Speaking on co-writing the song with
Jonas Jeberg,
Marcus Lomax and
Melanie Joy Fontana, she liked that the song could incorporate numerous experiences. She felt that it makes "LazyBaby" relatable since it is a mixture of people's feelings, which came together to form a "common narrative". Cameron stated that "LazyBaby" is based on her breakup with ex-boyfriend
Thomas Doherty, since she "knew that [she] had to write a song about it" and acknowledge it, since she always addresses her personal experiences through music. The song is a mixture between the
disco and
pop genres, and has been compared to the work of
Dua Lipa. The song was described by
Glamour as "a fun anthem about bouncing back after heartbreak". The release of "LazyBaby" was described by
Gay Times as Cameron's "big return" to music. Cameron felt that with the release of "LazyBaby", it was marking a point in her musical career where she was releasing "strong, anthemic, freeing" music, while also drawing on personal experiences and her past. She explained that due to tragedies in her early life, she does not like sad songs. Therefore, she did not want to release a sad song since she felt that she experienced enough "darkness". The song was released on April 2, 2021, with an accompanying music video directed by
Jasper Soloff. ==Credits and personnel==
