Sticky

"Sticky" is one of the defining songs of Honestly, Nevermind and a clear single moment on a largely single-averse album, bridging the record's dance production with a more rhythmic, rap-adjacent cadence. Produced by Gordo with Ry X (Ry Cuming) as additional producer, it is the track most listeners could enter the album through without fully committing to the house experiment. The lyrics return to familiar Drake terrain, success, loyalty and the costs of his position, delivered with confident bounce rather than woundedness. Per the liner notes the track contains uncredited dialogue from Virgil Abloh's 2017 'Everything in Quotes' lecture at Columbia GSAPP, threading the album's dedication to the late designer directly into its most accessible song; press at release also noted a Young Thug shout-out and the Abloh tribute. It became a recurring DJ and live selection and the album's signature uptempo moment.
