Drake and PARTYNEXTDOOR are set to drop Some Sexy Songs 4 U this Friday, February 14, just in time for Valentine’s Day.
The duo shared the 21-song tracklist on Instagram Thursday (February 13), with the back cover billing the album as “74 personal minutes by PartyNextDoor and Drake.” The project features the much-anticipated “Crying In Chanel” alongside unreleased tracks like “CN Tower,” “$pider-Man $uperman,” “Gimme a Hug,” “Celibacy,” and “When He’s Gone.” A standout track, “Brian Steele,” is named after the attorney who played a key role in securing Young Thug’s release from his high-profile RICO case. Details on production credits and guest appearances are still under wraps.
Drake and PARTYNEXTDOOR’s Album: Legal Drama and Hometown Roots
The details surrounding the album’s release, including the label(s) involved, remain unclear, leaving questions about how it might influence Drake’s ongoing legal dispute with Universal Music Group.
The rapper is suing the company for defamation related to Kendrick Lamar’s diss track “Not Like Us.” Drake is currently under contract with UMG and Republic Records, while PARTYNEXTDOOR’s most recent solo project, PARTYNEXTDOOR 4, was distributed through OVO Sound and Santa Anna. Drake’s OVO Sound, founded in 2012, operates under Sony Music, joining Universal and Warner as industry giants. The tracklist was revealed shortly after the collaborators shared the album cover, depicting them in lavish minks amid a winter landscape—a clear reference to the severe cold of their Ontario hometown.
Towering in the background is Absolute World, the distinctive, twisting residential towers in Mississauga, home to PARTYNEXTDOOR, and only a short drive from Toronto, Drake’s own hometown. While performing in Australia earlier this week on his Anita Max Win Tour, Drake offered further insight into what fans can look forward to from Some Sexy Songs 4 U. He announced to the audience, “It got an album coming out on February 14th with my brother PARTYNEXTDOOR.” “It’s called Some Sexy Songs 4 U, but it’s some turned up songs for you on there, too. And there’s some personal feelings on there for you.” He continued, “So hopefully, whoever you’re with on Valentine’s Day, hopefully y’all can share that experience together.”
This album marks the first collaboration between Drake and PARTYNEXTDOOR, building on their successful partnership with tracks like “Over Here,” “Recognize,” “Loyal,” “With You,” and “Come and See Me.” It also represents the 6 God’s return to a full-length project following his widely scrutinized clash with Kendrick Lamar last year—a dispute many considered a loss for Drake.
