"Baby Don't Hurt Me" is a collaborative single by French DJ David Guetta with British singer Anne-Marie and American rapper Coi Leray. It was released on 6 April 2023 through What a DJ and Warner UK. The song prominently interpolates Haddaway’s 1993 hit "What Is Love". It is included on the "Super Unhealthy" edition of Anne-Marie's third studio album Unhealthy.
The single was nominated for the Grammy Award for Best Pop Dance Recording at the 66th Annual Grammy Awards, the first nominations for Leray and Anne-Marie.
The song was co-written by Ed Sheeran, who talked about the collaboration in an interview in March 2023.[2] Guetta and Leray previewed the song at the 2023 Ultra Music Festival on 27 March 2023.[3] The song was described as a "modern" reimagination of the 1993 song,[4] with Guetta having found a formula "that works for him when it comes to scoring new hits" and sticking with it.[1] For the song, Guetta utilised the "iconic" riff, melodies and a few lyrics from the original, putting a modern spin to it.[5] The song release was accompanied by a lyric video.[6]
