Drake Would Love Me

"Drake Would Love Me" is an R&B song recorded by American singer K. Michelle for her second studio album, Anybody Wanna Buy a Heart?

Kimberly Michelle Pate wrote "Drake Would Love Me" with Bianca Atterberry for Anybody Wanna Buy a Heart?, her second studio album.

[5][6][7] According to a 2010 Spin article, Drake had "opened up an enormous young female fanbase" early in his rap career,[5] and Much's Andi Crawford and Brianne James attributed the reason women respond to his music to his "delicate tempos and emotionally charged lyrics".

[12] When the album's track listing was unveiled on November 3, 2014, media outlets identified "Drake Would Love Me" as a point of interest due to its title.

[13] The song debuted via streaming on VH1's website on December 2, 2014,[14] and Atlantic Records released it as a part of Anybody Wanna Buy a Heart?

[18] The piano-driven track opens with a melody that MTV News' Rob Markman characterized as soothing; as it progresses, guitar licks and violins are incorporated into the instrumentation.

[22] Michelle listed Drake's positive attributes, singing he would "always be the same" and "play no games" and would not lie or make her cry; Feeney compared the rhyme scheme for these lyrics to the writing style of Dr.

[23] While The Boston Globe's Ken Capobianco wrote that "Drake Would Love Me" represented the album's "honesty, defiance, and sensuality",[24] Emily Laurence of Metro New York singled it out as an example that "not all the songs are intensely emotion-filled".

[23] Ken Capobianco commended Michelle for emoting a level of "vulnerability and rubbed-raw tension rarely heard in R&B today", which he considered a reason for her popularity.

[28] In Jezebel, Kara Brown also professed being uncomfortable about the track, panning it as the "musical equivalent of trying to stop your friend from sending a third drunk text to that guy she kinda hooked up with a month ago".

[30] Michael Arceneaux, while writing for Complex, said listeners would recognize the song's idealization of Drake as false, and while he praised Michelle's vocals, he described her as sounding too much like a fan.
