Via Capitol Records “Now there’s no one to text when the plane landsOr to call when it’s taking offRight, left, baby stepsI’ll be my own pair of safe handsIt’s not the end, it’s the making ofRight, left, for nowI’m taking ba ba ba baby steps.” These lyrics capture the quiet ache of adjusting to life after a breakup, when small, everyday moments like texting someone after a flight suddenly feel empty. The repetition of “right, left, baby steps” acts as a mantra for moving forward slowly and gently, while rebuilding a sense of safety and self-reliance. Instead of framing the end of a relationship as a collapse, the song reframes it as a beginning, reminding the listener that “it’s not the end, it’s the making of.” The stuttered “ba ba ba baby steps” in the chorus reflects both vulnerability and determination, showing how healing often happens in hesitant, incremental moves.
The Olivia Dean Effect!
Olivia Dean’s music is a gentle but powerful reminder that self-love is not a destination; it is a practice. Through vulnerable storytelling and tender honesty, she shows that growth often begins in the smallest moments, a boundary set, a truth spoken, a step taken alone. Her songs invite listeners to honor their needs, celebrate their worth, and trust that choosing themselves is not an act of selfishness but one of courage. In every lyric, Dean encourages us to keep taking those quiet, steady steps toward who we are becoming and to love ourselves fiercely along the way.
