One Dance

Featuring Wizkid, Kyla

One Dance is the song that turned Drake from a North American superstar into a globally dominant pop figure. Featuring Nigerian Afrobeats artist Wizkid and UK funky singer Kyla, the track is built on a sample of Kyla's 2008 cult hit Do You Mind?, interpolated into a new arrangement by Nineteen85, Wizkid, and Drake. It moves on hand-drum percussion, sliding bass, and an airy, half-sung Drake vocal that leans more into Caribbean and Afro-diasporic phrasing than anything in his previous catalog. Released as the second single from Views in April 2016, the song spent ten weeks at number one on the Billboard Hot 100, becoming Drake's first solo number-one and one of Spotify's then-most-streamed songs of all time. Critics have widely read the track as Drake fully assimilating the sound of London nightlife and Lagos rhythm into his Toronto pop sensibility — a cultural exchange that drew both celebration and pushback over questions of crediting. The track is also one of the central exhibits in any discussion of Afrobeats' commercial breakthrough in the West.
