whoa!"?
I don't wanna risk putting my foot in this
So I keep my mouth closed.
(Chorus)
All you hear is "Uh uh uh uh uh uh"
Gonna button my lips so the truth don't slip
Uh uh uh uh uh uh
Gotta beep out what I really wanna shout
Whoops! Did I say it out loud?
Did you find out? (oow yeah)
I wanna have your babies
You're serious like crazy
I wanna have your babies
I see 'em springing up like daisies.
Yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah
Some of my feelings keep escaping
So I make it a joke
Nonchalant I keep on faking
So my heart don't get broke
I'm in a big, big, big, big ocean
In a tiny little boat
I'll only put the idea out there
If I know it's gonna float.
(Chorus)
(Bridge)
'Cause in my head there's a slot machine
And I'm betting you're the one in my hopes and dreams
La la la la la, la la la la la la la
La la la la la, la la, la la...
Trust me it'd scare you
If you knew what was going on in my brain
Trust me it'd scare you
That I picked out the church, or the schools or the names
If you knew it was all about you
Every wish, every candle, every coin in the fountain
Trust me it'd scare you
That's why I go, Uh uh uh uh uh, uh uh
Uhm... yeah
(Chorus x2)
This one, this another, this one, oow...
Babies, babies, babies, babies...
I wanna have your babies
I...
Yeah yeah ha ha and maybe you'll find out...
Natasha Bedingfield's song "I Wanna Have Your Babies" talks about the fears and anxieties that arise when you develop feelings for someone. The opening lines make reference to the infamous saying, "What Happens in Vegas Stays in Vegas" suggesting that the singer is keeping her feelings for the person to herself, and not acting on them. She's afraid of putting it out there and getting rejected, and risking losing what she already has. Similarly, she uses metaphors throughout the song to convey this sense of risk-avoidance: "buttoning my lips so the truth won't slip," "in a big ocean in a tiny little boat," "making it a joke so my heart won't get broke."
The song is also about the internal struggle between the desire to express her feelings and the fear of their potentially negative consequences. The singer seems to be wrestling with her own thoughts and feelings, creating a sense of inner tension throughout the song. The bridge, in particular, emphasizes this, as the slot machine metaphor implies that her thoughts and emotions are beyond her control, like a game of chance.
Finally, the song also deals with the idea of commitment and planning for the future, as seen in the lines "I picked out the church or the schools or the names." The singer is not just thinking about the present but is also envisioning a future with this person. The song ends on a cliffhanger, with the singer whispering "maybe you'll find out." It's not clear whether she will reveal her feelings, but the song leaves the listener with the impression that she's still struggling to find the courage to express herself.
