"Baby I'm Yours" is a song by the French DJ and record producer Breakbot from his 2010 debut album By Your Side . In 2018, the song became an internet meme, where it was mashed up with a speech given by Paul Bremer announcing the capture of Saddam Husein where Bremer announces to the people in the audience "Ladies and gentlemen, we got him" to the line of the song "But I was led astray/The day you walked away/You were the clock/That was ticking in my heart/Changed my state of mind/When love's so hard to find".
