Songfacts®:

• "Baby I'm Back" kicks off the deluxe version of The Kid Laroi's debut album, The First Time. It wastes no time diving headfirst into the whirlwind that has been his life since the release of the standard edition 10 months earlier.
  
  Laroi reflects on fame, personal relationships, and the complexities of his life, mentioning the challenges of dealing with success and the people around him.
• Musically, "Baby I'm Back" taps into a sense of nostalgia by sampling Player's classic hit "Baby Come Back." The sampling adds an emotional layer to the song, creating a soundtrack for Laroi's reflections on love and self-discovery as his star continues to rise.
• The Kid Laroi co-wrote "Baby I'm Back" with the song's producers, Rogét Chahayed and Dopamine.
  
  A conservatory-trained pianist, Chahayed's credits include Halsey's "Bad at Love," Travis Scott's "Sicko Mode," Drake's "Laugh Now Cry Later," Doja Cat's "Kiss Me More" and Jack Harlow's "First Class." He also worked on Laroi's song "Girls" from the The First Time deluxe edition.
  
  Dopamine worked with Laroi on four songs from the standard edition of The First Time, including the opening track, "Sorry."
