It was commercially released on September 10, 2009.[1] The song is produced by Polow da Don and written by Ne-Yo and 50 Cent himself. The song contains a sample of "I Get Money" by 50 Cent himself.
Background
"Baby by Me" is a hip-hop song by American rapper 50 Cent appearing on his fourth officially released studio album Before I Self Destruct and was released as the first official single from the album. The single was announced to be released on radio on September 10, 2009 at 10:00PM by Hot97's Funkmaster Flex and Thisis50.com. In a couple hours the song was release online by 50 Cent's MySpace.
There are two versions of the song, the original version features Jovan Dais and the remix version features R&B singer Ne-Yo. Both versions were release online simultaneously. The official single version will be the remix version which features Ne-Yo. It has been annonced that there will be a video for the remix version but the production has not began for it, in his ustream interview on thisis50 he stated that he is putting in his own idea's for the music video.[2]
The album version of the song was the one where you don't even know the singer," 50 told DJ Whoo Kid over the weekend on Sirius Satellite Radio. "I did the reference in the studio. It's a little more visual. Ne-Yo lightened it up a little bit and made it ready for radio. It works. I gotta sift through and see what I'm gonna put on the album. The Ne-Yo record is a stronger radio version.
The single was made available to download on Amazon and iTunes on October 27th 2009.[3]
Music Video
The Music Video for "Baby By Me" was shot in mid October and features Kelly Rowland as 50 Cent's Love Interest. Ne-Yo apears in the music video.[2]
Reception
Billboard has stated:
With its club synthesizers and Ne-Yo-aided chorus, the track is far more radio-friendly than his past attempts. But it's also the least distinctive. A song like "Baby by Me" that overtly reaches for a pop audience may put 50 Cent back on the airwaves, but it won't necessarily energize the rapper's core fans. At this point, they might be more receptive to hearing something outside the box.
