Babymetal is the debut studio album by Japanese heavy metal band Babymetal.
It was first released on February 26, 2014, in Japan through BMD Fox Records, and was re-released
on May 29, 2015, in Europe through earMusic, and June 16, 2015, in the United States through
RED Associated Labels (RAL) and Sony Music Entertainment. Music from the album dates
back to the origins of the band in 2010, and incorporates tracks from their earliest released
singles, back when the band was a sub-unit of the Japanese idol group Sakura Gakuin.

Babymetal received generally positive reviews from music critics. The album managed to
peak at number four on the Oricon Weekly Chart, and has since been certified gold with over
100,000 copies sold in Japan. In the United States, the album debuted at number 187 on the
Billboard 200—a rarity for Japanese acts in the country—and managed to top the World Albums chart.
Two singles from Babymetal, "Ijime, Dame, Zettai" and "Megitsune", gained domestic success,
charting within the top ten in Japan. "Gimme Chocolate!!" became an international success,
with its music video garnering attention overseas and becoming the band's most viewed music video
on
Prior to the album's release, Babymetal performed as a sub-unit for the Japanese idol group
Sakura Gakuin from 2010 to 2013, and music that would be included surfaced as early as
October 30, 2010, when the members of the band recorded their vocals for their first song
"Doki Doki ? Morning". From 2011 to 2013, the band released five singles inside and
outside Sakura Gakuin, with the most successful single, "Ijime, Dame, Zettai" peaking at
number six on the Oricon Weekly Singles chart.
From late 2012 to early 2013, Babymetal took part in a series of headlining shows,
performing new songs in each performance. The band then embarked on their first tour, the
Babymetal Death Match Tour 2013: May Revolution, in May 2013,and later performed two
more headlining shows that year, each performed near the members' birthdays.
At the end of the latter show, Legend "1997", the band announced a pair of shows
to occur at Nippon Budokan, as well as an album slated for release on February 26, 2014,
with a standard edition and a limited edition bundled with a DVD.
Musically, the album follows Babymetal's fusion of J-pop and heavy metal
(referred to as kawaii metal),
at times incorporating elements of bubblegum pop, hip hop, drum and bass, and dubstep.
The opening track "Babymetal Death" is an instrumental speed metal track, with frequent
shouts of "Death!", while "Gimme Chocolate!!" features "thrashing, grating guitars" that alternate with
"speed-sung, quirky lyrics".Songs like "Megitsune" and "Iine!" are notable for their sudden
genre shifts, while the
Su-metal solo "Rondo of Nightmare" is described as a powerful cacophony.
The Black Babymetal song "Song 4" incorporates elements of reggae,
while "Catch Me If You Can" contains elements of "digi-rock" (digital rock) and industrial metal.
"Ijime, Dame, Zettai" begins with a mellow intro transitioning to speed metal.

Lyrically, the songs of the album are in Japanese, and focus on issues for young girls, like
acceptance and standing up for one's self. "Megitsune" is about women who hide their emotions
like a kitsune (fox), which serves as the band's signature hand gesture. "Gimme Chocolate!"
talks about girls who like to eat chocolate, while dealing with the worry of weight gain,
while "Iine!" emphazises the band's desire to "to establish a fun, aggressive, new genre in music".
"Doki Doki ? Morning" and "Uki Uki ? Midnight" are described as two sides of a day, and as such
describe the contrasting times of a girl's life. "Catch Me If You Can" has a more comical theme
of hide and seek with concepts of Japanese namahage."Headbangeeeeerrrrr!!!!!" tells the story of a
girl's first experience at a concert, while "Ijime, Dame, Zettai" is an anti-bullying theme.

Many of lyrics aren't credited to the many songwriters for the album.
According to Nakamoto, the meanings behind lyrics of the songs did not immediately become
recognized by the members of the band, but this would later be mitigated after performing the
tracks live in concert. After the album gained international attention, Nakamoto has mentioned
how a girl from the United Kingdom sent a letter about how "Ijime, Dame, Zettai" helped her deal
with school bullies, and further said,
