I'm Looking Through You Lyrics

I'm Looking Through You,
Where did you go?
I thought I knew you,
What did I know?
You don't look different, but you have changed.
I'm looking through you, you're not the same.

Your lips are moving,
I cannot hear.
Your voice is soothing,
But the words aren't clear.
You don't sound different,
I've learned the game.
I'm looking through you,
You're not the same.

Why, tell me why, did you not treat me right?
Love has a nasty habit of disappearing overnight.

You're thinking of me,
The same old way.
You were above me,
But not today.
The only difference is you're down there.
I'm looking through you,
Any other way.

Why, tell me why did you not treat me right?
Love has a nasty habit of disappearing overnight.

I'm looking through you,
Where did you go?
I thought I knew you,
What did I know?
You don't look different,
But you have changed.
I'm looking through you,
You're not the same!

I'm Looking Through You Song Chart

Paul McCartney wrote this when his girlfriend, an actress named Jane Asher, left on a theater tour instead of staying home like he had hoped she would.

Another Rubber Soul track, "You Won't See Me," is also about Asher. Despite McCartney's musical barbs, she has steadfastly refused to speak about Paul.

On the US stereo version, there are two false guitar intros. This version was released on Capitol Records.

Ringo played the Hammond organ on this track.

The version on the album is a second version the Beatles recorded. The one that appears on Anthology 2 was originally going to be the one put on Rubber Soul until a decision was made to do a remake. (thanks, Adrian - Wilmington, DE)

Back in the Beatles' early days, working at Abbey Road was expensive so rather than recording the song again, any small mistakes were frequently ignored. This explains why at around 1:20 on this track, if you listen carefully you can hear Paul McCartney dropping his tambourine.

The Muppets performed this on an early episode of The Muppet Show. The Halloween skit featured slightly transparent Muppet ghosts.

House On Fire Lyrics

We could be legends for years to come
They could talk about us like we're the ones
We can be untouchable while we're young
And (We can) laugh about it when we're dead and done
You and me it's automatic
You and me
Could say we had it all

We can burn
Hotter than a House On Fire
C'mon lemme see your fighter
Heaven help me light the flame
We can burn (burn burn)
Faster than the world can turn
Until we fade away

They can try to take us we won't go
We could be the kings and queens of hope
When everything is bought and sold
In the end, we're the only thing that's gold
You and me
We're not so tragic
You and me
Could say we had it all
Just to say we had it all

We can burn
Hotter than a house on fire
C'mon lemme see your fighter
Heaven help me light the flame
We can burn (burn burn)
Faster than the world can turn
Until we fade away

House On Fire Song Chart

This high-powered anthem is the lead single from Ryan Cabrera's Wake Up Beautiful EP. The singer detailed the creation process of the free-wheeling video: "We wanted to tell the story of the song, which is just something that gives you inspiration in a time when you don't feel that inspired," he explained. "Obviously, I didn't get fired in my life, but it was more talking about a time when you're feeling just nothing is going right. It's very easy to get down and feel sorry for yourself. Then, all of a sudden something inspires you."

"In the video, [I wanted to show] the experience of just going out and the randomness of meeting people - on a fisherman's tour, running into people by yourself, doing something that's outside of the box and all of a sudden feeling alive again," Cabrera continued. "Then, [I'm] running into the girl in the diner and have this awesome time on the beach. That was the spirit of the video. I think a lot of people forget to do things differently, to challenge yourself and do something you're afraid to do or don't do everyday."

The video stars Saved by the Bell's Dennis Haskins. "I always put friends in every video that I've had," Cabrera told Pop Dust . "For this one, I knew I need a mom and a dad. So I called a couple of people who I thought would be fun and fans would love to see. he was so stoked. He loved being on set; we had a great time."

"[Dennis and I] are old karaoke buddies," he added. "I used to do a lot of karaoke back in the day. We met at a karaoke bar and then become really good friends after that."

What Goes On Lyrics

What Goes On in your heart?
What goes on in your mind?
You are tearing me apart
When you treat me so unkind
What goes on in your mind

The other day I saw you
As I walked along the road
But when I saw him with you
I could feel my future fold
It's so easy for a girl like you to lie
Tell me why

What goes on in your heart?
What goes on in your mind?
You are tearing me apart
When you treat me so unkind
What goes on in your mind

I met you in the morning
waiting for the tides of time
But now the tide is turning
I can see that I was blind
It's so easy for a girl like you to lie
Tell me why
What goes on in your heart?

I used to think of no on else
But you were just the same
You didn't even think of me
As someone with a name
Did you mean to break my heart and watch me die
Tell me why

What goes on in your heart?
What goes on in your mind?
You are tearing me apart
When you treat me so unkind
What goes on in your mind
In your mind
In your mind

What Goes On Song Chart

Left off the US version of Rubber Soul, this was released as the B-side to "Nowhere Man" in America. The song dates back to 1957, when the group was known as The Quarrymen. The Quarrymen were a Skiffle group, Skiffle being a king of music reminiscent of Country & Western with roots in Jazz, involving banjos and various improvised instruments such as a washboard and a washtub. John Lennon was tremendously influenced by Lonnie Donegan, and The Quarrymen in fact covered several Donegan songs. (thanks, Bertrand - Paris, France)

Ringo helped Lennon and McCartney write this and received his first songwriting credit for it - the composition credit on most Beatles songs is Lennon/McCartney, but this is credited to Lennon/McCartney/Starkey. Ringo also sang lead.

Incidentally, this song being partially credited to "Starkey" is a good time to point out that Ringo Starr's actual name is "Richard Starkey," a fact even some Beatles fans seem to be in the dark about.

What was Ringo's comment on having received his first song-writing credit? At a 1966 press conference for the album, Ringo jested in his typical self-deprecating style that he'd written "About five words, and I haven't done a thing since!"

John Lennon can be heard answering Ringo's vocal "Tell me why," with "I already told you why," A reference to their earlier song "Tell Me Why."

"What Goes On" is considered a follow-up to "Please Please Me." Both songs have lyrics revolving around pining for a lover who doesn't love them back, and asking why it has to be that way.

Where's Your Car Debbie? Song Chart

The Tunbridge Wells garage rock duo Slaves comprise drummer Isaac Holman and guitarist Laurie Vincent. The pair share the vocals. This song, their debut single was released through Fonthill Records. It finds the band lost in local woods, trying to find their friend Debbie's car, scared that they're going to get attacked by Bigfoot.

The story, Holman insisted to the Kent Courier, is real – as is friend-of-a-friend Debbie. "We had agreed to walk Debbie back to her car and the song is about being very, very scared of bumping into Bigfoot," he explained.

Apparently, Slaves aren't speaking to Debbie any more. "She really let us down when we were filming the video," Holman explained to NME. "She was going to play Debbie but she just didn't turn up."

The Word Lyrics

Say The Word and you'll be free
Say the word and be like me
Say the word I'm thinking of
Have you heard the word is love?
It's so fine, It's sunshine
It's the word, love
In the beginning I misunderstood
But now I've got it, the word is good

Spread the word and you'll be free
Spread the word and be like be
Spread the work I'm thinking of
Have you heard the word is love?
It's so fine, It's sunshine
It's the word, love
Every where I go I hear it said
In the good and bad books that I have read

Give the word a chance to say
That the word is just the way
It's the word I'm thinking of
And the only word is love
It's so fine, It's sunshine
It's the word, love
Now that I know what I feel must be right
I'm here to show everybody the light

Say the word and you'll be free
Say the word and be like me
Say the word I'm thinking of
Have you heard the word is love?
It's so fine, It's sunshine
It's the word, love

The Word Song Chart

This is another brilliant musical innovation from the Rubber Soul album, the first point at which The Beatles shrugged off the "mop tops" image and went for bolder artistic horizons. "The Word" sounds almost like evangelizing; as opposed to a standard boy-girl love song, the lyrics here embrace love as more of a concept, the way the Flower Power movement was thinking about it.

The lyrics of "The Word" also mark an important point at which The Beatles began to realize that they were, in fact, spokespeople for a new generation. Their songs started packing a stronger message, bridging their way to the future when John and George would make their lyrics more political.

Lead vocals on this song were shared by John Lennon, Paul McCartney and George Harrison. Beatles producer George Martin played the harmonium, an organ-like keyboard instrument.

Yoko Ono gave the sheet music of this song as a gift to the composer John Cage, who later published it in his book Notations. Ono studied under Cage, even sharing the occasional stage with him, before she met John Lennon.

Out of all the zillions of times that music fans claim that something was composed on drugs, this is one of the rare times when a performer actually states that they did drugs while creating it. Paul McCartney reported in interviews that they'd blazed some reefer before setting down to do the lyrics, and reports that far from enhancing their ability, it actually got in the way.

In 2002, Joan Jett covered this for the album, It's All About Eve (Music For The Cure), a charity compilation to support breast cancer research. It was produced by Rob Stevens, who had worked with John Lennon.

Rubber Soul is often cited as the first album issued without the artist's name on its cover, but that honor really goes to Elvis Presley for his 1959 album For LP Fans Only. (thanks, Bertrand - Paris, France)

A concept record of sorts, Queen of The Clouds is split into the three stages of how things usually go for Tove Lo in a relationship: "The Sex," "The Love" and "The Pain." She explained that this song is about two people trying to get over their problems by having lots and lots of sex.

The video was directed by Andreas Weman and Johan Lydén. The clip finds Tove Lo searching for her bad-boy love, who is wanted by the cops. She described it as a "sexy, tacky, dirty Dogville-inspired piece."

He's a real Nowhere Man
Sitting in his nowhere land
Making all his nowhere plans for nobody

Doesn't have a point of view
Knows not where he's going to
Isn't he a bit like you and me?
Nowhere man please listen
You don't know what you're missing
Nowhere man, The world is at your command

He's as blind as he can be
Just sees what he wants to see
Nowhere man, can you see me at all
Nowhere man don't worry
Take your time, don't hurry
Leave it all till somebody else
Lends you a hand
Ah, la, la, la, la

Doesn't have a point of view
Knows not where he's going to
Isn't he a bit like you and me?
Nowhere man please listen
You don't know what you're missing
Nowhere man, The world is at your command
Ah, la, la, la, la

He's a real nowhere man
Sitting in his nowhere land
Making all his nowhere plans for nobody

Nowhere Man Song Chart

John Lennon came up with this after struggling to write a song for the album. Said Lennon: "I thought of myself sitting there, doing nothing and getting nowhere."

This was used in the animated Beatles movie Yellow Submarine. They sing it to Jeremy Hillary Boob, PhD, who describes himself as an "eminent physicist, polyglot classicist, prize-winning botanist, hard-biting satirist, talented pianist, good dentist too." The Beatles decide to take him Somewhere, and he eventually helps them to defeat the Blue Meanies. (thanks, Bertrand - Paris, France)

This starts with a 3 part harmony sung by Lennon, Harrison, and McCartney.

This is probably the first Beatles song that has nothing to do with love.

Typical of many John Lennon compositions are the "falling" melodies, which can be heard in "Nowhere Man." Folk music often has falling melodies, indicating melancholy. In Baroque music, a falling melody means sadness. (thanks to Johan Cavalli, who is a music historian in Stockholm)

There is a very audible feedback 38 seconds into the song after the word "missin'."

Natalie Merchant performed this at the 2001 special, Come Together: A Night For John Lennon's Words And Music. She did a mellow version, as the show was also a tribute to victims of the terrorist attacks on America.

In a 1971 interview with Rolling Stone, Lennon recalled the background to this song: "I remember I was just going through this paranoia trying to write something and nothing would come out so I just lay down and tried to not write and then this came out, the whole thing came out in one gulp."

In 2003, John Lennon's original handwritten lyrics to this song were auctioned at Christie's of New York for $455,500. (thanks, Bertrand - Paris, France)

One Man Can Change the World Lyrics

They used to tell me
I hope you learn to make it on your own
And if you love yourself just know you'll never be alone
I hope that you get everything you want and that you chose
I hope that it's the realest thing that you ever know
Hope you get the pretty girls, that's pretty and everything
Million dollar cribs havin' million dollar dreams
And when you get it all just remember one thing
Remember one thing
That one man could change the world

All I, all I wanted was a hundred million dollars and a bad chick
Imagine this so much some nights it felt like that I had it
Back on the mattress
Starin' at the ceilin' tryna to connect the dots
But its hard makin' those attachments
I'm talkin' dreamin' so hard, some nights it felt like draft day
You know? My - my step brother used to flip them bags outside the crib like it was trash day
No Kim K, but he bagged yay (Ye)
But when you're getting fast money, slow down, don't crash
With all the drive in the world, swear you still need gas
Look, think about it, close your eyes, dream about it
Tell your team about it, go make million dollar schemes about it
Success is on the way, I feel it in the distance
Used to look up at the stars and be like ain't too much that's different
I be shinin', they be shinin', get your one shot don't you miss it
What you know bout' wakin' up everyday like you on a mission?

I hope you learn to make it on your own
And if you love yourself just know you'll never be alone
I hope that you get everything you want and that you chose
I hope that it's the realest thing that you ever know
Hope you get the pretty girls, that's pretty and everything
Million dollar cribs havin' million dollar dreams
And when you get it all just remember one thing
Remember one thing
That one man could change the world

My grandma told me if you write your name in stone you'll never get the white out
I grinded out that black hole then performed up at the white house
Standin' next to Jim Carrey, we traded stories then laughed
I said you not the only one I know got rich wearin' masks
Where I'm from I swear they broke, they need way more than the cast
We need more than what you have
And then we need more than that
But how am I supposed to say I'm tired
If that girl from West Virginia came up in conditions that I couldn't survive
Went to war, came back alive
On top of that became a female black captain
When being black you had to extra extra try
Way before James Brown made us proud
She bought a crib on the same street as Marvin Gaye
Right there on Outer Drive, and she taught me how to drive
And she raised the kids, then the kids' kids, and she did it right
Taught me how to love, taught me not to cry
When I die, I hope you teach me how to fly
All my life you've been that angel in disguise saying

I hope you learn to make it on your own
And if you love yourself just know you'll never be alone
I hope that you get everything you want and that you chose
I hope that it's the realest thing that you ever know
Hope you get the pretty girls, that's pretty and everything
Million dollar cribs havin' million dollar dreams
And when you get it all just remember one thing
Remember one thing
That one man could change the world

One Man Can Change the World Song Chart

This soulful ballad testifies to the endless potential one person has for changing the world. Sean invites Kanye West and John Legend along for the rise, with each taking a turn at crooning the hook. "I just lost my grandma," he told MTV News. "So, right before she passed, I wrote this song. A major part of the song is about her. She never got a chance to hear it. It's just an emotional thing."

"It's just a song that comes straight 100 percent from the heart," Sean continued. "I hope people can enjoy it. And I really appreciate John Legend and Kanye West being a part of that."

Sean reflects here on the positive influences in his life, in particular his late grandmother. (She suffered a debilitating stroke and passed away in December 2014). The rapper includes a clip of a recorded phone conversation between the pair at the end of the song. "In a selfish way, it was hard to say goodbye," he told Billboard magazine, "but when I stepped back, I was happy she was free of the wheelchair and didn't have to go through that."

Big Sean's late grandmother, Mildred V. Leonard, was one of the first female black captains in World War II and a pillar in her Detroit community. Sean said: "I hope my grandma is looking down smiling on me right now. Because the struggles she went through to become a female black captain in WW2, one of the first black officers in Detroit, a teacher/counselor, an amazing mom/grandma were too great for this song not to be a single. I'm sure you can relate if you ever had somebody like that who changed your world."

Sean consciously chose not to swear on this specific track. He tweeted: "Know it's hard to imagine me not cursing on a song/single... (Cues up IDFWY, etc lol). But honestly I'm proud to have a song so heartfelt."

This won for Best Video with a Social Message at the 2015 MTV Video Music Awards, the first VMA for either Sean or Legend. Accepting the award, Sean dedicated it to his late grandmother, saying, "If one person has shown me that one man - meaning male or female - could change the world, it's her."

The video was directed by Andy Hines, who also did Big Sean's "Dark Sky (Skyscrapers)" clip.

Drive My Car Song Chart

Laden with sexual innuendo, this song is about a guy who meets an aspiring actress, who tells him he can "drive my car," as she has a keen interest in him, and might even be in love.

She keeps trying to lure him in ("I can show you a better time"), but when he finally agrees to take the job, she admits that she doesn't have a car, but still wants him to be her driver. It's pretty clear that all this driving talk is leading to sex, but there's no proof that it isn't just a song about a guy, a girl, and a car - making it another radio-friendly Beatles track.

By this time, John Lennon and Paul McCartney were writing more songs separately, but this one was an equal collaboration, with Lennon writing most of the lyrics and McCartney coming up with the melody.

Originally, it was a very different song lyrically, with the chorus, "I can give you golden rings, I can give you anything, baby, I love you." Knowing that storyline would lead them nowhere good, they hashed it out until they came up with "Drive My Car" for the title, and changed the song so it was the woman soliciting the man.

Paul McCartney played bass, piano and lead guitar on this one; George Harrison played guitar and did backing vocals. John Lennon sang lead with McCartney and also played tambourine.

The "beep beep" refrain is a take-off on The Beatles own "yeah, yeah yeah"s in "She Loves You" as well as a nod to The Playmates song "Beep Beep" (a #4 US novelty hit in 1958).

Paul McCartney played this at halftime of the 2005 Super Bowl. The year before, Janet Jackson exposed a breast on live TV, which caused a great deal of controversy. McCartney was a solid choice because he was unlikely to offend anyone.

At the 2005 Live 8 Concert in London, McCartney performed this in a duet with George Michael.

The title of the album comes from "plastic soul," a derogatory phrase McCartney had overheard black musicians using about Mick Jagger. ("Plastic" in those days meant anything fake or processed.) Paul can be heard using the phrase in studio chatter on June 14, 1965, during recording of the "Help!" B-side "I'm Down." Reliably, he put his own spin on the phrase.

The vacuum created by the arrival of freedom
And the possibilities it seems to offer
It's got nothing to do with you, if one can grasp it
It's got nothing to do with you, if one can grasp it

A series of shocks - sneakers fall apart
Earth keeps on rolling - witnesses falling
It's got nothing to do with you, if one can grasp it
It's got nothing to do with you, if one can grasp it

Yeah, yeah, yeah - Up the Hill Backwards
It'll be alright ooo-ooo

While we sleep they go to work
We're legally crippled it's the death of love
It's got nothing to do with you, if one can grasp it
It's got nothing to do with you, if one can grasp it

Yeah, yeah, yeah - up the hill backwards

Up the Hill Backwards Song Chart

The fourth and final single from David Bowie's Scary Monsters album, this features Robert Fripp on lead guitar. The King Crimson axeman recalled to Mojo in 2015: "Bowie had the intelligence to let me get up and fly. On 'Up The Hill Backwards,' his words were referring to Marcel Duchamp, and I interpreted that in my playing."

Marcel Duchamp (1887 – 1968) was a French artist whose work is most often associated with the Dadaist and Surrealist movements. He first achieved fame not in his native country, but in the US, where his painting Nude Descending a Staircase, exhibited at the 1913 Armory Show in New York was the rage of the exhibition.

A playful man, Duchamp challenged conventional thought about artistic processes through subversive actions such as putting everyday items like a bicycle wheel mounted on a kitchen stool on display. Half a century later, this approach would be called conceptual art, though he himself used the term 'ready-mades' for his ideas.

Duchamp ostensibly giving up art in the early twenties, devoting himself to chess, which he studied for the rest of his life to the exclusion of most other activities.

John Lennon's lyrics were his first overt reference to LSD in a Beatles song. The song can be seen as Lennon teasing Paul McCartney about not taking acid.

In 2004, Paul McCartney did an interview with the Daily Mirror newspaper where he explained that drugs influenced many of The Beatles' songs. He singled this one out as being about acid (LSD), but also said that people often overestimate the influence of drugs on their music.

The line "She's a big teaser" was written as "She's a prick teaser," but the group new that wouldn't fly.

Lennon: "Day Trippers are people who go on a day trip, right? Usually on a ferryboat or something. But the song was kind of - you're just a weekend hippie. Get it?"

A short promotional film of The Beatles lip-synching to this song was made for the TV special The Music Of Lennon and McCartney, which first aired December 17, 1965 in the UK. It was one of the first music videos. (thanks, Bertrand - Paris, France, for above 2)

Lennon wrote this after their record company demanded a new single. The Beatles were not that happy with the way this song turned out because they had been forced to come up with a new single. (thanks, Adrian - Wilmington, DE)

Jimi Hendrix sometimes covered this at his concerts.

This was released as a double-A-sided single with "We Can Work It Out." It went to the #1 position in the UK but only went to #5 in the US. In fact, "We Can Work It Out" got more airplay in the US. In America, the single was released on the same day as the Rubber Soul album, although neither song was on that album. The Beatles were popular enough to support the output.

James Taylor did a cover version on his album Flag. (thanks, Jake - New Rochelle, NY)

With a packed schedule and feverish demand for TV appearances, The Beatles made music videos for five on their songs, including this one, at a one-day shoot at Twickenham Film Studios in London on November 23, 1965. They did three different versions of "Day Tripper," lip-synching the song while having fun with the set pieces.

Used To Lyrics

Yeah, when you get to where I'm at
You gotta remind 'em where the fuck you at
Every time they talkin' it's behind your back
Gotta learn to line 'em up and then attack
They gon' say your name on them airwaves
They gon' hit you up right after like it's only rap
Jewels look like I found a motherfuckin' treasure map
And ain't told no one where the fuck it's at
Shout out to the G's from the ends
We don't love no girls from the ends
I'm gon hit 'em with the wham once again
I'mma always end up as a man in the end, dog
It's just apparent every year
Only see the truth when I'm staring in the mirror
Lookin' at myself like, there it is there
Yeah, like there it is there man, hoo
I ain't tryna chance it
I be with the bands like a nigga went to Jackson State
Or Grambling
Young Nick Cannon with the snare drum, dancin'
Watch the way I handle it, uh
Bring it to the bedroom, you know that shit is candle lit
She know I'm the man with it, uh
With the bands like I must've went to Clark, went to Hampton
I ain't playin' with it

I ain't felt the pressure in a little while
It's gonna take some getting Used To
Floatin' all through the city with the windows down
Puttin' on like I used to
They never told me when you get the crown
It's gon' take some getting used to
New friends all in their old feelings now
They don't love you like they used to man

Way more gully gully than buddy buddy
Never needed your acceptance, never needed nothin'
You don't understand, I'm the only one to hear from
You don't understand that it's me or nothin'
Yea, I'm fuckin' glowin' up
Shaq postin' up on niggas that I used to have posters of
Real quick man, you couldn't have hated that
Let's be real nigga, you couldn't have made it that
Wooh, dance our dance, watch me dance
You're fuckin' with the best man, I'm too advanced
After this drop I got new demands
Can't meet the terms, keep it movin' then
Make sure the plane got a phone now
So when we bout to land I can call to tell the wolves I'm home now
I'll tell 'em link up at the valley at the Hazy
Think I had the shit that had the city going crazy

I ain't felt the pressure in a little while
It's gonna take some getting used to
Floatin' all through the city with the windows down
Puttin' on like I used to
They never told me when you get the crown
It's gon' take some getting used to
New friends all in their old feelings now
They don't love you like they used to man

When you get to where the fuck I'm at
You gotta remind 'em about where you been
About all of the money that done came and went
About the two cents I ain't never spent
When they say you're too famous to pack a gat
I gotta remind 'em about where I'm from
Not about where I'm going, about where I've gone
Stepping on a Swisher roach like a stepping stone
Goin' at a nigga throat like a herringbone
Boy do I smell beef? Mmmm pheromones
Got a fuckin' halo over my devil horns
Trap pumpin' all night like Chevron
Suck a nigga dick for a iPhone 6
Fuck my nigga Terry for a new Blackberry
You can get buried for a ounce of Katy Perry
I was only five but still remember the drought in '87
Lord tell 'em bitches I ain't got no times to play games with 'em
I ain't got no time
Tell her that I love her and I hate her in the same sentence
I'm fuckin' her mind
I got, mind control over Deebo
Parmesan my panino
Promethazine over Pinot
And when my bloods start shootin' that's B-roll bitch

I ain't felt the pressure in a little while
It's gonna take some getting used to
Floatin' all through the city with the windows down
Puttin' on like I used to
They never told me when you get the crown
It's gon' take some getting used to
New friends all in their old feelings now
They don't love you like they used to man

Drake teamed up with Lil Wayne for this If You're Reading This It's Too Late cut. Originally on Weezy's Sorry 4 the Wait 2 mixtape, this version features a new Drake verse as well as a fresh intro and outro by Houston rapper Riff Raff.

The beat was supplied by 18-year-old Canadian producer WondaGurl, who two years previously provided the instrumentation for Jay-Z's track "Crown." The teenager used Instragram's direct message feature to get her music over to Drake. "I made the beat at my house and then I finished it at a studio," Wundagurl told MTV News. "When I finished it, I sent Drake a video through Instagram, through the Direct Message that they have on there. I sent him the video and asked, 'Would you rap on this?' He said it was really hard, but to send it. So, I sent it and it turned into ['Used To']."

Drake has a poke at Kendrick Lamar during this song.

They gon' say your name on them airwaves
They gon' hit you up right after like it's only rap.

Kendrick Lamar called out Drake by name during his verse on Big Sean's "Control" in 2013 along with a slew of other rappers. Lamar said it's only rap, but Drake still took offense to the namecheck.

Big Sean was also supposed to be on this track but he recorded his verse too late so his contribution didn't make it on the album.
