Background and release

In early 2016, the renowned British artist Kyla was first contacted by Drake's production team on the use of her 2008 song "Do You Mind (Crazy Cousinz remix)", in a new inflows and dancehall song infused with Drake and artist Nigerian Wizkid, whom Drake had met a year earlier through British grime artist Skepta to work on a remix of Wizkid's song, Ojuelegba. Drake has reportedly been a fan of Kyla songs for several years and thus convinces his producer Nineteen85 to use "Do You Mind (Crazy Cousinz remix)" as a bridge in their new song. "Do You Mind" was then done by South African DJ Maphorisa which slowed the tempo before adding Wizkid background vocals. The production of "One Dance" finished within a week and was released in early April 2016 for fear of leakage, as happened with Drake "Controlla" (originally featuring Jamaican popcaan dancehall artist) leaked to the internet in March 2016. In addition to Wizkid in "One Dance", Drake provides vocals for the Wizkid song "Come Closer", which was recorded at the same time, but was released a year later in March 2017.

Drake and his team are not sure how "One Dance" will be received after being released as they consider it a major change from previous work. They therefore decided to release together with the song "Pop Style", featuring The Throne (Kanye West and Jay Z), as they felt it was a more conventional rap record and would therefore withstand criticism if it was negative.

The message is as simple as a mesmerizing rhythm: "One Dance" is about the spiritual connection that two people can have in a club, when the vibrations fill the air and they lose themselves.The Drake verses float while the echoing Wizkid chirps melt into the rhythm of the rhythm.In closing seconds, a series of tones and polyrhythms collapsed on each other when Kyla's paws gave way to Drake once again, which was symbolic of the full multiculturalism on the screen.
