Drake Somebody Loves Me Pt. 2 Lyrics Meaning & Review (Cash Cobain)
Drake’s latest Iceman drop is “Somebody Loves Me Pt. 2,” a Cash Cobain flip of the February album cut with PARTYNEXTDOOR.
It arrived via his ongoing livestream series on 5 September 2025, alongside in-stream previews of two other songs; only this remix is officially out right now.
It reframes a slow-burn R&B favourite as something springier and more club-leaning without losing the original’s soft-focus ache.
The hook is simple and sticky,“I know there’s somebody who loves me,” and the verses frame that hope against familiar Drake/PND nightlife detail: Miami turn-ups, fragrance-and-weed contrasts, and playful flexes.
In the PARTYNEXTDOOR verse, the everyday hedonism (“We smokin’ broccoli, but she smellin’ Baccarat”) sets the scene, but the heart of the record is the plea for a real counterpart amid the noise.
Drake echoes the setting then pivots into intention, “I need somebody who gon’ meet me at the top,” which reads like a grown-man edit of his earlier “sad boy” era: the love he wants has altitude, not attitude.
The sly button is the spoken outro jab at situationships: “please quit callin’ them lil’ one-week breaks celibacy.”
Read against the year Drake’s had, it’s a counter-programming move.
While early-2025 discourse circled beef and spectacle, this song shrugs that off and sells pure longing.
Even Pitchfork slotted it among summer’s contenders for emotional pull rather than drama bait.
The opening hook (“somebody who really loves me”) plants the emotional home key, while Drake’s mid-verse turn, seeking someone who’ll “meet [him] at the top,” is the song’s spine.
The outro’s “one-week breaks” line gives the track a wry wink, not a sulk.
The original version of “Somebody who loves me” is a plush, mid-tempo R&B glide; think soft pads, airy ad-libs, and a light percussive pocket that leaves headroom for melody.
Credits confirm DJ LEWIS, O Lil Angel, Wondra030 on production, with Noel Cadastre giving it that glassy OVO mix sheen.
While “Somebody who loves me pt 2” featuring Cash Cobain nudges the song toward a breezier, island-leaning bounce, more tempo, more front-foot energy without stripping the tenderness.
It keeps the DNA (hook and feel) and swaps the sway for a light push that plays to Cash Cobain’s current sensibility.
If the original is after-hours velvet, “Pt. 2” is open-window summer.
Instead of one big glossy video, Drake and PND turned “Somebody Loves Me” into a film festival: 19 micro-videos from selected finalists, introduced via Kai Cenat and funded at $15k per creator.
The curation ranges from surreal chase pieces in Miami (Justice Silvera’s short) to dance-led takes and animated love stories, each a different angle on the same yearning hook.
It’s a clever way of making the song feel omnipresent: not one definitive “meaning,” but a chorus anyone can stage.
In the US, the track peaked at #30 on the Hot 100 and stuck around for weeks.
In the UK: #74 on the Official Streaming Chart, while globally, it has surpassed 100M Spotify streams to date.
Critic reactions have been mixed, with Pitchfork flagging “Somebody Loves Me” as a 2025 Song-of-the-Summer contender for its emotional lift.
Financial Times (album review) liked the “lovers-rap” pivot but called the project overlong and forgettable overall (2/5), which frames the song as a standout within a sprawl.
On r/Drizzy, top posts praise it as a top-tier Drake/PND collab and a highlight of the album; others wanted it (and “Nokia”) pushed harder than the discourse tracks.
In broader communities (r/hiphopheads, r/popheads), reactions are split: supporters call it a sleeper hit; skeptics see the album’s R&B wash as too uniform, this track included.
Drake’s Iceman era is drip-feeding music through cinematic livestreams (“What Did I Miss?,” “Which One” with Central Cee) while keeping a foot on his Valentine’s Day collab.
“Pt. 2” bridges those worlds: it’s a now-frame remix of a months-old favourite, rolling straight out of a new Iceman episode.
Together with the 19-video fan campaign, it’s a case study in keeping a song alive across formats and seasons.
For us, “Somebody Loves Me” works because it’s emotionally legible and production-clean, a hook you can sing at 2 a.m. or on a Sunday drive.
“Pt. 2” doesn’t overthink the formula; it just tilts it toward movement.
In a year where headlines tried to drag Drake into endless feud talk, this is the opposite: an uncomplicated want, rendered with just enough gloss to travel.
