Slime You Out (feat. SZA)

Drake teams up with SZA on "Slime You Out," a song about how their ex-lovers played them while also revealing their own feelings.

Drake kicks things off. He's frustrated with the dating scene where he meets women who can't connect with him on an emotional level. He observes a pattern where love takes a backseat to women who simply need someone to micromanage their lives and tell them how to think and act. During the first two verses, Drake outlines his disappointment with women who stick around just for the physical and financial perks. He's yearning for a connection that's not just skin deep, something that sparks his emotions and ignites his mind. SZA, never one to bite her tongue, lays out her own grievances in the third verse, calling out her ex for being shady and not measuring up. Drake's extended final verse takes us on a wild ride through a rocky year, with trust issues and letdowns on full display. Toward the end, the Toronto rapper has had enough. He's over it and he's got some regrets.

The repeated phrase "slimin' you out" refers to using someone for physical pleasure without getting emotionally tangled, then breaking up. Both Drake and SZA crave deeper connections, but their partners are bringing nothing but immaturity to the table. Drake's not here for his woman acting like a kid, being all emotional and petty, craving the spotlight. He's ready to "slime you out." But SZA? She's flip-flopped. She's the one feeling like she got played by her man, so she's taking matters into her own hands and sliming him out.
