Drake's classic album Take Care officially turns 15 years old on Saturday. It is the album that turned Drake into a bona fide superstar. For some, it's his best album. For others, it is simply the project that dictated his sound and set the foundation for who he is today.
Interestingly enough, there is one specific song on Take Care that has yet to make its way to Spotify. That song is "Hate Sleeping Alone," which was a bonus track when the album first came out. Over the years, fans have had to go to YouTube to give it a listen. Oftentimes, these YouTube versions are mixed poorly or have compression issues.
Thankfully, Drake is giving his Spotify listeners a huge gift at midnight. "Hate Sleeping Alone" is finally coming to the platform in all of its high-fidelity glory.
While it is not a new song by any means, this is still a positive development for all of the Drake lovers out there. They now get to listen to one of his grails in perfect quality, and they don't have to go out of their way to find it.
Why Isn't "Hate Sleeping Alone" On Spotify?
Since "Hate Sleeping Alone" was a bonus track, it never got proper distribution on DSPs. Apple Music has had the song for a while now, although it never found its way over to Spotify.
Excluding bonus tracks from streaming services is common practice. It's up to the artist to decide if they want to keep bonus tracks exclusive to physical releases, or if they want to give the fans a bone.
At first, Drake chose the former. However, it is a special occasion, and now, all of his fans will be eating come Friday.
