"Lullaby" is a song by English singer Melanie B, released as the final single from her debut solo album, Hot (2000). It was released on 4 June 2001 and peaked at No. 13 on the UK Singles Chart. The music video and single cover feature her daughter Phoenix Chi Gulzar. The song was co-written by Melanie Brown, Richard Stannard, Julian Gallagher, and Richard Norris.

Reception[edit]

The media criticised Brown for using her child in the music video and single artwork, labelling her "Desperate Spice" and insinuating that she was exploiting her child as a marketing tool. The single entered and peaked at No. 13 on the UK Singles Chart and garnered mixed reviews by Nigel Packer of BBC.[2]

Music video[edit]

The music video was filmed in Morocco and was shot on 13 and 14 April 2001.[citation needed] The video features Melanie walking down an alleyway singing and at one point helping a child tie his shoes. The video ends with Melanie walking onto a beach singing the end of the song. Shots of Melanie with her daughter Phoenix Chi are shown throughout the video.
