Album Notes & Community Reviews

Featuring a guest verse from Drake and prominent use of Jamaican Patois, this highly infectious track fully embraced the singer's Caribbean roots. Produced by Boi-1da, the instrumental utilizes a skeletal, heavily syncopated dancehall rhythm over an interpolation of the 'Sail Away' riddim. Despite initial critical polarization regarding its highly repetitive chorus, it became a colossal commercial success and heavily popularized dancehall-pop fusions in the late 2010s.
