In My Feelings
In My Feelings is the song that proved the streaming-and-meme era could move a non-single album track to the top of the Billboard Hot 100. Produced by TrapMoneyBenny and BlaqNmilD with additional production from Noah '40' Shebib, the bounce track samples Magnolia Shorty's 'Smoking Gun,' the Show Boys' 'Drag Rap (Triggerman),' and Lil Wayne's 'Lollipop,' and ends with audio from FX's Atlanta; City Girls provide additional vocals, uncredited on the original release. The lyric, widely read as Drake stacking the names of multiple romantic interests into a checklist of unanswered text threads, made it a perfect dance-challenge format. Comedian Shiggy's June 2018 Instagram clip spawned the 'In My Feelings'/'Kiki' challenge, which spread globally and prompted formal warnings from the NTSB and overseas authorities after dangerous moving-car variants. It debuted at number six on the Hot 100 — one of Drake's record four simultaneous top-10 debuts — then rose to number one for ten weeks, breaking the single-week US streaming record (116.2 million).
