Seasonal effect: Summer! (It sounded like summer in the city, okay?) But this time, there’s no AC Slater to help pull him out of it. He asks for more time, he’s alluding to having tried his best, and then in the fourth verse, he stops addressing this particular person and admits he’s not in a position to deal with commitment as if doing a Zack Morris time-out and breaking the fourth wall. So this gets a solid, “Oh boy - Drizzy fucked up, and this explains the Sad Drake™ memes.”īut this track is also bummer city in a general sense: dude takes up with someone, he tries and fails to navigate his thoughts and feelings in an authentic way, and he addresses his subject as if they’re having a chat. I mean, hi: Drake and Rihanna were once together, and it obviously didn’t work out, and girlfriend is the definition of an independent woman.
Is it about Rihanna? She might be here, my sweet, sweet treasures. Stand-out lyric: “Why do I settle for women that force me to pick up the pieces? / Why do I want an independent woman to feel like she needs me? / I lost my way” Just '6ix God,' if you’re listening, please don’t let this be about Nicki. (Was it you?) And their choosing of a particular side (read: Meek Mill’s, probably) hurt our dear precious Aubrey who clearly has only a few female friends since he just admitted that things with his exes don’t necessarily end well. No, what this song points to is a friendship failure on par with the plot of a Shakespearean play. Rihanna would never betray Drake because Rihanna is Queen and/or a god. Drake and Rihanna are the type of best friends I believe in my heart Monica and Chandler started out as before confessing their undying love in that one Friends episode. She’s onstage dancing and performing with him.
Considering this is a song about complete and utter betrayal (or just making Drake mad - who can be sure), we know it takes Rihanna out of the mix. Stand-out lyric: “All of my ‘let’s just be friends’ are friends I don’t have anymore / Guess that’s why they say you need family for” Which is how we justified combing through each track on Views and trying to find Rihanna somewhere.

The world of Rihanna, our best friend.īecause while we know they’re not really together and we know they’re just friends and we’ve accepted that they’re total professionals, we still choose to dream of a reality in which Drake and Rihanna channel a Nora Ephron movie and find love in a hopeful place. Some of us need to delve deeper into cultural contexts to use Aubrey’s carefully-written lyrics as a gateway into a world we have no real access to a world we have no real business approaching.
