"Babies" was first released as a single for Gift Records in 1992, accompanied by a music video directed by Cocker. Though it failed to chart, the song was included on the band's next album, "His 'n' Hers" and was later remixed for the "Sisters EP" in 1994. This new EP release became a Top 20 hit when re-released in 1994, peaking at number 19 on the UK Singles Chart. It has since seen critical acclaim and has been named by many writers as among Pulp's best songs.
