Drake's "Please Forgive Me" Premieres At Midnight On Apple Music

Earlier today, Drake confirmed that his VIEWS-inspired short film, "Please Forgive Me," will be dropping tonight, ahead of the previously announced date of September 30. Apple Music seems to be involved with the release of everything Drake-related these days, and indeed, the streaming platform has now revealed that it will exclusively share "Please Forgive Me" tonight at 12AM ET/9PM PT. 

Upon announcing "Please Forgive Me" last month, Drake revealed that the film would feature music from VIEWS, though it's unclear if that means it will contain a series of interconnected music videos like Beyonce's "Lemonade" film (or "visual album"). Earlier this month, "Child's Play" became the first VIEWS track to receive the video treatment, aside from last year's video to "Hotline Bling" (a VIEWS bonus track). Though the "Child's Play" video, starring Tyra Banks and over 12 minutes in runtime, was something of a short film in itself. 

In early 2015, Drake shared an almost 15-minute short film called "Jungle" one day before the release of If You're Reading This It's Too Late. The film included music from IYRTITL but no typical music video renditions of any of the songs. See all of Drake's Instagram posts in support of "Please Forgive Me," including a couple of new film posters, below. They seem to show snapshots from the film, and one shows Jamaican dancehall star Popcaan, a good friend and collaborator of Drake's. "Please Forgive Me" is directed by famed music video director Anthony Mandler, whose past work with Drake includes the videos to "Over," "Find Your Love," and "Miss Me." OVO's chief producer and co-founder Noah "40" Shebib is responsible for the score. 

Check back here at midnight to watch the film.
