Jamie Miller's 'Babydoll' Becomes His Biggest Hit, Billboard Reports

Welsh singer Jamie Miller's new single "Babydoll" is already the biggest hit of his career, according to a Billboard interview published on 10 November 2026. It is his first new single in two years.

Miller, who is 29, grew up just outside Cardiff. Many people first saw him in 2017, when he took part in the UK version of The Voice, the televised singing contest. He released his debut album, Long Way Home, in 2024, and his Broken Memories EP in 2022 while he was signed to Atlantic Records.

This year brought two changes to his team. Miller signed a deal with Republic Records, one of the major record labels, and he also signed with the management firm Raw Material. A manager guides an artist's career and business decisions, while a label pays for recording and promotion in exchange for a share of the music's income.

"Babydoll" was written as part of a full album. Miller wrote the album, including the single, with songwriters Hayley Warner and Michael Blum during a stay in Joshua Tree, California, a desert town known for its national park. The song's wider reach has come partly through social media. Miller filmed at least 40 short videos that use snippets of the song. That campaign was planned before his wider team was brought in, according to Billboard.

One clip has done especially well. A mall dance video, in which Miller wears a suit jacket, tie and sunglasses, was posted in late July. It has more than three million views on TikTok, the short-video app.

Social clips are a common way for songs to find listeners before a release, because a short, catchy section can be shared, copied and replayed. Many artists now plan these clips alongside the music itself. For Miller, the clips and the song have arrived together, and the interview frames the single as the start of a new chapter.

Any future chart position or sales figure for "Babydoll" would come from the chart or company that counts it.
