God's Plan

About this song

The official music video takes a different approach from the song's lyrics: Drake used the video's budget, $996,631.90, to give money away to families, schools, charities and more. The video was directed by Karena Evans, who is from Toronto and is a protégé of Director X, who has worked on several Drake videos, including "Hotline Bling" and "Started From The Bottom."

What it's about

The song is a feel-good track about Drake's future and his belief that God will not let him fail, even though he feels people in the industry want him to. It also addresses keeping distance from people outside his inner circle, who he suspects of having ulterior motives, and giving back to the people and environment he came from.
