Did You Know?

Interesting facts and trivia about I Get Lonely. By Songfacts®.

This delicate slow-moving track is from Drake's R&B mixtape, It's Never Enough, which was a compilation of his R&B tracks that had been leaked. It was later included on Drake's Care Package collection. The song was produced by Noah "40" Shebib.

Drake told MTV News that in spite of the adoration of women and girls everywhere, he still gets lonely. "I'm envious of friends of mine that have great committed relationships," he explained. "When people call home to check on their girl or they say, 'I'm not going to go out tonight. I'm just going to spend the night with my girl.' That hits me, man. I just don't have that."

Drake sampled "FanMail," the title track of R&B girl group TLC's 1999 album, for this song. He explained to MTV News that he lifted the vibe of the TLC cut to set up the feel of the mixtape. He said: "It's a nod to a phenomenal group. Not a lot of people booked it, but it's like the fan-mail tribute to TLC."
