Drake revealed who "Too Good" is really about. On Tuesday, the 37-year-old Canadian rapper dropped 100 gigabytes of never-before-seen content from his personal archives, including pictures, videos and a few unreleased tracks. Newly released studio footage shows that his 2016 song "Too Good," in which he raps about his "love" for someone being taken "for granted," was written about Serena Williams , 42.
In the video, Drake dishes to his mother, who is off camera, that "Too Good" is about "me and Serena," to which she responds, "I gathered that." "If I'm gonna talk about [women], I'll at least do them the justice of making them a song that they like," Drake says. "So, I know Serena very well and I know that she'll hear it loud and clear but she'll also not hate me for it because it's lighthearted.
" At the end of the clip, Drake's mom reminds him that Williams has already moved on to someone else. Drake brushes it off and responds, "I don't know, Mom." Williams was dating her now-husband Alexis Ohanian at the time of the song's release.
In "Too Good," Drake raps, "Years go by too fast / I can't keep track / How long did we last? / I feel bad for asking / It can't end like this / We gotta take time with this." The final verse concludes: "And I wanna tell you my intentions / I wanna do the things that I mention / I wanna benefit from the friendship / I wanna get the late night message from you, from you / I put my hands around you / Gotta get a handle on you."
