Logic spits precisely 44 bars detailing his struggles, pain, and determination to keep working hard for his fans and passion. The track notably samples Barrington Levy’s “The Vibes Is Right.”

According to Logic’s Snapchat story, “44 Bars” was recorded in 3 sessions over the course of 6 months in Los Angeles, Hawaii, and London.

In an interview with Hard Knock TV, Logic broke down the song. He originally planned to call it “2 Shades” or “Celebrate,” but scrapped the name. The second half of the song was recorded during the making of The Incredible True Story and was originally supposed to be similar to Eminem’s “Stan.”
