"Baby's Got a Temper" is a song recorded by English electronica group The Prodigy, released on 1 July 2002. It was the band's first single in five years, following "Smack My Bitch Up" in 1997, and was their second that was not a song from any of their albums. It was also their first release after dancer Leeroy Thornhill left the band in 2000.
The song's lyrics, written by Keith Flint, heavily played upon the misuse of the drug rohypnol. This resulted in the controversy surrounding the song, in which a lawsuit was filed against the band. "Baby's Got a Temper" was released as their "thirteenth single" to generally negative reviews. Liam Howlett responded to the negative reaction to the single that he didn't own it. Despite this criticism, the song was a top five hit on the Canadian Singles Chart.

Famous quotes containing the words baby and/or temper:
“To worry about spoiling an infant by comforting him when he cries is needless.... If you put the baby down and the baby cries, pick him up. His crying isn’t a habit you should try to break. Your baby can’t be taught not to cry.”
—Lawrence Balter (20th century)
“The colicky baby who becomes calm, the quiet infant who throws temper tantrums at two, the wild child at four who becomes serious and studious at six all seem to surprise their parents. It is difficult to let go of one’s image of a child, say goodbye to the child a parent knows, and get accustomed to this slightly new child inhabiting the known child’s body.”
—Ellen Galinsky (20th century)
