content

The song deals with a former friendship of the performer and was therefore understood by observers as a thematic reprocessing of his friendship with Kay One , which had broken up beforehand . In 2013, Bushido confirmed this interpretation by explicitly mentioning Kay One in the chorus of the song during a live performance. In the song, there are passages of text like “It feels like shit when friends turn their backs on you. We see a valley, but don't build bridges any more ” and “ I thought that it would fit with the two of us. Brother, nobody sees me in the night when I'm crying. Please leave me alone ” .

production

Leave me alone was recorded at Beatzarre Studios in Berlin. In addition to Bushido himself, the producers of the song also include the producer duo Beatzarre and Djorkaeff , who are responsible for most of the beats on the album. Thilo Brandt recorded the guitar riff of the song. The lyrics were written by Bushido and the rapper MoTrip , who was involved in the lyrics of a total of 8 songs on AMYF.

Commercial win

Let me alone was not released as a single, but like all single tracks on the album AMYF it was also available digitally as a single piece. In this way, the song reached number 61 in the German single charts. In Austria the song rose to number 52 and in Switzerland to number 34.
