Background


"Bye Baby" was produced by Noah "40" Shebib and Salaam Remi, a regular collaborator who has been producing for Nas since his 2001 album Stillmatic. Remi and Nas were able to work with 40 through his manager, whom Remi had a close relationship with.[1] Remi sent Shebib the looped sample from "Goodbye Love" by Guy[citation needed] and Nas's vocals, as he subsequently incorporated various elements of the original song, including Aaron Hall's vocals. 40 allowed Remi to lead the production credit, as the original sample was his idea.
