Metro Boomin‘s producer tag puts his signature stamp on “Heart on My Sleeve,” the viral song featuring what sounds like vocals from Drake and The Weeknd. But he didn’t have anything to do with creating it — and neither did they.
Before “Heart on My Sleeve” reached TikTok, it had already settled in on streaming services. The track was first uploaded to Spotify and Apple Music on April 4. “I was a ghostwriter for years and got paid close to nothing just for major labels to profit,” the creator wrote in the comments of both of his latest videos. “The future is here.”
“I came in with my ex like Selena to flex/Bumpin’ Justin Bieber, the fever ain’t left/She know what she need, Anita, she blessed/Givin’ you my best,” Not-Drake raps on the song. In the other verses Ghostwriter penned to deliver through the rapper’s voice, he namedrops 21 Savage and boasts about kicking women he doesn’t need to the curb.
The Weeknd’s verses don’t capture his musical essence quite as accurately. There are a few lines about Toronto and fast cars, but it ultimately lands too far away from the actual artist’s current position in the pop arena, miles away from his underground roots, to be believable. Even through Drake’s frequent stagnation, Ghostwriter seems to capture both artists at a place that they couldn’t, or more likely wouldn’t, return to themselves.
