Verse 1
In the first verse, Drake goes on to rap about his authenticity even though he has made it big in the industry. He says he still stays true to himself and that he might even be dead soon. Drake says that he has been ‘going off’ or being massively successful and this hurts his haters. So his enemies might be trying to take him off the game soon enough.
Drake also raps about Champagne which is a reference to his Instagram handle ‘champagnepapi.’ He also mentions Hennessy as an icon of luxury and serious business.
Drake shouts out to Jennifer Lopez’s hit single “Jenny From The Block” which speaks about who she stays humble even though she is big and successful in the music biz. This is the same thing Drake is trying to rap in the song.
Chorus 2
The second alteration of the chorus of “In My Feelings” shouts out to ‘Resha’ and ‘J.T.’ These two girls aren’t as mysterious as the other two in the first chorus.
J.T. and Yung Miami (AKA Caresha) are a rap duo named ‘City Girls.’ They also sample on the song with Magnolia Shorty.
The outro skit of the song is a real incident captured from Atlanta Season 2, Episode 7: “Champagne Papi.” In the scene, Zazie Beetz attends an NYE party at Drake’s house and says these lines to gain some Insta popularity. However, Drake is out of town and her hopes fail.
“In My Feelings” not only has a catchy beat and a hook, but it also encompasses an entertaining backstory. This makes the song stand out from the rest.
The #InMyFeelings challenge has undoubtedly pushed Drake’s luck to the pinnacle as he reigns the #1 spot on several international charts yet again after “One Dance” and “Nice For What.”
