Blue Green Red

In a move that seemed to come out of nowhere and sent fans into a collective frenzy, Drake dropped on August 6, 2024 a colossal 100GB trove of unreleased music, videos, and photos. Nestled within this digital treasure chest were three brand-new tracks, including this slow club number.

"Blue Green Red" is a twitchy dance track where Drake flits between introspective musings and bursts of swaggering bravado. He touches on sobriety and the toll that strained relationships can take, offering listeners a peek behind the curtain of his typically self-assured persona. But of course, it wouldn't be a Drake track without a healthy dose of his trademark confidence. Amid the introspection, he still finds time to flex about his wealth, success, and unassailable dominance in the music world.

The song's title, "Blue Green Red," comes from the refrain, which encapsulates the entire vibe: Gotta lay down when you make bed Gotta let some tears just shed Since we blew up and got green I gotta leave some of y'all on read Here, Drake plays with the colors as metaphors for his life. "Green," naturally, stands for money and success, while "blue" suggests the emotional cost of cutting people off. "Leaving them on read," that quintessential modern brush-off, is Drake's way of saying that if you cross him, you're done - no further communication needed.
