PARTYNEXTDOOR and Drake released their collaborative album Some Sexy Songs 4 U on February 14, 2025, through OVO Sound, Santa Anna and Republic Records. This some sexy songs 4 u album deep dive tracklist guide revisits 21 tracks and 74 minutes from the two Toronto linked artists.
The album debuted at number one on the Billboard 200 with 246,000 first week album equivalent units, including 287.04 million on demand streams, the largest streaming week for an album in 2025 at that point. It was PARTYNEXTDOOR first number one album and Drake fourteenth, tying the solo artist record held with Jay-Z and Taylor Swift, and it also topped the chart in Canada.
Some Sexy Songs 4 U Album Deep Dive Tracklist: The Shape
The sequence opens with Toronto landmarks and moods: CN Tower, Moth Balls, Something About You and Crying In Chanel set an R and B first frame, with Pimmie, Yebba and Chino Pacas as the credited guests across the album. Spider-Man Superman, Deeper and Small Town Fame keep the focus on the two voices trading verses and hooks, a structure that goes back to their first collaboration, Over Here, on PARTYNEXTDOOR 2013 debut. Gimme A Hug is the solo Drake pivot at the centre, Raining In Houston and Lasers slow the record down again, and Meet Your Padre brings in Chino Pacas.
NOKIA, the album breakout, sits at track 14. Produced by Elkan, it reached number two on the Billboard Hot 100 and number five on the Canadian Hot 100, and its official video, directed by Theo Skudra and shot for IMAX, arrived March 31, 2025. Die Trying, with Yebba, and Somebody Loves Me carry the closing stretch, with Somebody Loves Me later earning a Grammy nomination for Best Melodic Rap Performance.
On behalf of me and Party, we have been working on something for you all. When it gets a little chilly, PARTYNEXTDOOR and Drake album will be waiting right there for you.
Drake said that on stage at Budweiser Stage in Toronto on August 2, 2024, making a surprise appearance at PARTYNEXTDOOR show and announcing the joint album six months early. The rollout matched the promise: a Valentine Day release, a cover showing both artists in fur coats in front of the Absolute World towers in Mississauga, and a joint tour that followed.
Certifications And The Long Run
The album was certified Platinum in the United States within nine months of release, according to Rated R and B reporting on the RIAA awards, with NOKIA reaching double Platinum and six further songs, including Somebody Loves Me, Die Trying, Gimme A Hug and CN Tower, certified Gold. That spread matters: like the best Drake projects, the album produced both a headline single and a deep bench of catalogue tracks. Production across the record came from PARTYNEXTDOOR with Noel Cadastre, Gordo and Jordan Ullman of Majid Jordan among the main contributors, keeping the sound inside the OVO family.

A short film built around Somebody Loves Me, OMW and When Hes Gone followed in October 2025, extending the album visual world well past release season.
How To Listen Now
Treat the album as two listens. First, the singles path: NOKIA, Die Trying, Somebody Loves Me and Gimme A Hug explain the commercial story in 15 minutes. Then the full sequence, front to back, reveals the better record: a slow, Toronto winter R and B album that happens to contain a summer sized hit at track 14. Eight months after release, that balance is why Some Sexy Songs 4 U still reads as the most complete joint statement the OVO pair have made.
The tour that followed, billed as Some Special Shows, carried the album across the UK and Europe in summer 2025, with both artists performing the joint material together rather than splitting the night into solo sets. That staging choice underlined the point the album makes on record: this is a true collaboration with a shared tracklist, not two solo projects stitched together for streaming.
One more tracklist note for searchers: the album credits list 21 tracks running about 74 minutes, opening with CN Tower and closing with Greedy, and the duo described the set on release as 74 personal minutes. Physical editions followed on cassette, CD and vinyl through Complex Shop, giving a streaming first Toronto project an unusually complete collector rollout for its fanbase.
