"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.
