Drake Twists Unreleased ‘FOMO’ Lyric With Behind-the-Scenes Photos From Short Film

A week following FOMO's release, Drake unveiled a collection of behind-the-scenes photos from the short film's production, shared on Instagram on Tuesday, September 22. The caption accompanying the image collection read, "Weird hill to die on but at least you’re gone." The lyric in question was extracted from an unreleased track in Fear of Missing Out, informally named "Free" due to its utilization of Drake's "I just wanna be free" chorus from ICEMAN's "Make Them Pay."

In the track, Drake raps, "Funny, y’all gon’ die up on this hill/ This s–t hilarious," without specifying his target.

The accompanying images depict Drake engaging in various activities, such as spending time with his "goth baddie" Pinkchyu, donning the Iron Man suit, riding the Leviathan roller coaster, and more. Reese LaFlare remarked on the photos, likening Drake's new appearance to '90s wrestler Razor Ramon (Scott Hall). The single "Free" generated significant buzz on social media when played during FOMO's concluding credits, with some Octave of Vinyl (OVO) fans suspecting that Drake was addressing fellow artist Kendrick Lamar.

In the song, Drake declares, "They tell me that my circle getting small huh/ But b—h we from the Dot, you can’t compare to us/ F–k all that circle s–t, I’m squaring up."

FOMO showcased collaborations with Don Toliver, PartyNextDoor, and Yeat, alongside visuals inspired by tracks from HABIBTI and MAID OF HONOUR. Following his May release of three albums, which positioned Drake as the first artist to occupy the Billboard 200's top three positions simultaneously, the artist is maintaining a hectic schedule. During an interview post-FOMO premiere, Drake affirmed his plans to embark on a world tour in 2027. Watch FOMO in full below.
