The album is set to drop on Valentine’s Day, and fans eagerly anticipate the duo’s signature mix of smooth R&B melodies and introspective lyrics.
Sneak Peek at “Crying In Chanel”
On Saturday evening, Drake shared a video snippet featuring PartyNextDoor standing in front of a wedding chapel, with the emotional track playing in the background. In the snippet, Drake’s lyrics hint at a complicated love story: “Shorty right here crying in the middle of Chanel. Are those tears of joy? I can’t tell. She say things I do for her I did for someone else. I’m just trying to help make me feel better about myself. Like my love language ain’t felt, damn. I just wanna ride. I just want to catch my vibe.”
The video features a woman seemingly celebrating an engagement while PartyNextDoor watches from a Lamborghini. The driver then drives off, leaving the woman standing in confusion. The visual ends with flashes of the album’s title, adding to the anticipation of its release.

$$$4U continues a decade-long partnership between Drake and PartyNextDoor that began in 2013 with “Over Here.” Since then, they’ve collaborated on hits like “Recognize” and “Loyal”, blending Drake’s versatile flows with PartyNextDoor’s moody production.
The album was first teased in August 2024, when Drake surprised fans at PartyNextDoor’s Toronto concert at the Budweiser Stage. “When it gets a little chilly, PartyNextDoor and Drake album will be waiting right there for you,” Drake told the crowd, hinting at the fall/winter romance theme of the project.
