Grace VanderWaal<\/u><\/a> is all grown up. The 21-year-old singer-songwriter and actress, who first captured our hearts as a ukulele-wielding prodigy on America\u2019s Got Talent<\/em><\/em><\/u><\/a>, is embracing her bratty, carefree side with her latest single, \u201cBabydoll\u201d \u2014 a sassy, unapologetic pop track featuring internet It Girl, Aliyah\u2019s Interlude<\/u><\/a>. It\u2019s a playful, high-energy follow-up to her last release, the introspective \u201cWhat\u2019s Left of Me<\/u><\/a>,\u201d and a sign that VanderWaal is ready to let it all loose in this new chapter of her career.<\/p>\n

\u201c\u2018Babydoll\u2019 is all about being in your diva era, and for me, it\u2019s my new pop anthem!\u201d she tells PAPER<\/em>. Co-written with Tiffany Stringer<\/u><\/a>, the track emerged from a studio conversation about her alter egos, with VanderWaal embracing the persona of a playful, high-maintenance diva who refuses to hear the word \u201cno.\u201d <\/p>\n

The energy extends into its accompanying music video, directed by Sophie Hur, where VanderWaal and Aliyah exude effortless cool in a loose, spontaneous it-girl shoot. \u201cOriginally, we were supposed to shoot this in LA with a completely different treatment,\u201d she says. \u201cAfter some development, it made sense to just get together with Aliyah in New York and shoot this with the intention of feeling a little bit more carefree.\u201d<\/p>\n
