Songfacts®:

  • "Another Late Night" sees Drake and Lil Yachty flaunt their romantic conquests, wealth, and loyalty to their crews while throwing out some jabs.
  • Drake's verse finds him shaking off the haters who can't handle his innocent friendship with the young actress Millie Bobby Brown.

    Weirdos in my comments talkin' 'bout some Millie Bobby, look
    Bring them jokes up to the gang, we get to really flockin'
    Or send a finger to your mama in some FedEx boxes


    The criticism of their friendship started back in 2017 when the two met before Drake performed in Brisbane, Australia, as part of his Boy Meets World tour. The then-31-year-old rapper and 14-year-old actress chilled backstage, then shared their meet-up on Instagram. Since then, they've stayed tight, with Drake being the big bro, dishing out advice about boys to Millie.

    And to all the "weirdo" haters throwing shade at their bond, Drake's got a word of warning: He and his crew will get violent if they keep talking that talk.
  • After dating on-and-off for seven years, Drake and Rihanna called it quits in 2016. It seems they didn't part amicably; Rihanna told Vogue in 2018 that Drizzy and her "don't have a friendship now, but we're not enemies either."

    It seems like Drake's still got some feels – or at least, that's what fans are thinking after he dropped For All The Dogs. On some tracks, folks are pretty sure Drizzy's throwing shade at his superstar ex and her partner A$AP Rocky.

    In the "Fear Of Heights" intro, Drake keeps saying "Anti," which just happens to be the name of Rihanna's 2016 album. Coincidence? You decide.

    Then, on the track "Virginia Beach," Drake talks about a Parsons degree, and guess what? Rihanna holds an honorary degree from New York's Parsons School of Design.

    Lastly, on "Another Late Night," Drake takes aim at A$AP Rocky, using the nickname "flacko" and playing around with his rap name.

    I ain't pretty flacko, bitch, this s--t get really rocky, ayy, what? Damn, what?
  • During an interview with Caleb Pressley, the Sundae Conversations host asked Drake, "What's the right thing for me to call women? bitches or hoes?"

    Drake replied, "I'm proud to say I don't really drop the B word in person... I say it in raps."

    This song's chorus finds Drake referencing that interview:

    Just another late night with my bitch
    And I hate to even call her ass my bitch
    'Cause I love that ho, don't even make no sense, man
  • Lil Yachty's verse covers a bunch of ground – he talks about his crew and pals, his luxurious lifestyle, and his dealings with the ladies, even dishing on letting go someone who lacked style. Plus, he drops some wisdom about staying vigilant.
  • Lil Yachty and Childboy created the shimmering beat. Childboy also produced Yachty's Lil Boat 3 track "Demon Time."
  • Directed by Cole Bennett, the surreal visual finds Drake and Lil Yachty rapping with a pack of wolves in a parking lot. Bennett filmed the clip over the course of two hours in Maple Ridge, Canada.
