01Composition
"Leavemealone" is written in the key of A minor with a tempo of 87 beats per minute. 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. Fred Again chopped up, repitched and remodeled the vocals using the music sampling service Tracklib. Keem's flow switches in tandem with each production change.
