IMY2
Featuring Kid Cudi
"IMY2" reads its title as text-message shorthand — 'I miss you too' — signaling a song built around longing and mutual absence. It features Kid Cudi, whose melodic presence suits the nostalgic mode, and the album credits note uncredited additional vocals from the late Juice WRLD, lending the track an added layer of memorial resonance for fans. Production is credited to Harley Arsenault, with Clibbo, Houssam, KanielTheOne, 3ddy and Yume contributing as co- and additional producers. The song is widely read as Drake in a reflective register, looking back on a connection or period now out of reach and conceding the feeling is shared. Rather than resolving the absence, it dwells in it, capturing the familiar Drake position of mourning closeness eroded by success and functioning as one of the project's mood-driven catalog cuts.
