Drake Ft Dawn Richard - Where Were You

Drake has just revealed his brand new track called "Where Were You". Instead of offering upbeat tempo, the Dawn Richard-assisted song is more of an alluring ballad with clicking beats, expensive-sounding synths and mid-paced tempo. Drizzy sings about a man who still feels desperate even years after breaking up with his girlfriend.

"I have to watch the road, I swear that every car that passes has you in it, I can't believe we're finished, My life is movin' fast, The time will often pass, And something will remind me, I can't put this behind me," so Drake softly croons in the verse.

There's still no word on whether "Where Were You" will appear in Drake's upcoming album or mixtape. The Canadian artist's manager and producer Colin Munroe explains that the track was supposed to be Drizzy's collaboration with him and producers Boi-1da and D10.

The song was initially submitted to be included in Drake's 2010 studio set "Thank Me Later". Since it was eventually not featured in the album, Munroe released his own version of the song titled "Whatever Became of You", which was included in his mixtape "Unsung Hero".




[Verse 1: Drake]
I have to watch the road
I swear that every car that passes has you in it
I can’t believe we’re finished
My life is movin’ fast
The time will often pass
And something will remind me
I can’t put this behind me
I thought you would’ve called by now, by now
You could’ve had my all by now, by now
It’s been too many years for you to disappear
And have me asking the question

[Hook]
I wonder whatever became of you
Although, It’s not that I’m surprised, It’s not I didn’t try
It’s not that I was frightened, of you
Although, I said all goodbyes
And, you had all your cries
I wonder whatever became of you
I wonder whatever became of you
I wonder whatever became of you

[Verse 2: Dawn Richard]
I swear I heard you call
But when I heard you’d gone
I hate that I looked desperate
You gone is like me naked
I’m staring at your (?)
Trying to make it last
Keep looking close behind me
My eyesight on a memory
I thought you would’ve called by now, by now
You could have all my love right now, by now
Gave into my fears
While you just disappeared
That’s why I’m asking this question…

[Hook]
I wonder whatever became of you
Although, It’s not that I’m surprised, It’s not I didn’t try
It’s not that I was frightened, of you
Although, I said all goodbyes
And, you had all your cries
I wonder whatever became of you
I wonder whatever became of you
I wonder whatever became of you

[Verse 3: Drake]
I can’t go to bed
Thinking about my goals
And how we used to say a goal is just a dream with a deadline
Where did the other half of my heart go?
Why am I in bed alone?
How come when I drive by, it looks like you are never home?
Do you even live there?
Or did you take a U-Haul?
Too far, move off and not even tell me that you’re gone?
We were on fire
Somehow that fire cooled off, burnt out
I kept straight, but I wonder how you turned out

[Hook]
I wonder whatever became of you
Although, It’s not that I’m surprised, It’s not I didn’t try
It’s not that I was frightened, of you
Although, I said all goodbyes
And, you had all your cries
I wonder whatever became of you
I wonder whatever became of you
I wonder whatever became of you
