NonameAbout
The 9th track from Noname’s debut project tells a story of an abortion. She masks a traditional birth control remedy (see number 3) with feeding a child with care.
As the song progresses the mother inches closer to explicitly saying what happened “some give presents before they’re even ready” but s...
Bye Bye Baby Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Interview, interlude in the nude with my boo thang
Got the flu with the tea remedy for my boo thang
My baby needs some milk and honey
My baby needs some milk and honey
I swear he love me, my tummy almost got ready
For biddi-baby spaghetti and teddy bear in my window now
Golden child, always smile
Before you leave, don't look down
God will help you spread your wings
[Hook]
My baby needs some milk and honey
My baby needs some milk and honey
[Verse 2]
Ask me why she said goodbye, why baby dyin' white walls
Cigarettes over skyfall, writing this like it's my song
Ask me why she hesitated, almost waited, waiting room
Play date up in heaven soon, soon I will see the King
He reminds me, some give presents before they're even ready
I could see that she loves me, I know her heart is heavy
[Outro]
Telefone-ication nation, baby help me testify
Oooh you know I hate goodbye
Bye bye blue, somebody let the yellow in
Bye bye blue, I'm gonna fall in love again
On a lonely road where happiness needs us
You my baby, you my baby
I'm your baby, I'm your baby
You my baby, you my baby
I'm your baby, I'm your baby
On a lonely road where happiness needs us
I'm gonna fall in love again
On a lonely road where happiness needs us
Telefone-ication nation, baby help me testify
Oooh you know I hate goodbyes
Bye bye blue, somebody let the yellow in
Bye bye blue, I'm gonna fall in love again
On a lonely road where happiness needs us
You my baby, you my baby
I'm your baby, I'm your baby
You my baby, you my baby
I'm your baby, I'm your baby
On a lonely road where happiness needs us
I'm gonna fall in love again
On a lonely road where happiness needs us

What did Noname say about "Bye Bye Baby"?
I’ll let Noname give yall the full scoop on this, but it’s true that it is about an abortion. Verse 1 is the mother’s voice and verse 2 is the baby’s voice.
But remember that lyricism is an art and though it does have a specific intention, you are free to interpret it however you feel. Whatever it...
What have the artists said about the song?
What I tried to do is make a love song for them. I feel like whenever I hear people talking about abortion, they typically take the love out of it, as if it can never be a loving act — as if it’s only done out of hate or desperation. I know women who have gone through that experience. And there hasn...
What was the recording process like for "Bye Bye Baby"?
Cam O'bi: We made that beat in five or 10 minutes, instantly… Noname wrote the song as we were making it. From the beat to the lyrics, total, we probably spent an hour. I’ve never worked that fast.
Phoelix: I started playing chords, Cam started playing drums, and it came together right there… The t...
