This song finds Drake giving props to an unknown woman who he is constantly thinking about. I want my baby to have your eyes Drake would have rather had a child with this woman than Sophie Brussaux - the mother of his son, Adonis.

Drake and Bella Hadid first raised speculation when they were seen leaving a club together in June 2017. Four months later, the OVO rapper threw the model a 21st birthday adding to internet conjecture that they were in a relationship. Though, neither person has every addressed their supposed fling directly, many believe it is Bella Hadid that Drake is addressing on this song. This is supported by some lines in the first verse, where Drake seems to be talking about New York's spring/summer fashion week, which Hahid took part in during September 2017.
