Composition
"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]
