So Drake dropped a new track—“What Did I Miss?”—and the internet did what it always does when Drake opens his mouth: half the world clutched their pearls and declared it “deep,” while the rest of us rolled our eyes so hard we dislocated something.
Because here’s the thing: when Drake asks “What did I miss?”—he doesn’t mean news, or culture, or politics. He means “Which woman didn’t text me back fast enough?” or “Who betrayed me by not orbiting my emotional needs with the precision of a NASA satellite?”
Spoiler: it’s always about Drake.
The Song: Another Soft-Boy Manifesto in a Velvet Hoodie
On the surface, “What Did I Miss?” is just another vibey, semi-moody, lightly Auto-Tuned walk through Drake’s psyche. But dig a little deeper (like, half an inch) and you’ll find the same narrative he’s been recycling since Take Care:
- “I made you.”
- “You switched up.”
- “Fame is lonely.”
- “I loved you the most, even if I can’t prove that via consistent actions.”
He’s basically the patron saint of the Almost Good Guy™—you know, the one who cries about loyalty while DM’ing 19-year-olds and blocking your number the second you bring up boundaries.
A Brief History of Drake Feeling Betrayed:
- Rihanna didn’t marry him? Betrayal.
- Kanye threw a lyric? Betrayal.
- Pusha T exposed his secret child? Betrayal.
- The Toronto Raptors lost a playoff game? Betrayal.
- A woman moved on without posting a breakup montage on Instagram? Deep betrayal.
At this point, Drake treats emotional growth like it’s a subscription service he keeps forgetting to cancel.
“What Did I Miss?” – A Masterclass in Weaponized Whining
In this song, Drake waxes poetic about being misunderstood, disrespected, and—of course—loyal. Because no man who repeats the word “loyalty” that many times in a single verse has ever cheated, lied, or ghosted someone after a weekend in Turks and Caicos.
Let’s be honest: Drake talks about loyalty like a toddler talks about sharing. He loves the idea of it—as long as it’s all about him.
Meanwhile, in the real world, we’re still trying to recover from that time he dissed Megan Thee Stallion in the middle of her assault trial and then tried to vibe his way out of it.
Loyalty, Betrayal, and Drake’s Brooding Furniture
You know Drake has a room in his mansion specifically for brooding. Probably lined with suede walls, dim pink lighting, and a half-empty bottle of cologne named “Misunderstood Masculinity.” That’s where he writes these tracks—one tear drop at a time, whispering “She really left me… after I forgot her birthday three years in a row and asked her to split the bill at Nobu.”
He keeps making loyalty sound like a tragic Greek myth, when in reality, it’s just people asking him not to be a hypocrite with a billion-dollar pout.
Reactions Online: The Internet Never Misses
Twitter/X/whatever it’s called now exploded within hours of release:
- “Drake snapped.”
- “Drake healed my abandonment issues with a single beat.”
- “Drake really be speaking for all us soft alpha kings out here.”
And then:
- “Sir… you’re 37. Why are you still writing subtext about IG models like it’s a teenage diary?”
- “This man treats emotional accountability like it’s a feature locked behind a paywall.”
- “Drake is the kind of guy who cries after sex, but only because you didn’t tell him he was ‘different.’”
Final Thoughts: What Did You Miss, Drake?
Oh, I don’t know:
- Basic introspection.
- Apologizing with your whole chest.
- A therapy appointment.
- Maybe just one friendship where the woman doesn’t have to babysit your ego.
So here’s the answer to your question, Aubrey:
You missed the plot.
You missed the chapter where emotional maturity starts.
You missed the part where loyalty means consistency, not control.
But don’t worry.
You’ll probably write a song about how no one understood that either.
