Glorious

"Glorious" works the celebratory, victory-lap register Drake has used throughout his career, here complicated by the embattled context in which the album landed. Per Wikipedia, the track interpolates Ice Spice's 'In Ha Mood' and contains uncredited vocal samples from a 2023 Ice Spice Zane Lowe interview — a notable detail given Drake and Ice Spice's documented public association. It is produced by Noel Cadastre, DJ Lewis, O Lil Angel, Nasamadeit and Mighty Max rather than 40/Boi-1da. It reads as one of the album's self-affirming statements, projecting resilience. Drake Universe keeps this at the theme level with no lyric reproduction.
