Drake releases new song, “Search & Rescue”

In the newly released song “Search & Rescue,” Drake is looking for a long-term lover to relieve him of his celebrity bachelor lifestyle.

“Come and rescue me/ Take me out the club, take me out the trap,” he sings. “Take me off the market, take me off the map/ I’m tryna hit the group chat and tell ’em it’s a wrap.”

Dropped Friday, “Search & Rescue” features a sample of Kim Kardashian from a 2021 episode of Keeping Up With the Kardashians.

“I didn’t come this far just to come this far and not be happy, remember that,” Kim says in the clip when speaking to mother Kris Jenner about wanting to divorce Kanye West. 

Fans heard the sample when the song was previewed before its release. It was believed Kim could be the woman in the single’s artwork.

Amid chatter suggesting Drake was rehashing old issues with Ye, Drake’s dad, Dennis Graham, stepped in to defend him. “Drake is not trolling anyone, it’s just a song,” he commented under a TMZ post, per Complex. “Why try and create a Kanye and Drake beef again?”
