NUMBER 1 Lyrics – DaBaby | from “Be More Greatful”

DaBaby’s flipping the script on comebacks with Be More Greatful, his raw-edged LP that’s been brewing since his vault sessions, confirmed complete and eyeing a holiday-week drop via Interscope—and “NUMBER 1” crashes in like that first-place confetti, all brash flex and zero apologies for owning the throne.

This cut’s DaBaby in full throttle: bouncy Charlotte trap with those signature ad-libs slicing through thumping 808s and skittering snares, self-produced vibes that nod to his early mixtape chaos but laced with polished hooks for the arenas. It’s motivational mayhem—bars stacking triumphs over the noise, from dodging scandals to stacking plaques, with that infectious chorus drilling home the grind’s payoff. Thematically, it’s gratitude weaponized: no pity party, just unfiltered shouts to the doubters who thought he’d fade, wrapped in playful jabs at the fakes who switched up. Teased in snippets on his Insta last month, it’s got fans already chanting along, turning therapy-fueled bars into TikTok anthems that scream “still here, still him.”

Be More Greatful lives up to the name—a tight 6-track exhale on counting blessings amid the bullshit, pulling from scrapped gems and fresh fire to map his evolution from street hustler to family man. The vibe’s reflective trap with soulful flips: openers like “RAIN RAIN” wash away the past, “OUT YA BUSINESS” sets boundaries, then “NUMBER 1” peaks the energy before winding through “PBJT”’s sticky chaos, “LETTER TO MY YN”’s heartfelt nod to his kids (out now as the lead), and closers like “Anniversary” toasting the wins. No massive guest list; it’s mostly solo, with subtle nods to producers like Mikkigunz, clocking around 35 minutes of no-skip heat. Recorded piecemeal in ATL studios post his ’24 reset, it’s DaBaby preaching presence over perfection—grateful for the mess that made him.

He’s surging into year’s end on a high, off Please Say DaBaby Vol. 1’s April ’25 takeover that silenced the skeptics and racked streams like old times. The 34-year-old dad-turned-rapper’s trading wild-child antics for wiser swagger—sold-out pop-ups, therapy shoutouts in interviews, and this LP as his manifesto. It’s not just music; it’s the blueprint for bouncing back louder, proving the Baby who went #1 with “Rockstar” never really left, just leveled up.
