By Myself (Lil Baby and Rylo Rodriguez song)

"By Myself" is a melodic song^[1] in which the rappers reflect on their roads to success and those who helped them during the journey.^[2]

Elias Andrews of HotNewHipHop wrote "Lil Baby does his thing on the song, but Rod Wave may steal the show here. The rapper is known for putting forth a somber and mournful personal. It's become a meme at this point, to get Rod Wave on a song if you want it to sound sad. There's a reason why, though: he's good at it. Wave sounds fantastic on this moody instrumental, and he gives his all during the music video. He's the artist who seems to be the most invested in the emotion being conveyed by the chorus and the verses. Rylo Rodriguez does a fine job on the back end of the song."^[1]

The music video was released on January 6, 2025. Directed by Nyce, it finds the three rappers at an apartment complex^[2] and gambling with massive amounts of cash in a game of craps in a hallway.^[3] The clip contains footage filmed from a hand-held camera, in both color and black-and-white.^[1]
