"Ain't Nobody Takin My Baby" is a single by American rapper Russ, released on December 23, 2016, through his SoundCloud page.[1] It was produced by Russ himself.
Background
In an Instagram Live session, Russ said about the song:
This song is an unhealthy relationship anthem and I said that on stage a lot. Literally what I said, "I don't care about an argument I'll still be here tomorrow." It's fucked up, it's a mess, it's a shitty relationship, or like, "I'll be damned if I lose you" type shit.[2]
Russ has stated the song is about the same woman he talks about in his songs "I Think My Girl Caught a Body" and "Goodbye".[2][3]
In an interview with KMEL in February 2017, Russ revealed the song was originally planned to feature singer Kehlani.[4]
"Ain't Nobody Takin My Baby" is Russ' first independently released single to be certified Platinum.[5]
Composition
The song uses a slow tempo and features claps in the production, over which Russ reflects on his relationship with his girlfriend and declares "nobody is taking his baby".[1] He also mentions being arrested with her.[2]
