Away from Home
Away from Home is track 22 of For All the Dogs (2023), produced per Wikipedia's credits by Lil Yachty, Bnyx, Justin Raisen, SadPony and Lukas. It frames the recurring cost of Drake's life — perpetual touring, travel and physical distance — as the song's emotional core, the title reading literally and figuratively as both a logistical fact of fame and a metaphor for rootlessness and disconnection. Drake's register is reflective and somewhat weary, treating mobility and global success as a form of exile as much as triumph. Within the album it extends the recurring meditation on isolation — that the very career that produced his wealth also separated him from grounding — and works as thematic connective tissue rather than a radio-built single.
