Songfacts®:

  • This introspective two-parter starts off with a sober Drake trying to woo his love interest in a Houston club.

    Halfway through, the beat switches and an alcohol-fueled Drake has now had sex with the girl. The rapper regrets throwing caution to the wind as he feels he's got himself in too deep.
  • Future contributes a verse in the second part, during which he recounts being in a Texas strip club. Drake and Future are good friends and frequent collaborators; they teamed on another Certified Lover Boy track "Way 2 Sexy."
  • Harley Arsenault, Kid Masterpiece and Noah "40" Shebib's production samples Bun B's 2005 track "Get Throwed." The chopped-up guitar sample runs through the entire first part of the song until the beat transition.
