Way 2 Sexy

Featuring Future, Young Thug

Way 2 Sexy is the moment on Certified Lover Boy where Drake fully commits to camp. The track is built around a re-vocaled sample of Right Said Fred's 1991 novelty hit 'I'm Too Sexy,' looped over trap drums by OZ, Tay Keith, NavJackOnTheBeat, and others. Drake, Future, and Young Thug rotate through verses about being too attractive for various everyday tasks, with deliberately silly lines treated with the same self-serious vocal performance Drake usually reserves for ballads. The lyric is widely read as Drake testing how far his audience will follow him into intentional absurdity. Released as the second single from CLB in September 2021, the song debuted at number one on the Billboard Hot 100, becoming Drake's ninth career chart-topper. The Dave Meyers-directed music video pushed the camp further: Drake appears in multiple bodybuilder personas, in 70s gym pastiche, and in mock-fashion-magazine sequences. Way 2 Sexy is frequently cited as the song that proved Drake's commercial gravity could power a track entirely composed of joke premises into the chart's top spot.
