"Leavemealone" is a song by English DJ and producer Fred Again and American rapper Baby Keem. It was released on 8 December 2023 by Atlantic Records UK, and included on Fred Again's compilation album, USB.

"Leavemealone" was nominated for Best Dance/Electronic Recording at the 67th Annual Grammy Awards.[2]

Composition

[edit | edit source]

"Leavemealone" is written in the key of A minor with a tempo of 87 beats per minute.[3] Baby Keem's rap vocals are samples of two of his own songs: "Bullies" from his 2019 mixtape Die for My Bitch, and "South Africa" from his 2021 album The Melodic Blue.[4][5] Fred Again chopped up, repitched and remodeled the vocals using the music sampling service Tracklib.[6] Keem's flow switches in tandem with each production change.[7]

Critical reception

[edit | edit source]

In his review for Billboard, Jason Lipshutz wrote that Fred Again streamlined the Baby Keem samples and made them sound "wholly original".[4] Robin Murray of Clash said the song "brings some fire to midwinter".[7]
