"Leave Me Alone" is a song by American rapper NF from his fourth studio album The Search (2019). It was written and produced by NF himself, Tommee Profitt and Cole Walowac.
The song revolves around mental health and the impact of fame; lyrically, NF details his feelings and the challenges regarding his sudden success in the music industry, accompanied with his self-hatred,[1][2][3] as well as the consequences of his obsessive–compulsive disorder: "That means I might take a normal thought and think it's so profound (leave me alone) / Ruminating, fill balloons up full of doubt / Do the same things, if I don't, I'm overwhelmed / Thoughts are pacing, they go 'round and 'round and 'round".[4][5][6]
