Lyrically, the song sees Drake and 21 Savage expressing their love and care for their respective partners; Savage brings up wanting to follow his lover's "Finsta".[2] Drake reveals his opposition to the overturning of Roe v. Wade, dismissing legislators who support it as "men who never got pussy in school"[3][4] and stating he will protect his partner as a result,[4][5] while also rapping about making a woman famous through one phone call.[4]

Critical reception[edit]

The song was met with a generally positive reception. Matthew Ritchie of HipHopDX called it "the best example of the pairing's chemistry" in a review of Her Loss, also writing that "The toe the line between sensitive and corny".[2] RapReviews' Steve "Flash" Juon praised the lyrics that show Drake's stance on abortion.[4] Josh Svetz of Paste wrote, "The track lets 21 expand his range, while also putting Drake in a spot of comfort, allowing both artists to shine."[5]

Music video[edit]

The official music video was released on February 24, 2023. Directed by Dave Meyers, it begins with the rappers lavishly enjoying themselves on a private yacht;[6][7][8] 21 Savage raps as he prepares fruit, slicing cara cara oranges, and lights a cigar with a dollar bill,[9][10] while Drake enjoys fresh ocean air on the boat's deck above.[10] From binoculars, 21 spots a woman (played by Precious Lee) drowning in the ocean.[9][11] They save her with a flotation device and bring her on board, then provide her a meal.[8][9] As night falls, Drake spends time with the woman and treats her to a glass of champagne. Meanwhile, a group of women approach and enter the yacht from their boat and destroy a surveillance camera.[9][12] The woman seduces Drake,[6] tricking him into going for a kiss before blowing a white, powdered substance into his face, drugging him.[9][12] The beat of the song slowly warps as Drake hallucinates and loses consciousness.[9][13] Upon waking up, Drake and 21 Savage find themselves tied up and handcuffed,[9][12] and it is revealed the woman they rescued is in league with the invaders.[14] The rappers are held hostage as the crew of women ransack and vandalize the yacht,[6][8][12] robbing their jewelry, guns, money and marijuana,[9][13][15] smashing photos hanging on the wall,[9] shooting up and eventually burning the ship.[7][15] One of the pirates spray paints "His Loss" over the "Her Loss" logo of the yacht and a few of them push a helicopter overboard.[9][15] With a gun to his head, Drake opens a safe and hands over his "Previous Engagements" chain, while Savage gets a heart tattoo over the dagger tattoo on his forehead.[15] As the yacht is engulfed in flames, the women execute Drake, who falls into the sea, and shoot at Savage as he jumps off the ship in an attempt to escape.[7][9][15] After that, the pirates drive away in their boat with the stolen luxuries from the yacht as it explodes.[6][9]
