"Me, Myself & I" is a song by American rapper G-Eazy and American singer Bebe Rexha. It was released on October 14, 2015, as the first single for his second studio album When It's Dark Out. "Me, Myself & I" was written by Bebe Rexha, G-Eazy, Lauren Christy, TMS and Michael Keenan. The song was originally produced by Bebe Rexha and TMS and re-produced by Michael Keenan, with additional production by Christoph Andersson and G-Eazy. It is so far the highest-charting single for both G-Eazy and Bebe Rexha, peaking at number 7 on the US Billboard Hot 100. It is featured in the NBA 2K17 soundtrack.
The original version of "Me, Myself and I" was written by Bebe Rexha, Lauren Christy, and TMS in early 2015 with the title "I Don't Need Anything". The song was intended to be part of Rexha's debut album, but her label wasn't convinced it fit the style of her upcoming album. She asked a friend to put her in contact with rapper G-Eazy, because she wanted to do the song with him. Bebe and G-Eazy met three days later and she played the track on piano for him. He loved the track and asked for the song to be on his album. Rexha accepted and began immediately working on the track with Michael Keenan, G-Eazy's producer. Bebe and Michael re-produced the beat and decided to keep the chorus, post-chorus, and bridge of the original song and put G-Eazy's rap on the verses, while changing the title to "Me, Myself & I". She performed the acoustic of the original version of the song on Elvis Duran and the Morning Show on March 16, 2016.
According to musicnotes.com, the song is written in the key of C minor, with a tempo of 112 beats per minute.
