“It Ain’t Me, Babe” by Bob Dylan (1964)

As what Bob Dylan’s biographers said, Suze Rotolo, Dylan’s former girlfriend was the inspiration behind the track “It Ain’t Me, Babe”. It appears that he penned the song when he was in Italy in the year 1963 while he was looking for Rotolo, who had been studying there during that time. In addition, Joan Baez, Dylan’s girlfriend, then did the recording of the song, which practically started Dylan’s hugely successful career.
