Data Insight

Lil Baby writes on all twenty-three tracks, and every producer on the record also signs the writer line of the song he built, so the writing credits track the production credits almost name for name. Murda Beatz takes the largest share of the board with four songs, Kaigoinkrazy three, and Harto, Tay Keith, G1 and Haze two apiece. The credit lists only widen where the music is borrowed: "Cost to Be Alive" runs to eight writers, "Stop Playin" to seven on an interpolation of Smerz's "Flashing", "In a Minute" to six once Ellie Goulding, Jim Eliot and Howard New are folded in, and "Real Spill" reaches back to Helen Adu. Everything else stays small, with "Perfect Timing" the tightest at two names. The engineering never moves. Thomas "Tillie" Mann mixed all twenty-three tracks, Colin Leonard mastered them, and the recording work splits between Mattazik Muzik and Angie Randisi, with Anthony "Keys" Villena and John Gotitt covering a track each.

It's Only Me is Lil Baby's third studio album, released October 14, 2022 through Quality Control Music and Motown, with Wolfpack and 4 Pockets Full also on the release. Twenty-three tracks, no interludes, and guest turns from Nardo Wick, Young Thug, Fridayy, Future, Rylo Rodriguez, Jeremih, EST Gee and Pooh Shiesty. It entered the Billboard 200 at number one on 216,000 album-equivalent units and pulled 288.97 million official streams in that week, the third-highest one-week streaming total for any album that year. The cover stages his own life across a Mount Rushmore, an answer to the argument that broke out when Atlanta murals used the same idea and put him on it.

Frequently Asked Questions It's Only Me

When did It's Only Me come out and who released it?
October 14, 2022, through Quality Control Music and Motown, with Wolfpack and 4 Pockets Full also credited on the release. It was Lil Baby's third studio album and his first solo record since My Turn in 2020.
How did It's Only Me chart?
It entered the Billboard 200 at number one for the chart dated October 29, 2022, on 216,000 album-equivalent units, 6,500 of them pure album sales. That made it his third US number-one album. It also topped the Canadian albums chart and the US Top R&B/Hip-Hop Albums chart, and reached number three in the UK, number four in Switzerland and number two in the Netherlands.

Eight guests across twenty-three tracks leaves fifteen songs to Lil Baby alone.
Who produced It's Only Me?
Forty-one producers are credited across the album. Murda Beatz has four songs, Kaigoinkrazy three, and Harto, Tay Keith, G1 and Haze two apiece. Wheezy, Sir Fredo and Ele Beatz share "Never Hating", Fridayy produced his own feature, and Cubeatz, FnZ, ATL Jacob, Sean Momberger and Flex on the Beat each take one.
What were the singles from It's Only Me?
Two. "In a Minute" came out on April 8, 2022 and peaked at number 14 on the Billboard Hot 100. "Heyy" arrived on October 10, four days ahead of the album, and peaked at number 21. "Detox", released the day the album was announced, is a non-album single and is not on the record.
How long is It's Only Me?
Twenty-three tracks in 65:06. The longest is "No Fly Zone" at 3:34 and the shortest is "Back and Forth" at 2:01, so nothing on it runs under two minutes.
Data note: Stage-name to legal-name pairs were fixed by matching the Wikipedia writer column, which prints legal names, against the Genius writer list for the same track, which prints stage names. Kai Hasegawa as Kaigoinkrazy, Jeuan Tabarrejo as G1, Ryan Hartlove as Harto, Henri Velasco as Hoops, Leon Lightfoot III as King LeeBoy, Shane Lindstrom as Murda Beatz, Marcel Korkutata as Mars, Christopher Pearson as YC, Wesley Glass as Wheezy, Frédéric Lapointe as Sir Fredo, Eelis Oikarinen as Ele Beatz, Tavoris Hollins as Vory, Francis LeBlanc as Fridayy, Andre Robertson as Bizness Boi, Rodney Montreal as Fortune, Dwan Avery as DY, Ethan Hayes as Haze, Jacob Canady as ATL Jacob, Simarpreet Bahia as Ayo Sim, Matthew Samuels as Boi-1da, Rupert Thomas, Jr. as Sevn Thomas, Brytavious Chambers as Tay Keith, Rodrick Moore Jr. as Roddy Ricch, Jordan Holt-May as Landstrip Chip, Adrian Nielsen as Awavy, Hampton Sallee III as DJ Champ, Jacob Sclaver as Juko, Anton Gololobov as Anthony Palmer, Chidi Osondu as Chi Chi, Aaron Butler as Flex on the Beat and Sajeethan Sakthivel as Saj all resolve that way. On three tracks the two lists match as sets but not name by name: "Pop Out" pairs Tyler Maline, Moritz Busch and Alexander Monro with Trademark, ShortyyK and Eza in an order no source states, and the same holds for the Gomringer brothers behind Cubeatz on "No Fly Zone" and for Michael Mulé and Isaac De Boni behind FnZ on "Stop Playin", so both sets are recorded as printed rather than paired by guess. Ellie Goulding's legal name, Elena Jane Goulding, comes from her MusicBrainz legal-name alias. Genius lists three writers on "Not Finished" where Wikipedia lists four, so Cameron March appears as a composer with no matching stage name. Genius also adds Boi-1da as a producer on "Everything", Murda Beatz as a writer on "Cost to Be Alive" and Wwind as a producer on "No Fly Zone", none of which Wikipedia carries, so the producer lists follow Wikipedia. Neither Discogs release for the album carries an engineering credit of any kind, so mixing, mastering and recording come from the Genius credit blocks, which name the same team on every track. Wikipedia spells Young Thug's legal name Jeffrey Williams on this page and Jeffery Williams elsewhere; the spelling used across this catalogue is Jeffery Williams.
