Songfacts®:

  • Drake and 21 Savage open Her Loss with this braggadocios track about their wealthy lifestyle and success.
  • "Rich Flex" starts with 21 Savage and his fellow Atlanta MC Young Nudy telling us about their hedonistic nights out.

    Drake then jumps in, asking his pal to spit some bars on his behalf. He wants Savage to flex about his riches, rap about his ex, and threaten his opps, all of which the Atlantan does in his verse.

    During the interlude, Drizzy addresses all the women who want him. He refers to himself as the Slaughter Gang CEO, a phrase Savage originally used on the chorus of his 2015 track "Red Opps."

    Drake handles the rest of the track with bars about his laid-back attitude to the naysayers who underestimate him.
  • Vinylz, Tay Keith, FNZ, and BoogzDaBeast supplied the menacing production. Keith switches the beat halfway through, transmuting it into a bass-heavy instrumental.
  • While the album marks Drake and Savage's first full-length project, the pair have linked up multiple times over the years, beginning with Savage jumping on Drake's 2016 cut "Sneakin." They have since become good friends; the pair rap about their bromance on another Her Loss cut, "Treacherous Twins."
  • Her Loss topped the UK albums chart, giving Drake his fifth UK #1 album and 21 Savage his first. The Atlanta MC's previous best placing was his 2020 Metro Boomin collaborative project, Savage Mode II, which peaked at #10.
