Interesting facts and trivia about Worst Behavior. By Songfacts®.

Drake calls out his doubters on this song where he discusses the transition from being a budding actor and rapper, to being a Grammy-winning superstar: "This ain't the son you raised who used to take the Acura at 5 a.m. To go and shoot Degrassi up at Morningside." Degrassi was filmed at Centennial College in the Scarborough part of Toronto, and Drake would often have to get up at 5am to be there for his call time.

Drake tells all those detractors who doubted the young Aubrey Graham would make it on the hook: "On my worst behavior, no? They used to never want to hear us, remember? Muf---a never loved us, remember? Now You want to roll one." Drake is on his worst behavior to all those haters, who love him now that he he is rich and successful.

The song's soundscape was supplied by up-and-coming beatmaster DJ Dahi, with help from YMCMB producer Detail. Dahi was previously best known for his work on "Money Trees" from Kendrick Lamar's good kid, m.A.A.d city album. He didn't get to see Drake lay his verses over his frantic instrumentation or Detail adding the Auto-Tuned ad-libs, but the young producer told MTV News that he was impressed with how it all turned out. "I feel like I got a lucky one because usually you just want to be in the process of the record, but at least I had a great foundation so when Drake had it and Detail did what he did to the joint it kind of just came together," Dahi said. "He was tellin' me that he needed something... that was going to be a different format for him. The process of him making the record was liberating, vindicating in some sense and it's cool to a part of that."
