On Tuesday, Drake unveiled "Fear of Missing Out" (FOMO), a self-described "not-so-short film" that served as a showcase for new music videos and several unreleased tracks from his recent summer release of three albums. Several of the fresh songs incorporated country-inspired elements, notably an interpolation of Ella Langley's top-charting single "Choosin' Texas".
Alongside the music videos, the project also featured collaborations with Don Toliver and Yeat. Notable cameos appeared in the videos from Langley, Toliver, Sexyy Red, Winnie Harlow, Lena the Plug, Pinkchyu, and Drake's mother, Sandi Graham. The "FOMO" video was initially streamed on YouTube at approximately 10:30 p.m. ET, but it was taken down shortly after its premiere.
It remains uncertain whether the video will be made available again or if the new songs and videos will have a separate release. In an Instagram post promoting the FOMO film, Drake described it as "self-funded surrealism" and a "story about making the absolute most of it all in one summer." He advised viewers, "Nobody is coming to save you.
You must use each day to decipher who you love and trust and march forward with them. I hope this serves as motivation to make that call, take that trip, drop that song, open that shop, see your parents, leave that relationship or stay in it forever, spend the bread, get some more etc." Drake lamented the decline of the music industry, stating, "They keep saying our genre is dying.
Videos don't matter. Nobody is watching nobody is listening. I still care. As much as I did on the set of Best I Ever Had. So be kind and rewind."
