Holding down the fourth spot on the latest Billboard Hot 100 is Drake with the song ‘Nokia,’ the second single from the album Some Sexy Songs 4 U, a collaboration with fellow Canadian rapper PartyNextDoor.
This is the best performing of four singles released from the album so far, having peaked at #2. It’s been two years since Drake had a #1 hit, after having at least one almost every year before that. Being on the losing end of the feud with Kendrick Lamar didn’t do him any favors.
That said, if a #2 hit is a sign of diminished popularity, I think you’re doing ok.
I’m not a fan of most of Drake’s hits — I really struggle to understand his massive success. But I quite like this one. Maybe I’m a PartyNextDoor guy.

[Verse]
The way I feel right now, I feel like we need to be all alone
So if you just playin’ around, you need to tell your girl, “Take your fine ass home,” and that’s real
Stop teasin’ me, yeah, what? Stop teasin’ me
I could change your life so easily
I keep beggin’ you to stay, but you’re leavin’ me
Leavin’ me, we got sticks in the club illegally
Got the whole 6ix side, they believe in me
We got members east of the DVP
We got members west on the 401
We had a lock on the game, but it’s more to come
You gotta pop that ass ’til the morning come
You want shots for the girls? Then order some
[Pre-Chorus]
Who’s callin’ my phone? (Who’s callin’ that?)
Who’s callin’ my phone? (Who’s callin’ that shit?)
Who’s callin’ my phone? (Who’s callin’ that shit?)
Who’s callin’ my phone? (Who’s callin’ that shit?)
Who’s callin’ my phone? (Who? Who?)
Who’s callin’ my phone? (Who? Who?)
Who’s callin’ my phone? (Who? Who?)
Who’s callin’ my— (Ayy)
[Chorus]
Is it Stacy? (Who’s callin’ my phone?)

Was it Dani? (Who’s callin’ my phone?)
Is it PARTY? (Who’s callin’ my phone?)
Where’s the function? (Where the fuck the function?)
Send the addy (Where the fuck the function?)

Meet Me In Montauk 
I like some of Drake’s songs like “God’s Plan” and “Hotline Bling” but am otherwise indifferent. I suppose this song is catchy enough.
Yeah!!! Love to see you becoming a Drizzy fan. I’ve been excited for this one all week! One of the most infectious songs I’ve heard in a while. I love how unserious Drake is in his delivery here. This song is just unabashedly fun and has a real throwback beat (not just with the creative use of the Nokia ringtone) that feels like instantly transports you back to a club in the 2000s!
I love that the song has two distinctly different feels but both make you want to move. Drake can sometimes fall into the trap nowadays of being too moody and dark in his sound, but I must agree with Kendrick when he says he likes Drake with the melodies not when he acts tough! He’s a hitmaker and this song proves that he’s still got it!
