Here, Drake is playing a game of "Guess Who" with his Nokia phone, a treasure trove of women's names and numbers. Someone is calling him, and he wonders which of his many admirers it is. Is it Stacy? Who's callin' my phone? Is it Becky? Who's callin' my phone? Is it Keisha? Who's callin' my phone? Is it Ellie? Who's callin' my phone? Was it Dani? Who's callin' my phone? With each repeated "Who?" in the chorus, Drake leans in closer to the funhouse mirror of his own lifestyle as he flexes about the sheer volume of women in his contact list. It's a theme that runs through his work, particularly in "First Person Shooter" from For All The Dogs, where Drake raps: I search one name, and end up seein' twenty tings Nadine, Christine, Justine Kathleen, Charlene, Pauline, Claudine Man, I pack 'em in this phone like some sardines Who's callin' my phone? Who? Who? Drake's use of "Who? Who?" sounds like an owl's call, aligning with the branding of his label, OVO (October's Very Own), that features an owl logo. The OVO logo incorporates the letters "O" and "V," which resemble owl eyes and a beak, respectively, symbolizing both nocturnal themes and wisdom associated with owls. Drake collaborated with British producer Elkan on this high-energy club track. Elkan crafted the beat in a studio in Freetown, Sierra Leone, in early January 2025, drawing from personal experiences.. He recalled the comfort of close friends checking in on him during a tough time, offering distractions like "inviting me out to karaoke, clubbing, going to crazy food spots and just enjoying the finer things in life!" Elkan samples the iconic Nokia ringtone throughout the song, a nod to those early, simpler days when our phones were not yet gateways to a boundless digital realm. The Nokia tune, also known as "Grande Valse," originated from a solo guitar composition called "Gran Vals" by Spanish classical guitarist and composer Francisco Tárrega. Written in 1902, this piece became synonymous with the Finnish corporation Nokia in the 1990s. It was the first recognizable mobile tune, now immortalized as a chime that any millennial could pick out of a lineup. "Nokia" is Elkan's first collaboration with Drake. His other credits include "Legacy" for Lecrae's Grammy-nominated mixtape Church Clothes 4 and "Metro Spider" for Metro Boomin's Heroes & Villains album. Elkan also composed the background score for EA's Madden 24 game. "Nokia" garnered significant attention on social media, with fans creating dance videos and memes that celebrate its lively spirit.

The way I feel right now, I feel like we need to be all alone
So if you just playin' around, you need to tell your girl, "Take your fine ass home," and that's real
Stop teasin' me, yeah, what? Stop teasin' me
I could change your life so easily
I keep beggin' you to stay, but you're leavin' me
Leavin' me, we got sticks in the club illegally
Got the whole six side, they believe in me
We got members east of the DVP
We got members west on 401
We had a lock on the game, but it's more to come
You gotta pop that ass 'til the morning come
You want shots for the girls? Then order some
