Songfacts®:

  • Future is joined by A$AP Rocky to deliver a fast, boastful track. Both rappers flaunt their jewelry and the hold they have on women.
  • Rocky sets the tone early – he's all about the finer things and isn't afraid to tempt a chick to ditch her dude. He's talking about taking her on OnlyFans shoots, buying her a Benz – all she has to do is raise her hand if she's interested.

    The title "Show of Hands" is deeper than it seems, though. It isn't just about flashing cash. It's a metaphor too, like showing your true desires or how much dough you've got to steal a girl away. You have to play your cards right, keep your secrets close, then maybe, just maybe, she'll be yours.
  • A$AP Rocky and Future aren't exactly new jacks on the block, but this is their first team-up since 2016. Back then, they linked up on A$AP Ferg's remix of "New Level.

    Rocky's been busier with Metrro Boomin though, featuring on the tracks "Am I Dreaming" and "Nonviolent Communication" for the producer's soundtrack for Spiderman: Across the Spider-Verse.

    He also dropped rhymes and interludes throughout Metro Boomin's 2022 album Heroes and Villains.
  • "Show Of Hands" is most noteworthy for Rocky's shots fired at Drake. Back in 2023, the Toronto MC threw shade at Rocky's girl, Rihanna, on a couple of For All The Dogs tracks, "Another Late Night" and "Fear Of Heights."

    In "Show Of Hands," Flacko fires back at Drizzy, talking about how Drake's album flopped, before bringing the 6 God's baby mama, Sophie Brussaux, into play.

    N---as in they feelings over women, what, you hurt or something?
    I smashed before you birthed son, Flacko hit it first, son


    Rocky and Sophie were a thing before Drake, and some folks even thought that Rocky might be the daddy before the DNA test.
