Come Thru

"Come Thru" is one of the more relaxed, sensual entries on Nothing Was the Same, a sung invitation to an ex built on a warm, nostalgic production. The song trades the album's heavier introspection for the familiar pull of a past relationship - the late-night text, the comfort of returning to someone known. It is widely read as a lighter, atmospheric deep cut that reinforces the album's R&B leanings and its recurring preoccupation with the women who keep reappearing in Drake's orbit. The arrangement leans on a smooth, slightly retro feel that distinguishes it from the colder textures elsewhere on the record. Fans frequently cite it as an easy standout in the album's back half, valued less for narrative than for mood and replayability.
