Joeboy also detailed the making of his smash hit “Baby” and said the time he wrote and recorded “Baby” was a down period for him as he was unsure if the music was going to work. He also revealed that there were a handful of artists who had an opportunity to secure the beat that eventually became “Baby,” but they all rejected it.
