About “Do Not Disturb”

As the final cut on More Life, “Do Not Disturb” picks up where “Lose You” left off, showing Drake at his most pensive state. With Drake’s vulnerability on full-display, “Do Not Disturb” working as a behind-the-scenes look at everything that happened to Drake since the release of Views. Drake jumps from topic to topic, addressing everything from his seemingly omnipresent rap feuds to his difficulty with maintaining romantic relationships.

FADER a day after the official release of More Life:

I thought it was a really special moment on his album. It’s the last track and he’s unloading a lot. It’s really special to be a part of that. I’m unloading on the original song as well, so it just felt like it came full circle.

The song also continues his trend of ending his albums with a heavy rap no hook verse.

Ex: “The calm”, “Thank me now”, “The Ride”, “Pound Cake / Paris Morton Music 2”, “Ghostwriting open letter”, “30 for 30 Freestyle”, and more recently “Views”.

The title “Do Not Disturb” is important to mention. As the ending song it says a statement to his enemies and his critics. He doesn’t want to be disturbed, and shows the people who support him to read the lyrics and enjoy the music until he releases more. The album’s title More Life shows this concept too, but in a different way: “More life to everyone, more life for people to learn to understand me, and more life for the people that understands me to enjoy.”
