Songfacts®:

  • "Meet Your Padre" is a playful Spanglish flirtation where PartyNextDoor and Drake ask to be introduced to their love interest's parents.
  • Joining the fun is Mexican urban sierreño star Chino Pacas, who lends his voice to the chorus. This marks his second collaboration with Drake, the first being "Modo Capone," recorded for his 2024 album Que Sigan Llegando las Pacas.
  • The production team - Jesus Ortiz Paz (JOP), DJ Lewis, Jose Manuel De Luna, and O Lil Angel - decided that one genre simply wouldn't do, so they threw in a bit of everything: R&B, flamenco, corridos, and a sample from Greek artist Konstantinos Argiros' "Iliovasilema." The result is a bilingual, culturally blended track.

    Jesús Ortíz Paz is the frontman of American regional Mexican band Fuerza Regida, who Pacas works with regularly. Their collaborative tracks include the Drake-featuring "Modo Capone."
  • Drake and PartyNextDoor recorded "Meet Your Padre" for their first joint album, Some Sexy Songs 4 U. Released on Valentine's Day 2025, the title leaves no doubt about its intended purpose.
  • The pair go back a long way. PartyNextDoor was the first artist signed to Drake's OVO Sound label back in 2013, and they've been making music together ever since. Their previous collaborations include PartyNextDoor's "Over Here," "Recognize," "Come and See Me" and "Loyal," and Drake's "Preach," "Heat of the Moment" and "With You."
