Drake introduces Certified Lover Boy with this jazzy track where he waxes lyrical about his "champagne poetry."
The song starts off with a sped-up sample of Masego's 2017 song "Navajo," which, in turn, samples The Beatles' Rubber Soul track "Michelle." The sample continues in the background as Drake raps about fatherhood, his OVO empire, label contract negotiations, and his unassailable reign. Halfway through, the beat switches and Drake spits angry bars about worldwide protests and riots, injustice, and the political pressure placed on him to react in a certain way.
"Champagne Poetry" shares some similarities with another Drake opening track: Nothing Was The Same's "Tuscan Leather." Both songs feature sped-up samples. In the instance of "Tuscan Leather" it flips the Whitney Houston Bodyguard tune "I Have Nothing." Both songs incorporate a beat switch.
