"Dot really made him go back to the melodies" — Internet reacts as Drake teases new songs for Valentine's Day 

Longtime collaborators Drake, aka Drizzy, and PartyNextDoor are releasing a new album next week, $ome $exy $ongs 4 U. The duo released the teaser for their music drop on February 3, 2025, leaving fans in a frenzy. This release comes after Drizzy’s rival, Kendrick Lamar, won multiple Grammy Awards for his Drizzy-diss track Not Like Us.

While gearing up for his Anita Max Wynn Tour, Drake and PartyNextDoor released the album’s trailer. The clip that was posted on Instagram featured a moody PartyNextDoor snippet from the album. The trailer also featured a clip of Drizzy appearing to be in a trance in what seemed to be the corner of a karaoke bar. The singer was surrounded by chatty women who did not pay attention to him.

Variety reported that the duo had been teasing the album since August 2024. While appearing at a PartyNextDoor concert last year, Drizzy said:

“I know all you girls are outside, and when it gets a little chilly, PartyNextDoor and Drake album will be right there for you.”

In January, Drizzy appeared on Adin Ross’ livestream and told followers that the album was to be released in November; however, it got delayed.

Netizens have since taken to the internet to react to the same, with one person commenting:

“Lmao dot really made him go back to the melodies.”
