Drake’s “Nokia”, featuring PARTYNEXTDOOR, is a hypnotic blend of mostly R&B, dance-pop, and hip-hop that pulses with nostalgia and futuristic swagger.
The track, lifted from his “Some Sexy Songs 4 U,” doesn’t just reference the early 2000s—it revives it, weaving the iconic Nokia ringtone into its production like a ghostly callback to a past era of late-night texts and missed calls.
PARTYNEXTDOOR’s velvety vocals glide over the beat, playing off Drake’s effortless cool, creating a sound that feels both intimate and club-ready banger.
The music video, a high-drama, black-and-white IMAX spectacle, transforms the song into a visually appealing cinematic experience with subtle hints of Y2k nodes, with Carnival dancers, hazy Toronto backdrops, and a striking cameo from NBA star Shai Gilgeous-Alexander. It’s not just a visual—it’s a mood, a moment, and a flex all in one.
“Nokia” is a definite bop that might just end up being this summer’s dance party anthem.
