Drake won’t be spending Valentine’s Day alone. The rapper shared a teaser trailer on Instagram for an upcoming project set for release on Feb. 14, titled $exy $ongs 4 U. The release is expected to be the collaborative album he teased with his OVOmate PartyNextDoor in Toronto last year.
“On behalf of me and Party, we’ve been working on something for y’all,” Drake said in August. “So, you get the summer over with. Do what you need to do. I know all you girls are outside. When it gets a little chilly, PartyNextDoor and Drake album will be right there waiting.”
The $exy $ongs 4 U teaser features PartyNextDoor singing as the camera zooms down a hallway and into a dimly lit back room where Drake is stationed in the corner. He’s joined by three women, one crooning into a microphone while the others engage in a deep conversation.
The upcoming release will mark Drake’s first since sharing the 100 Gigs EP in August 2024. His last studio album, For All the Dogs, arrived in October 2023. Meanwhile, PartyNextDoor debuted his fourth studio album PartyNextDoor 4 this past April. A full-length LP from the pair has been a long time coming. PartyNextDoor was the first artist signed to Drake’s OVO Sound label. Since then, they’ve collaborated on “Come and See Me” and “Loyal,” plus Drake album cuts such as “Wednesday Night Interlude,” “Members Only,” and “With You.”
During an appearance in Toronto in May 2023, Drake introduced PartyNextDoor as his “favorite artist in the world,” according to Billboard. “I don’t mean to put you on the spot or anything. I know you hate this the most,” he said. “I’m so grateful for you. I would not be the artist I am if it wasn’t for you.”
