Toronto-based rising star Nicole Huff makes a bold entrance into the pop landscape with her debut single “Entice Me Baby,” released on August 15th, 2025. As the lead single from her upcoming EP, the track not only sets the tone for what’s to come but also firmly establishes Huff as a name to watch in the dance-pop and R&B space.
Written in less than an hour, “Entice Me Baby” is a testament to Nicole Huff’s raw creativity and instinct as a songwriter. Co-written with Jonah Cappa and produced by acclaimed hitmaker Roy Hamilton III, the track thrives on spontaneity and energy. Its foundation is unapologetically fun and sexy, designed to lift moods, inspire confidence, and get people moving on the dance floor.
The title itself—catchy and commanding—reflects the single’s playful yet empowering nature. Nicole wanted to create something she herself would have loved growing up, and the result is a song that feels authentic to her personality and musical identity.
At its core, “Entice Me Baby” draws heavily from the golden era of 2000s pop. Huff wears her influences proudly, channeling the vocal flair of Mariah Carey and Ariana Grande, the dance-pop energy of Britney Spears and Jennifer Lopez, and the fearless edge of Demi Lovato.
These inspirations come together in a modernized soundscape that highlights Huff’s vocal ability—complete with harmonies, adlibs, and subtle vocal acrobatics. The strong bridge, one of the song’s standout elements, gives the track a climactic push that recalls the iconic songwriting structures of the early 2000s.
Recorded in Toronto, the session itself was as fresh and inspired as the song. Before stepping into the booth, Huff was listening to Demi Lovato’s “Got Dynamite” in the car, which set the tone for the recording. She approached the vocals with precision: laying down leads first, then stacking adlibs and harmonies to give the song depth and vibrancy.
In her words, she wanted her own version of “…Baby One More Time”—a track just as impactful but uniquely her own. That ambition is evident in the final product: “Entice Me Baby” feels familiar in its pop sensibility yet distinct in its delivery.
What makes this debut significant is how effortlessly it reflects Nicole Huff’s artistry. While it’s undeniably fun and infectious, the track also highlights her control as both a songwriter and performer. Unlike many debut singles that lean heavily on production, “Entice Me Baby” is carried by Huff’s voice, presence, and perspective.
It’s also deeply personal—she admits it’s very much her style of music and the kind of track she would naturally gravitate toward as a listener. That honesty makes it more than just a dance-pop song; it’s an introduction to who she is as an artist.
Nicole Huff has already begun making waves with live performances, including her set at Taste of Manila. With “Entice Me Baby,” she cements herself as an artist with both star power and staying power. Her ability to craft a single that is simultaneously nostalgic, fresh, and empowering demonstrates the kind of versatility that could propel her to the forefront of modern pop.
“Entice Me Baby” is more than just Nicole Huff’s debut—it’s a mission statement. Packed with energy, charisma, and undeniable vocal talent, the single bridges the best of 2000s pop with today’s dance sensibilities. Confident yet playful, it leaves listeners with exactly what the title suggests: the desire for more.
Nicole Huff has arrived, and if “Entice Me Baby” is any indication, her journey is only just beginning.
