Songfacts®:

• "Rich Baby Daddy" is a wild ride in two parts. The song peels back the curtain on modern love in the glitzy world of fame, wealth, and the music scene. It's all about the hustle for real connection when the material and the seductive pull the strings. Drake, rapper Sexyy Red and singer-songwriter SZA serve up the full meal deal.
• Drake's first up trying to lure his crush away from her old flame. He flaunts Rolex and Patek Philippe watches like it's a flex-off. Yeah, he's a certified rich baby daddy.
  
  Sexyy Red brings the heat with lyrics that'll make your grandma blush. She owns her independence, oozes allure, and has men wrapped around her finger.
  
  SZA gets real, talking about a love so deep it's almost unbelievable. For her, it's not just about the physical. She wants that mental connection too.
• In the second part, Drake solidifies his status as the ultimate rich baby daddy. He's living the high life with his crush, showering her with luxury and showing her the ropes in the love department. Her ex? Straight-up irrelevant now.
• Drake recorded "Rich Baby Daddy" for his eighth studio album, For All the Dogs. SZA also guested on the album's lead single, "Slime You Out."
  
  The song marked the first time Sexyy Red has collaborated with both Drake and SZA. She did serve as Drake's opening act on some dates during his 2023 It's All A Blur tour.
• Gordo, Liohn, and Klahr created the beat, which heavily nods to Miami bass. Bnyx, Dougie F, the Loud Pack, and UV Killin Em also get listed as co-producers.
  
  Guatemalan American DJ and record producer Gordo produced five tracks on Drake's 2022 Honestly, Nevermind album, including "Sticky" and "Massive."
  
  Swedish producers Liohn and Klahr worked on three Honestly, Nevermind tracks, including "Massive." They also co-produced Lady Gaga's collaboration with Sir Elton John, "Sine From Above."
• Drake, SZA and Sezyy Red wrote "Rich Baby Daddy." Florence Welch, Isabella Summers, and T. Schaeferdieck are also credited because Drake interpolates "Dog Days Are Over" by Florence + the Machine in his second verse.
• SZA was sick with a fever and struggling to breathe when she recorded her verse, which is why it's difficult to decipher some of her words. She warned Drake that no one would understand her and she would sound crazy, but he assured her everything was fine.
• Drake takes viewers on a VHS timewarp in the "Rich Baby Daddy" video. Captured as a nostalgic home recording, the camera starts with Drake's shaky hand exploring the house as he chills with Sexyy Red and SZA.
  
  At the two-minute mark, Sexyy Red announces her water has broken, urging Drake to ditch the camera. Drake says he is "trying to capture the moment," and the music returns, showing the three on the way to the hospital. The visual concludes with SZA dancing in the hallway and Sexyy Red navigating labor pains.
