Drake singles chronology

"What Did I Miss?" is a song by Canadian rapper Drake. It was released on July 5, 2025, through OVO Sound and Republic Records, as the lead single from his upcoming ninth studio album, Iceman.^[1]^[2] It was written by Drake. The song marks Drake’s return to solo material following his collaborative project Some Sexy Songs 4 U with PartyNextDoor earlier in 2025.

Background and promotion

Following Drake's feud with Kendrick Lamar, Drake began teasing his ninth studio record Iceman in August of 2024. This began with the release of the 100 Gigs EP and him posting cryptic messages on his social media accounts, his backup Instagram account, plottttwistttttt.

On July 4, 2025, nearly five months after the release of his collaborative studio album Some Sexy Songs 4 U, Drake began teasing his first solo material of the year. The release of "What Did I Miss?" was preceded by a livestream titled Iceman: Episode 1, which featured him driving a truck around Toronto, eventually drawing a crowd as fans recognized him.^[3] Additional footage showed the rapper sitting in an Iceman-branded warehouse, eating food and watching old videos of himself, before the stream transitioned into a live performance of the new song.^[4]

Composition

In "What Did I Miss?", Drake addresses the aftermath of his feud with Kendrick Lamar, calling out those who attempted to "play both sides" rather than support him. The song includes direct references to Lamar's Pop Out concert on Juneteenth 2024, among other nods to their conflict.^[5] The song features Drake's signature blend of "slick melodies and razor-sharp raps", as he directly addresses people he believes betrayed him, questioning the authenticity of past friendships, most notably with NBA stars DeMar DeRozan and LeBron James.^[6] Drake raps, "I saw bro went to Pop Out with them, but been dick riding gang since 'Headlines'", serving as a subliminal directed towards James as Drake believes he betrayed him by attending Kendrick's show and dancing to his 2024 award-winning diss against him, "Not Like Us".^{[citation needed]}
