"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]

"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]

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]

Chart performance

[edit]

In December 2023, "Leavemealone" debuted at number 30 on the UK Singles Chart with first-week sales of 18,178 track-equivalent units.[8] Following a decline in popularity of Christmas music in January 2024, "Leavemealone" climbed from number 75 to a new peak of number 11 with sales of 15,210 units.[9] It spent 18 weeks on the chart and was certified platinum by the British Phonographic Industry (BPI) for sales of 600,000 units.[10][11] On the UK Dance Chart, the song entered at number two, behind Cassö, Raye and D-Block Europe's "Prada".[12]
