Greece (song)

"Greece" (stylized in all caps) is a song by American musician DJ Khaled, featuring Canadian rapper Drake.

Critics deemed "Greece" a "luxurious" song, comparing Drake's vocals to fellow Canadian singer the Weeknd.

In August 2019, Swiss record producer OZ released a 40-second video on Instagram, showcasing a new project he had been working on.

This sparked rumors that the producer, who had previously never come into the spotlight as a lyricist, would release the song as his first fully independent music project.

The German lyrics heard in OZ's original release are very similar in meaning and vocal melody to those later used by Drake on the final song.

The announcement was accompanied with a video trailer documenting his life and career, including the birth of his sons, and winning his first Grammy Award.

"[7] OZ previously produced Drake's "Toosie Slide" (2020) and several tracks on his 2020 mixtape, Dark Lane Demo Tapes.

[4] He employs high-pitched vocals throughout the song,[7] and showcases his artistry, switching from singing and rapping from chorus to verse.

[9] Rolling Stone's Charles Holmes said while the song lacks innovation, "there's at least a sense of honed pop craftsmanship on display".

[11] A visualizer was released along with the song, featuring an animated owl with a gold key in its mouth, flying over Greece.
