Drake and PARTYNEXTDOOR are officially kicking off 2025 with a major collaboration. After months of speculation and teasers, the duo has finally confirmed the release date for their highly anticipated joint album, $OME $EXY $ONGS 4 U, set to drop on Valentine’s Day, February 14.
Drake first hinted at the project during a surprise appearance at PARTYNEXTDOOR’s concert in Toronto back in August, sending the hometown crowd into a frenzy. While onstage, he revealed that they were working on something special, describing it as a “classic” in the making. Since then, the pair has been fueling excitement with cryptic social media posts and studio snippets, leaving fans eager for more details.
Although initial rumors suggested the album would arrive before the end of 2024, it never materialized. Now, however, there’s no more guessing. Drake took to social media to share a teaser trailer along with the album’s title and official release date.

“$OME $EXY $ONGS 4 U FEBRUARY 14,” Drake captioned the post. The teaser, drenched in moody aesthetics, features a dimly lit hallway leading to an intimate private room where Drake is seen lounging among a group of women. Despite the lively atmosphere, the rapper appears deep in thought, slightly detached. All the while, PARTYNEXTDOOR’s signature smooth vocals play in the background, setting the tone for what fans can expect from the project.
Furthermore, the collaboration between Drake and PARTYNEXTDOOR has long been anticipated. The OVO Sound labelmates have delivered hits together in the past, including “Come and See Me” and “Recognize,” making this joint effort an exciting full-circle moment. Given their track record of sultry, vibey records, $OME $EXY $ONGS 4 U seems poised to be the perfect Valentine’s Day soundtrack.
With the release just around the corner, fans can only wait to see what the OVO duo has in store. If the teaser is any indication, this project will blend atmospheric production, emotive songwriting, and the undeniable chemistry that Drake and PARTYNEXTDOOR have built over the years.
