Songfacts®:

  • Views is loosely themed around the change of seasons in Toronto. This song, which comes in towards the end of the album, laments the return to colder weather. Drake told Zane Lowe on his Beats 1 show:

    "Winter to summer and back to winter again. It's just to show you the two extreme moods that we have. We love our summers but we also make our winters work…You start to value your days a lot more when most people won't go outside type of thing."
  • The song is sung entirely by Majid Al Maskati of Majid Jordan. Maskati's Majid Jordan partner, Jordan Ullman, co-produced another Views track "Feel No Ways."

    Drake's OVO signees Majid Jordan are a Canadian R&B duo that was formerly known as Good People. They first came to prominence after featuring on Drizzy's "Hold On We're Going Home." The pair dropped their self-titled, full-length debut in early 2016.
