The FOMO Four-Pack and Streaming Release

The OVO leader officially brought a collection of songs from his Fear of Missing Out short film to digital streaming platforms (DSPs) this week. had previously teased the release during a gambling session on the Kick streaming platform, where he addressed fan requests for the tracks that first appeared in the film on Sept. 15.

The new four-pack includes two collaborations with , marking the first pair of official joint efforts between the two artists. While most of the FOMO tracks landed on this deluxe edition, one fan favorite had already been released elsewhere; Yeat included his collaboration with the 6 God, titled “Miss My Dawg,” on his COCOON EP earlier in September.

Collaborations and Track Highlights

The deluxe expansion is led by “Cold Shoulder,” which features both Don Toliver and Yebba. This track, described as the "crown jewel" of the short film, features amplified vocals from Yebba in the chorus and a polished CDQ version that improves upon the livestream quality heard in September. In this R&B leaning production, Drake delivers a silky hook before passing the baton to Toliver’s husky flow.

The second collaboration with Toliver, “Solar Eclipse,” highlights Drake’s recent interest in country music. The track interpolates Ella Langley’s anthem “Choosin’ Texas,” a song that has spent a record 24 weeks atop the Billboard Hot 100. Drake has been vocal about his affinity for Langley’s work, attending her Arkansas show in August and praising her "goated pen." On “Solar Eclipse,” the themes of country music are adapted into a woozy R&B atmosphere, featuring Toliver over grungy guitar strums.

The release also includes:

  • “Classic PT2”: An extended version of the HABIBTI track “Classic.” This version removes the halftime beat switch and the raunchy Jus’ Cauze sample, adding a second verse and retaining the original sticky chorus.

  • “Quebec”: A track accompanied by a lavish visual in the short film featuring a diamond-encrusted watch, a rare Jaguar, and a Cam’ron-inspired pink Range Rover. The song is characterized as a lyrical exercise where Drake turns his kitchen into an Ibiza-style dance party.

Drake’s Historic 2026 Chart Dominance

The release of the HABIBTI deluxe follows a record-breaking year for the 6 God. In May 2026, Drake achieved a historic milestone by becoming the first artist to ever hold the top three slots on the Billboard 200 simultaneously with his trifecta of releases: ICEMAN, HABIBTI, and MAID OF HONOUR.

ICEMAN provided Drake with his 15th No. 1 album, while the single “Janice STFU” notched his 14th No. 1 hit on the Billboard Hot 100. Furthermore, “Janice STFU” became his longest-running No. 1 on the Hot Rap Songs chart, spending 19 weeks at the summit and breaking the previous tie held by “Hotline Bling.”

This latest four-pack arrives just one week after Taylor Swift utilized a similar release strategy for her project The Life of a Showgirl: The Encore. As Drake continues his creative momentum, he is preparing for his first North American trek since 2023’s It’s All A Blur Tour, with a full world tour scheduled for 2027. There is also speculation regarding Don Toliver’s future releases, as “Cold Shoulder” could potentially serve as a bridge to an OCTANE follow-up before the end of 2026.
