Plastic Bag

'Plastic Bag' is a deep cut on What a Time to Be Alive, the Drake and Future joint tape, produced by Metro Boomin. The song is widely read as a nightlife and excess record, with the title's plastic bag serving as an image of money, the kind of bag used to carry or rain cash at a club. The track centers on a strip-club-adjacent setting and the spectacle of spending, a recurring motif across the project. Future's melodic, drawled delivery shapes the song's feel, with Drake conforming to the tape's harder, hedonistic register. It functions as an atmospheric piece reinforcing the collaboration's celebratory, money-and-nightlife mood.
