Drake

"Hold On, We're Going Home" is the latest song by Canadian recording artist, Drake. The song was written by Drake, Majid Jordan, Nineteen 85, and Noah Shebib, and produced by the latter three. It serves as the second single from his third studio album Nothing Was the Same, and was released for digital download on August 7th, following the 2013 OVO Fest. It was later released to mainstream and rhythmic contemporary radios on August 13th. The song has since peaked at number 21 on the Billboard Hot 100.

Before "Hold On, We're Going Home" was released, Drake had an interview with MTV News sduring the 4th Annual OVO Fest saying, "It's me and 40 just channeling our Quincy Jones/Michael Jackson production duo,... Obviously no offense to the greats, I know we're not anywhere near that - it's just us kinda doing our thing, humbly attempting." He also added, "It's not a rap record,... It's not 'Versace,' it's not 'Started From the Bottom.' In approaching this album I was like man, it would be great if we had a record that was played at weddings in 10 years or that people that are away from their families in the army could listen to. Something that just [has] timeless writing, timeless melody. So I did it with the group that we signed to OVO called Majid Jordan."
