What Would Pluto Do

What Would Pluto Do invokes 'Pluto,' a longtime alias of Future, framing him as a kind of philosophical reference point for navigating women, fame, and emotional self-protection. The conceit — posing the title as a guiding question — reads as Drake half-seriously adopting Future's famously detached, indulgent persona as a coping strategy for the romantic disillusionment that runs through For All the Dogs (2023). It functions as both tribute to a frequent collaborator and a thesis statement for the album's hardened stance toward relationships: when intimacy keeps disappointing, the song suggests, the answer is the unbothered remove that 'Pluto' embodies. Sonically it sits in the album's moodier lane. Within the project it crystallizes the recurring tension between Drake's wounded vulnerability and his aspiration toward invulnerability, with Future serving as the model for the latter. As a deep cut it deepens that thematic spine rather than working as a single.
