Baby Boy

About Baby Boy

"Baby Boy" is the 9th track on Childish Gambino's third studio album, "Awaken, My Love!". On “Baby Boy,” Donald addresses his son, born earlier in 2016. He expresses joy at this new chapter in his life, but also has fears as a new father, whether from external pressures or from his own struggles in sustaining a relationship with the mother of his child. Throughout the track Donald focuses on the specific fear of having his son taken away from him by the boy’s mother, should their relationship fail and she retains custody of the child. .
