Bain shares the inspiration behind the song, explaining that “Sunshine Baby” is a nickname for her dog, and it reflects moments spent with her ex on the beach, embodying a sense of carefree joy. “My ex and I always used to lay on the beach together being sunshine babies,” Bain shares. “The chorus is kind of a submission to the end of our relationship, but singing it in a positive light. There’s a transience in every part of a relationship and in the circle of everything it comes back around.”
