The wait is almost over. As fans gear up for the highly anticipated joint album $ome $exy $ongs 4 U, Drake and PartyNextDoor have dropped a fresh snippet titled “Crying In Chanel.”
The project, set to release on Valentine’s Day, marks the latest chapter in their decade-long musical partnership.
On Saturday evening, Drake took to social media to share a teaser featuring PartyNextDoor standing in front of a wedding chapel while the snippet plays.
In the track, Drake croons, “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.”
The visual adds to the intrigue: a woman appears to be celebrating an engagement while PartyNextDoor, seated in a Lamborghini, watches on. Moments later, he drives off, leaving her standing confused in front of the chapel.
The clip closes with flashes of different designs for the album’s title, heightening the mystery around the project.
$$$4U continues Drake and PartyNextDoor’s long-running chemistry, which began in 2013 with “Over Here” and evolved through fan-favorite collaborations like “Recognize” and “Loyal.”
The duo first announced the album in August 2024 during PartyNextDoor’s concert at Toronto’s Budweiser Stage, where Drake teased, “When it gets a little chilly, PartyNextDoor and Drake album will be waiting right there for you.”
Since then, excitement has only grown, with leaks and snippets hinting at a smooth, R&B-infused sound.
For Drake, this marks his third major collaborative album, following joint projects with Future (What a Time to Be Alive) and 21 Savage (Her Loss). For PartyNextDoor, it follows his long-awaited return with PartyNextDoor 4 (P4) in 2024, which ended a four-year hiatus.
