Drake has long made a career out of revisiting his own moods and reframing them through fresh collaborators, and “Somebody Loves Me Pt. 2” fits squarely into that tradition. A remix of the track first teased during the ICEMAN livestream, this new version brings in PARTYNEXTDOOR and Cash Cobain, creating a moody, layered piece that blurs the line between late-night introspection and club-ready swagger.
The production leans toward Cash Cobain’s trademark “sexy drill” style, with a hazy beat built around minimalist percussion and understated bass lines. It’s the kind of backdrop that leaves plenty of space for voices to carry emotion, and each artist approaches it differently. Drake slides in with the effortless melancholy that has defined much of his recent catalog, weaving themes of love, loyalty, and loss with that signature half-sung, half-rapped delivery.
PARTYNEXTDOOR adds a richer R&B texture, his vocals more vulnerable, almost aching, which deepens the track’s emotional pull. His presence also ties the remix back to OVO’s core aesthetic—intimate, nocturnal, a little wounded but still polished. Cobain, on the other hand, injects grit and a streetwise cool that keeps the track from sinking into too much moodiness. His verse snaps the atmosphere into something sharper, grounding the remix in the present-day New York sound.
What makes “Somebody Loves Me Pt. 2” compelling isn’t radical reinvention but the way it layers familiar elements: Drake’s introspection, Partynextdoor’s aching melodies, and Cash Cobain’s raw edge. The result feels both smooth and jagged, equal parts heartbreak soundtrack and late-night flex.
It won’t surprise listeners it’s not built to. Instead, it reinforces the chemistry between Drake and his closest collaborators while folding in a voice that keeps the formula from growing stale. If the original felt like a draft, this remix feels more complete: an OVO midnight confession polished by a streetwise guest verse.
Verdict: A strong, if unsurprising, entry in Drake’s growing catalog of remixes proof that sometimes a small tweak and the right guest can bring a song fully to life.
