Drake and PARTYNEXTDOOR have shared the tracklist for their joint album Some Sexy Songs 4 U ahead of its Valentine’s Day release this Friday (February 14).
The OVO Sound duo unveiled the tracklist on Instagram on Thursday (February 13), revealing 21 tracks which are described on the back cover as “74 personal minutes by PartyNextDoor and Drake.”

The project includes the previously teased “Crying In Chanel,” as well as yet-to-be-heard songs such as “CN Tower,” “$pider-Man $uperman,” “Gimme a Hug,” “Celibacy” and “When He’s Gone.”
There’s also a track called “Brian Steele,” named after the lawyer who represented Young Thug in his high-profile RICO case and successfully negotiated his release from jail.
Production credits and guest features, if there are any, remain hidden for now.
It’s also unclear through which label(s) the album is being released and how it may affect Drake’s bombshell legal battle with Universal Music Group, who he’s suing for defamation over Kendrick Lamar‘s diss song “Not Like Us.”
The 6 God is currently signed to UMG and Republic Records, while PND’s last solo LP, PARTYNEXTDOOR 4, came out through OVO Sound and Santa Anna.

OVO Sound, which Drake launched in 2012, falls under the Sony Music umbrella — one of the big three music conglomerates alongside UMG and Warner Music Group.
The tracklist reveal comes shortly after the longtime collaborators unveiled the album’s cover art, which shows them wearing luxurious minks in snowy weather — a nod to the notoriously harsh winters of their native Ontario.
Looming large behind them is Absolute World, the wobbly-looking residential skyscrapers in Mississauga, where PARTYNEXTDOOR hails from (and which is just a short drive from Drizzy’s home city of Toronto).
During a show in Australia earlier this week as part of his Anita Max Win Tour, Drake shed more light on what fans can expect from Some Sexy Songs 4 U.

“It got an album coming out on February 14th with my brother PARTYNEXTDOOR,” he told the crowd. “It’s called Some Sexy Songs 4 U, but it’s some turned up songs for you on there, too. And there’s some personal feelings on there for you.
“So hopefully, whoever you’re with on Valentine’s Day, hopefully y’all can share that experience together.”

The album is Drake and PARTYNEXTDOOR’s first together and extends a fruitful working relationship that includes songs such as “Over Here,” “Recognize,” “Loyal, “With You” and “Come and See Me.”
It also serves as Drizzy’s first full-length offering since his feud with Kendrick Lamar erupted last year — a battle he was largely deemed to have lost.
