Connie Francis opens up on the response received by Pretty Little Baby

As mentioned, the Newark, New Jersey native’s song Pretty Little Baby started getting recognition on social media this month. People magazine stated that the single specifically went viral on the short video platform TikTok.

Connie Francis reshared a post on Facebook on May 18, 2025, which included a link to a news piece by Billboard, speaking on the success of the song after 63 years. The link was originally posted by Connie’s close friend, Ron Roberts, and Francis expressed gratitude to him.

Connie also wrote:

“The first I learned of it was when Ron called to advise me that I had a “a viral hit”. Clearly out of touch with present day music statistics terminology, my initial response was to ask: “What’s that?” Thank you everyone!”

During her latest interview with The New York Times, Connie Francis expressed her happiness about the fact that the new generation was recognizing her music. Connie opened up on how she felt after receiving the track for another time, saying that it is a “cute song.”

Francis continued:

“I wanted something for the B-side of a single and I chose something that wouldn’t give any A-side any competition. I don’t even know the name of the record that I put it on. But I think it has a ring of innocence in this chaotic name and it connects with people.”
