• If you exchange iPhone text messages with someone and the messages suddenly change from blue to green, this probably means they've blocked you or changed their number. Drake points to this scenario on the first two verses of this song, where a former flame regrets leaving him for somebody else. She tries to get back in contact, but Drizzy has moved on and is having none of it. By blocking his ex, he throws her rough treatment of him back into her face.
• During the third verse, Drake talks about a letdown in a relationship that's made him more cautious about romance. The fourth verse is a different setup where the Toronto MC wants to get together again with an ex. He finishes in the outro with a vent against a former toxic partner.
  
  In summary, Drake appears to be illustrating some different responses after a relationship ends.
• Drake previously rapped of the iPhone green bubble on his his 2020 track "Chicago Freestyle." In that song, he recounts his unsuccessful attempt to hook up with a couple of girls he knows.
  
  Hit one, she say she got a man
  Hit another one, it goes green
  Must've changed phones on the team
