With her latest single “Entice Me Baby” (dropped on August 15th), Toronto’s own Nicole Huff is kicking down the door and stepping straight onto the dancefloor. It’s a track that feels like a love letter to 2000s pop—the era of Britney Spears, J.Lo, and early-2000s Mariah—but with Nicole’s own modern twist that makes it feel fresh, playful, and distinctly hers.
Built around a bouncy beat and layered harmonies, the song has the kind of sticky hook that stays with you long after the music stops. There’s a clear nod to her influences—Britney’s infectious sass, J.Lo’s club-ready grooves, Mariah and Ariana’s vocal acrobatics—but Nicole isn’t mimicking them. Instead, she folds their DNA into her own vocal power, adding playful ad-libs, rich harmonies, and a bridge that’s as strong as any 2000s anthem.
What makes the story behind the track even better is how fast it came together. Written in under an hour with Jonah Cappa and produced by Roy Hamilton III (whose pedigree in pop and R&B speaks for itself), “Entice Me Baby” flows with the spontaneity of a song that almost wrote itself. That kind of lightning-in-a-bottle creativity is rare, but Nicole leans into it with complete confidence. You can hear that spark in her performance—she’s not just singing a pop track, she’s inhabiting it.
Recorded in Toronto, the single also shows Nicole’s savvy as a modern artist: she wanted her own version of “…Baby One More Time”—a massive, career-defining pop statement—but approached it without imitation, instead threading in her own perspective and style. That makes “Entice Me Baby” feel both nostalgic and new, like rediscovering the thrill of pop radio but in a way that belongs squarely to 2025.

Lyrically, the track is all about empowerment and self-expression—uplifting listeners while keeping the mood fun and sexy. Nicole has been vocal about wanting to write the kind of music she herself would have loved growing up, and it shows. The song radiates joy and confidence, making it impossible not to move, smile, or both.
And she’s already testing her star power on stage, recently performing at Taste of Manila, with more live shows to come. Pair that with early buzz around this release and a forthcoming EP, and it’s clear Nicole Huff is gearing up for a breakthrough moment.
“Entice Me Baby” is more than just a debut single—it’s Nicole Huff planting her flag. With its mix of throwback charm and contemporary polish, it’s a song that feels destined for playlists, dancefloors, and car speakers on full blast. If this is the opening move, the rest of the EP is going to be a ride worth taking.
