In My Feelings

The harmony of 'In My Feelings' is deliberately minimal, serving the bounce aesthetic where rhythm, vocal hooks, and call-and-response energy take precedence over harmonic sophistication. The i-VI-VII loop in Bb minor creates a dark, hypnotic groove that never resolves to a dominant chord, maintaining constant forward momentum. This harmonic simplicity is a deliberate production choice by 40, TrapMoneyBenny, and BlaqNmilD — the song's power lies in its rhythmic drive and vocal earworm, not chord changes. The lack of a traditional dominant-tonic resolution gives the track its restless, bouncing energy.

Drake crafted 'In My Feelings' as a deeply personal track referencing several women in his life through playful nicknames. 'Kiki' refers to Keshia Chanté, Drake's first girlfriend and childhood friend from Toronto, while 'KB' references K'yanna Barber from Oakland, California, and 'Jenny' alludes to Jennifer Lopez, whom Drake briefly dated in 2016. The song also name-checks City Girls members Yung Miami ('Resha') and JT, who contribute uncredited vocals. The track draws heavily on New Orleans bounce music, sampling Magnolia Shorty's 'Smoking Gun (Acapella Version)' for the breakdown and Lil Wayne's 'Lollipop', anchoring it in Southern hip-hop tradition.

Released as the fifth single from Drake's double album Scorpion (2018), 'In My Feelings' fuses New Orleans bounce rhythms with Drake's melodic rap style over production by 40, TrapMoneyBenny, and BlaqNmilD. The song became a cultural phenomenon through the viral 'Kiki Challenge' and features uncredited vocals from City Girls, sampling Magnolia Shorty and Lil Wayne.
