Background and concept The seven members of Baby Dolls—Arianne Dela Cruz, Chole Florendo, Johaira Moris, Juby Sabino, Jelai Ahamil, Eriel Reyes, and Ina Ortega—were originally selected by ABS-CBN producers from It's Showtime competitive segments, namely "Girl on Fire" and "Sexy Babe".
Following their established residency as daily dancers on the variety show, ABS-CBN Music transitioned the group into commercial recording. Inspired by physical workout soundtracks and high-energy aerobics, the concept of Zoom Baby Dolls was developed to encourage listeners to embrace physical wellness and confidence. According to the label, the music was strategically curated to accompany daily fitness routines and "glow-ups" while retaining the high-tempo, synchronized dance styles for which the group was known.
