“Keep The Family Close” 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. On August 2, 2019, the song was re-released after Drake dropped Care Package on all major streaming platforms - a project he describes as “some of our most important moments together available in one place.” The release came nearly six months after Drake re-released his breakout mixtape So Far Gone.But some of us can’t accept that.
“Can I” initially leaked in 2015, which prompted Drake to share an updated mix of the song on OVO Sound Radio, his show on Apple Music’s Beats 1. The Beyoncé vocals may be sourced from a vocal outtake of “XO,” which also appears on her 2013 self-titled album. “Can I” marks the second collaboration between two titans of the music world, following “Mine” from Beyoncé’s 2013 self-titled album.
However, the song did not end up on the album but was instead officially released on Augas part of the compilation album Care Package. In a swiftly deleted Instagram post on October 12, 2015, Drake expressed his frustration at the leak of “Can I” but stated his plans to finish the song and place it on his then-forthcoming fourth studio album, Views. Can I, baby? Can I, baby? Yeah, can I, baby? Can I, baby? Can I bring you to the six where I really stay, baby? Show you why I am the way I am Can I tell you what I think my biggest flaw is, baby? I try to be consistent, but I can't Can I have an honest moment wit' you right now, baby? Tell me who the fuck you want to be Can I get an honest answer from you right now, baby? 'Cause all we ever talk about is me Can I? Before I turn the lights out 'Fore I turn the lights out, tell me who the fuck you want to be Can I call instead of text you on the hotline? Sometimes a nigga wanna hear your voice Can I see you right now, I know the sun is up, baby? Sorry, I don't really have a choice Can I ever make you feel like I'm down for you, baby? You do so much more than that for me Can I finally take the time and open up to you, baby? 'Cause that's the side you never get to see Can I? Before I turn the lights out one more time 'Fore I turn the lights out, tell me who the fuck you want to be
