“Fuck your coworker, she a hatin’-ass ho / Met you for lunch just to let that bitch know / You got somebody that love you back home.” It is a bold and interesting way to start “Something About You”, that’s for sure 👀. It doesn’t take long for those fucks, hos, and bitches to arrive. Drake sets the tone of the song, a collaboration with fellow Canadian musician PARTYNEXTDOOR.  Drizzy is true to himself throughout, serving up a compelling rhythmic cadence and flow. “Same bitches hatin’ gon’ be at the show,” he asserts, “‘Specially when I got like eight in a row.” Hmm, is he still talking about his bitches or could he be dissing a certain rapper whom he took a substantial L to? After asking her to vent to him, Drake asserts, “… we should get intimate, baby / I’m tryna do somethin’ explicit.” Shocker 😏. Backtracking, how about some deets? “Something About You” is the third track from PND and Drake’s lengthy (nearing 75 minutes long) collaborative album, $ome $exy $ongs 4U, released in 2025. Drake, PND, and BEAM wrote this intriguing sex song.  Seven producers (!) produced it: Kiyoshi, Livewire, London Cyr, nyan, Reemz, and Vawn.

It is a vibe from the start. Not only is the rapping and singing true to Drake and later PARTYNEXTDOOR, but the sound palette is true to both, too. After his verse, Drake delivers the chorus, emphasizing the song’s title (“Some-somethin’ about you / Somethin’ about”).  An interlude follows, gassing up, you guessed it, PARTYNEXTDOOR.  He is the head honcho in the second verse.  Fittingly, the music gets a ‘change of pace’ while still maintaining its enigmatic vibe. PND sings and raps on his sexually charged verse. “I bulletproofed that Escalade (Yeah, yeah, yeah) / I might waterproof the seats for some pussy play (Hah),” he asserts, continuing, “Don’t care where that pussy play, shit / NFL, NHL, NBA / I ain’t ‘bout to make you sign no NDA.” Damn! It gets rawer: “Sit on the dick, yeah / Sit on the dick, hit this lick, get rich quick, yeah / Slob me down, I know you want revenge.” The latter lyric is sexual but also references more.  At the end of his verse, PND also references the title of the collaborative album, $ome $exy $ongs 4U: “All of these songs are for you / Sexy songs for you.” “Something About You” closes with PND’s profession of love.  A duet with few interactions between Drake and PARTYNEXTDOOR, it is dazzling nonetheless as both artists talk their sugar, honey, and iced tea.
