Drake Updates Take Care With New Song “Hate Sleeping Alone”

To celebrate the 15th anniversary of his 2011 album Take Care, Drake has dug back in the archives and unearthed a new song from the original sessions, “Hate Sleeping Alone.” Grab a golden chalice, light a candle, and give it a listen below.

Longtime Drake devotees are likely familiar with “Hate Sleeping Alone”—the track has long floated around online via exclusive digital editions, and has been available on Apple Music. The difference is that now, you can listen to it on YouTube and across most other streaming platforms (except Spotify, for reasons unclear).

After a long period of inactivity post-Kendrick beef, Drake dropped a metric ton of music this year. He released three albums in one day in May—Iceman, Habibti, and Maid of Honour—all of which came with accompanying visuals collected as the short film FOMO. Drizzy has also kept busy since, remixing Ella Langley’s monster hit “Choosin’ Texas” with Don Toliver, and linking up with Future, Loe Shimmy, and Travis Scott on last week’s “Ya Hit.”
