Baby Boy was written by Beyoncé & Sean Paul & Scott Storch & Robert Waller & JAY-Z & Ini Kamoze.
Baby Boy was produced by Beyoncé & Scott Storch.
I knew Sean had to be on my album because I love his approach. ‘Baby Boy’ is another song about a fantasy and it’s one of my favourites.
— Beyoncé, Thread, 2003
The night Beyoncé recorded “Baby Boy”, she had the chorus but didn’t like the verses until Jay stepped up and told her exactly how to rewrite them. She told Rolling Stone in 2004:
He helped a lot with a lot of the songs. I’m amazed how much he knows about everything. He can write a song for a woman...
Yes. “Baby Boy” was certified gold by the RIAA on October 27, 2005, and platinum on June 14, 2006.
She sent it to me over the internet, and I’m outside my yard in a car underneath a mango tree. I’m writing the lyrics, and a mango falls straight through the car window into my lap. And I’m like, ‘That’s a hit song right there.'
