Toosie Slide

About this song

Drake's first dance-focused record, the song grew out of a dance created by Atlanta choreographer Toosie, who posted a video of the dance with other dancers five days before the release. Toosie said Drake asked him to make a dance for a song idea, and after the dancers contributed moves, Drake finished the track and named it after the dance. The single was Drake's first official release on all streaming platforms and his third release of 2020, and it was later included on his fifth mixtape, Dark Lane Demo Tapes.
