"My Baby Just Cares for Me" is a jazz standard written by Walter Donaldson with lyrics by Gus Kahn.
[3] Simone recorded the song in late 1957 for her debut album, Little Girl Blue, released in February 1959.
To follow up this exposure, the track was released as a single by Charly Records,[7] entering the UK Singles Chart on October 31, 1987 (1987-10-31) and becoming, after a peak at number 5,[8] one of Simone's biggest hits some 18 years after her previous chart entry.
In 1987 a claymation music video was produced for "My Baby Just Cares for Me" by Aardman Animations[11] and directed by Peter Lord.
The video prominently features live action footage showing details of a piano, brushes on a snare drum, and a double bass as they play the song.
