"Comfortable" is a song by American rapper Lil Wayne, released as the fifth single from his sixth studio album Tha Carter III on September 29, 2008. It features vocals from American singer Babyface, with production by Kanye West. The song samples "You Don't Know My Name" by Alicia Keys and "Player's Ball" by OutKast. The lyrics reference "Irreplaceable" by Beyoncé, and the singer publicly responded that she loved it.
Background
Drew Correa told Rhapsody how Ye sent around twenty beats on a CD, with Babyface's chorus already on it. He added, "Wayne heard ['Comfortable'] and was like, 'Oh my God, I love it.' Kanye left the CD and we recorded in L.A. at the Record Plant. It was done in mid-2006. [Wayne's] a huge Babyface fan. When he got that record he was like, 'I need to do this because Babyface is a legend, and not that many hip-hop artists [are] doing shit with Babyface.' This was the only song he used on Tha Carter III that leaked."
Ne-Yo never knew it was a response to "Irreplaceable," and he called the moment "dope," naming Weezy as one of his favorite rappers of all time.[1]
Music video
The music video was shot in Miami, Florida, with Lil Wayne and Gil Green directing it. It is a continuation of the "A Milli" and "Got Money" music videos.
The video was released on October 31, 2008. The last verse of Mrs. Officer, with Kidd Kidd and Bobby Valentino, is cut off and replaced with the first verse from "Comfortable". Lil Wayne plays the lucky victim, being searched by the female cop (Tammy Torres) an hour after leaving the "A Milli" video shoot. In contrast, Bobby Valentino plays an officer, detaining several women. The "Comfortable" segment of the video is the continuation of "Mrs. Officer" where Lil Wayne and the female officer are living together and for most of the segment argue late in the night on an open street. Cameos were made Birdman, and Young Money Entertainment artist Mack Maine, and Jae Millz.
