What does it mean and how do you pronounce it? I assume it means "baby" or "babe" as in a romantic partner, but how do you get bae from that?

it's pronounced "bay"

and it means "baby" or "babe"

it's the root syllable of both. it's a truncation. people stopped saying those 2 and started just saying the first syllable.

I heard somewhere that it stands for "before anyone else" or some shit like that. its annoying as fuck

^ you heard wrong. Had me a ghetto girl back in '01 that called me "bae." doesn't mean anything other than "babe" or "baby" shortened

It does in fact mean "before anyone else"

That "before anyone else" shit is an obvious backronym.
