You Broke My Heart" finds Drake going ballistic on an ex. She went and played the cheating game, shattering Drizzy's heart into a million pieces. But this isn't just your run-of-the-mill breakup drama. Nah, it's next-level chaos. Homegirl went on a mission, digging up dirt, trying to tarnish Drake's rep like she was on a vendetta or something. From the get-go, Drake had his suspicions about this girl, but he couldn't resist her "drum body," got himself hooked, and fell head over heels. Drake isn't just drowning in emotional pain; he's brewing a whole pot of vengeance and hatred. The song's finale sees him straight-up cursing out his ex. There's no holding back, just letting the expletives fly. Drake co-wrote the song with his friend Smiley, who he also calls Smiggs or Smiggy. Smiley also contributes backing vocals and gets a shoutout from the Toronto MC. Got the adlibs from Smiggy Canadian rapper Smiley signed with Drake's label OVO in 2021. They've since collaborated on tracks such as Smiley's hit "Over The Top." Vinylz and FnZ created the opulent soul production. Dominican-American songwriter and producer Vinylz is close to Drake's in-house producer, Boi-1da. His other Drake credits include "Know Yourself," "Fake Love" and "0 to 100/ The Catch Up." The Australian production duo FnZ comprises Michael "Finatik" Mulé and Isaac "Zac" Deboni. Other tracks they've produced for Drake include "Lemon Pepper Freestyle," "Rich Flex," and "First Person Shooter." Vinylz and FnZ's production samples The Supremes 1970 hit "Stoned Love." The song also starts with sampled vocals from a 1976 live version of Major Harris' "I Got Over Love." "You Broke My Heart" is the last track on For All the Dogs Scary Hours Edition, the reissue of For All the Dogs, which Drake released six weeks previously.

Yeah
Yeah
(Oh, baby, don't go)
(Don't go)
Look
Look

My notepad caught many bodies
Screenshots solved plenty problems
Voice notes bagged plenty hotties
Can't just talk to me like anybody
Can't just talk to me like anybody
Man, you bitches know that I'm a somebody
And lil' baby bad, she got a drum body
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
Bunch of feelings I just couldn't shake
Disrespect that I just shouldn't take
You just couldn't see the good in Drake
Four months not a long time, but you fucked somebody, you just couldn't wait
You broke my heart, you broke my heart

(It hurts)
Yeah
(If you just believe)
Yeah

I put careers on shelves like Amazon distribution center help
Really hate to call lil' broski for the dirty work, I'd rather do it by myself, grrah, grrah, grrah
My tour route'll leave a lazy nigga dizzy
Got more tracks than when a hair salon is busy
Flow for days like that River Mississippi
Freaky nigga like I sing with Pretty Ricky
Huh? Yeah, yeah
Got the adlibs from Smiggy
Nails done, but my trigger finger itchy
Clutchin' on a blicky, shit is gettin' tricky
People love to diss me
I hear every single thing, man
I'm all ears like I took the fam to Disney
Guess that's one way to tell me that you miss me (don't go)

(Don't go)
Yeah

You broke my heart
I had my doubts about you from the start
Pushed to the edge like Vert
On Instagram, diggin' up dirt
You wanted smoke with me first
Well, this one gon'-
Yeah, this one gon' hurt
Down bad boys, sad boys, I been representin' since birth
Yeah, I would die bad 'bout you, but I'm 'bout to have you down worse
I swear you're dead to me, does Mercerdes make a hearse?

Matter fact, everybody in this bitch scream out, "Fuck my ex"
Yeah, fuck my ex
Fuck my ex (fuck my ex)
Fuck my ex (fuck my ex)
Fuck my ex (middle fingers up)
Fuck my ex ('bout turn this bitch up)
Fuck my ex
Fuck my ex (I should drop a name)
Fuck my ex (drop a couple names)
Fuck my ex (since you want some fame)
Fuck my ex (yeah, pussy niggas that you turnin' up with)
Fuck my ex (in a whip, clownin' on me, yeah)
Fuck my ex (fuck my ex)
Fuck my ex (yeah, fuck my ex)
Fuck my ex (fuck my ex)
Fuck my ex (whoa, whoa, whoa)
Fuck my ex (I can't let it go)
Fuck my ex (payback a bitch)
It's fuck my ex (if you ain't did this shit)
Fuck my ex (you would've popped off, you would've said shit)
Fuck my ex (you would've posted shit, I know your ass too well)
Fuck my ex (fuck my ex)

Lyin'
Lyin' to my face
Thought you would've shown a little grace
How can I expect someone who never had they own place to know they damn place?
Treatin' me like I'm dumb or somethin'
Like you're runnin' somethin'
Like they dropped you on your head when you was one or somethin'
Fuck my ex, ayy, ayy, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
Fuck my ex, yeah, right, right, right
