About this song
Headlines features production from Drake's frequent collaborators Boi-1da and Noah "40" Shebib. It was the first song Drake released for his album Take Care, and he has said he chose it to deliver a message rather than a radio-friendly single.
What it's about
The song's title is read as a nod to Drake's success and impact in rap, suggesting his releases are big news worthy of a headline. The headlines themselves are not mentioned in the lyrics.
