Deeper

"Deeper" trades on a word Drake and PARTYNEXTDOOR both use frequently, the push toward greater intimacy and the risk that comes with it. The track is widely read as a negotiation about emotional commitment, the recurring tension in OVO songwriting between wanting closeness and fearing what it exposes. The 40 and Boi-1da production stays in the album's after-hours mode, slow and enveloping, letting the vocal carry the persuasion. On $ome $exy $ongs 4 U, where the central subject is modern romance and its complications, "Deeper" reads as one of the project's clearest statements of want: an argument for moving past casual contact toward something that actually costs the singer something.
