11 Reasons We Love Drake

This article is written by a student writer from the Her Campus at URI chapter.

If any of you are Drake fans, you’ve probably heard of OVO (October’s Very Own). So what better way to end the month of October with not only celebrating Drake’s birthday, but reminding ourselves why we love him as much as we do. 

1. His lyrics speak to the heart.

“I better find your loving, I better find your heart. I bet if I give all my love then nothing’s gonna tear us apart.” 

Try and tell me you wouldn’t MELT if a boy sang that to you.

2. His smile makes you smile.

Drake’s smile is contagious, and in the words of Justin Bieber… “You smile, I smile.”

3. Speaking of Justin Bieber, he has multiple songs with him.

Something about this friendship just makes me happy. 

4. He’s also collabed with Beyonce on more than one occasion. 

Whether it’s Beyonce featuring Drake, or Drake featuring Beyonce, you can never go wrong when Drake collabs with The Queen.

5. His dance moves are on point.

Okay, maybe not. But it’s the thought that counts!

6. He’s a mommas boy.

Just adorable.

7. He understands that you might not always look your best around him.

“Sweatpants, hair tied, chllin’ with no makeup on. That’s when you’re the prettiest I hope that you don’t take it wrong.”

Drake didn’t come up with this popular lyric for nothing! 

8. His lyrics are really witty…

Who else do you know that can somehow rhyme Hannukah and Rihanna? 

9. …and are perfect for Instagram captions.

I wish there was a counter on how many people (including myself) have used the caption, “Nobody really likes us except for us” or “Waaaaay up I feel blessed” to caption a picture. 

10. We all love screaming “RUNNING THROUGH THE 6 WITH MY WOES” when the song plays.

“Know Yourself” is guaranteed to come on at every party and we just love snapchatting that part of the song.

11. He has a great sense of humor.

Whether he’s hosting Saturday Night Live or The Espys, Drake never fails to make us laugh.
