To this day, “Baby featuring Ludacris” remains one of Justin Bieber’s most iconic hits. The track was the lead single from his album “My World 2.0” and became an overnight sensation when it was released in January 2010. It was also, for a time, one of the most-viewed videos on YouTube, amassing 3.4 billion views before PSY’s “Gangnam Style” overtook it in 2012.
It’s not unusual for an artist to celebrate the anniversary of a song that propelled them onto the global stage, but it’s far less common for them to revisit the set where it was filmed decades later — often because the location no longer exists or the set was dismantled once production wrapped. Justin surprised fans by returning to the “Baby” set and even treated them to a short a cappella performance.
Earlier today (Friday, 12th December), Canadian superstar Justin Bieber posted a video on his Instagram page showing him revisiting Lucky Strike Lanes, the bowling alley used as one of the filming locations for the “Baby” music video 15 years ago. In the clip, the singer can be heard performing his iconic hit, accompanied by some beatboxing from the friend filming the post.
Judging from the footage, it appears that the venue has either closed down or is currently undergoing renovations, as several floorboards have been removed and the space appears dimly lit. Regardless, the set clearly brought back some happy memories. Shortly after the post, fans were thrilled to see the 31-year-old revisiting the venue, reminiscing about the first time they watched the music video.
Some even suggested that the Grammy winner should release a “My World 2.0” anniversary acoustic album to celebrate its 16th year next year. Jasmine Villegas, who played Justin’s love interest in the “Baby” music video, also reacted to the post with teary-eyed emojis, clearly overcome with nostalgia.
