## Music Video

"**Me, Myself & I**" is a song by American rapper G-Eazy and American singer Bebe Rexha, billed together as G-Eazy x Bebe Rexha. It was released on October 14, 2015, as the first single for his second studio album When It's Dark Out. "Me, Myself & I" was written by Bebe Rexha, G-Eazy, and Lauren Christy. The song was originally produced by Bebe Rexha and TMS and re-produced by Michael Keenan, with additional production by Christoph Andersson and G-Eazy. It was formerly both artists' highest peaking single, until Bebe Rexha's song "Meant to Be" peaked at number two on the US Billboard Hot 100, and G-Eazy's song "No Limit" peaked at number four. "Me, Myself & I" is featured in the NBA 2K17 soundtrack.

## Recording and production

The original version of "Me, Myself and I" was written by Bebe Rexha, Lauren Christy, and TMS in early 2015 with the title "I Don't Need Anything". The song was intended to be part of Rexha's debut album, but her label wasn't convinced it fit the style of her upcoming album. She asked a friend to put her in contact with rapper G-Eazy, because she wanted to do the song with him. Bebe and G-Eazy met three days later and she played the track on piano for him. He loved the track and asked for the song to be on his album. Rexha accepted and began immediately working on the track with Michael Keenan, G-Eazy's producer. Bebe and Michael re-produced the beat and decided to keep the chorus, post-chorus, and bridge of the original song and put G-Eazy's rap on the verses, while changing the title to "Me, Myself & I". She performed the acoustic of the original version of the song on Elvis Duran and the Morning Show on March 16, 2016.

## Lyrics

[Bebe Rexha (G-Eazy):]

Oh, it's just me, myself and I

Solo ride until I die

'Cause I got me for life

(yeah)

Oh I don't need a hand to hold

Even when the night is cold

I got that fire in my soul

[G-Eazy:]

And as far as I can see I just need privacy

Plus a whole lot of tree, fuck all this modesty

I just need space to do me get a world that they're tryna see

A Stella Maxwell right beside of me

A Ferrari I'm buyin' three

A closet of Saint Laurent, get what I want when I want

'Cause this hunger is driving me, yeah

I just need to be alone, I just need to be at home

Understand what I'm speaking on if time is money I need a loan

But regardless I'll always keep keepin' on

Fuck fake friends, we don't take L's we just make M's

While y'all follow, we just make trends

I'm right back to work when that break ends

[Bebe Rexha (G-Eazy):]

Oh, it's just me, myself and I

Solo ride until I die

'Cause I got me for life

(Got me for life, yeah)

Oh I don't need a hand to hold

Even when the night is cold

I got that fire in my soul

[Bebe Rexha (G-Eazy):]

I don't need anything to get me through the night

Except the beat that's in my heart

Yeah, it's keeping me alive

(Keeps me alive)

I don't need anything to make me satisfied (you know)

'Cause the music does me good and it gets me every time

[G-Eazy:]

Yeah, and I don't like talking to strangers

So get the fuck off me I'm anxious

I'm tryna be cool but I may just go ape shit

Say "fuck y'all" to all of y'all faces

It changes though now that I'm famous

Everyone knows how this lifestyle is dangerous

But I love it the rush is amazing

Celebrate nightly and everyone rages

I found how to cope with my anger

I'm swimming in money

Swimming in liquor my liver is muddy

But it's all good I'm still sippin' this bubbly

This shit is lovely, this shit ain't random, I didn't get lucky

Made it right here 'cause I'm sick with it Cudi

They all take the money for granted

But don't want to work for it tell me now, isn't it funny? Nah

[Bebe Rexha (G-Eazy):]

Oh, it's just me, myself and I

Solo ride until I die

'Cause I got me for life

(Got me for life, yeah)

Oh I don't need a hand to hold

Even when the night is cold

I got that fire in my soul

[Bebe Rexha (G-Eazy):]

I don't need anything to get me through the night

Except the beat that's in my heart

Yeah, it's keeping me alive

(Keeps me alive)

I don't need anything to make me satisfied (you know)

'Cause the music does me good and it gets me every time

[Bebe Rexha (G-Eazy):]

Like ba-ba-ba-ba-da-ba

Ba-ba-ba-da-ba (Yee!)

Ba-ba-ba-ba-da-ba

Ba-ba-ba-da-ba

Ba-ba-ba-ba-da-ba

Ba-ba-ba-da-ba

'Cause the music does me good and it gets me every time

[G-Eazy:]

Yeah, lonely nights I laid awake

Pray to lord, my soul to take

My heart's become too cold to break

Know I'm great but I'm broke as hell

Having dreams that I'm folding cake

All my life I've been told to wait

But I'mma get it now, yeah it's no debate

Yeah

[Bebe Rexha (G-Eazy):]

Oh, it's just me, myself and I

Solo ride until I die

'Cause I got me for life

(Got me for life, yeah)

Oh I don't need a hand to hold

Even when the night is cold

I got that fire in my soul

[Bebe Rexha (G-Eazy):]

I don't need anything to get me through the night

Except the beat that's in my heart

Yeah, it's keeping me alive

(Keeps me alive)

I don't need anything to make me satisfied (you know)

'Cause the music does me good and it gets me every time

[Bebe Rexha:]

Like ba-ba-ba-ba-da-ba
