Drake Previews Possible Remix of Ella Langley's Hit During Toronto Set
Drake played a slowed-down version of the song with altered lyrics during a DJ appearance on Sunday. It is unclear if an official remix will be released. He has previously shown support for Langley by attending her concert and praising her songwriting.
Drake's Sunday DJ set in Toronto offered a slowed, moodier take on Langley's country hit, swapping the original's "cowboy" for "cowgirl" in the chorus. The snippet follows his August appearance at her Arkansas show, where he sang along from a luxury box with opener ERNEST, and his earlier praise of her songwriting. Langley has returned the admiration, posting a TikTok lip-sync to Drake and Lil Wayne's "HYFR."
The possible collaboration would extend Langley's crossover reach; she already worked with rapper BigXthaPlug on "Hell at Night," which reached No. 26 on the Hot 100. Her "Jaded" with Koe Wetzel currently sits at No. 22. Drake, meanwhile, has been exploring country elements since May's "Rusty Intro" and recently teased a new project titled "Fear of Missing Out."
A Drake-assisted remix could significantly expand Langley's audience, introducing her country sound to hip-hop's massive streaming base and potentially boosting both her chart positions and tour visibility. It may also signal a broader trend of rap artists crossing into country territory, which could reshape genre boundaries and create new commercial opportunities for country newcomers. However, the impact depends on whether an official release materializes, as the preview may simply reflect Drake's exploratory creative process rather than a committed collaboration.
