God's Plan (song)

The song was written alongside Brock Korsan and producers Cardo, Yung Exclusive, Boi-1da, and Noah "40" Shebib.

"God's Plan" received lukewarm to positive reviews from music critics, who praised its catchiness and production but called it a typical Drake song.

An accompanying music video for the song was directed by Karena Evans and uploaded onto Drake's official YouTube channel on February 16, 2018.

[10] "God's Plan" was written by Aubrey Graham, Ronald LaTour, Daveon Jackson, Matthew Samuels, and Noah Shebib and produced by Cardo, Yung Exclusive, and Boi-1da.

[13] "God's Plan", was first teased on January 1, 2018, at a New York New Year's Eve Party, and originally featured American rapper Trippie Redd.

But Richie would sit on a stool, play the guitar, sing and sweat and make more of an effort to perform and put melody and heart and soul into it.

[23] In the end of February "God's Plan" became the second song in the Hot 100's history to achieve more than 100 million weekly streams.

[29] Drake had suddenly charted in what was expected to be a close race between Eminem and Ed Sheeran's "River" and Ramz's "Barking".

"[34] In its second week on the UK Singles Chart, "God's Plan" achieved 60,000 sales with 50,000 coming from streams, retaining its position at number one.
