Drake finally drops the video for "Headlines" and he takes us on a tour of his hometown of Toronto. He told Billboard.com's The Juice that this song isn't the strongest song on his sophomore album Take Care. Drake says he chooses songs based on what's good for the moment, stating:
"I always try to put forth a song with a message. A lot of people pick their single by what's the strongest song. I don't really do that. I like to make sure that the content is very relevant to right now. I want people to party to it but at the same time the fans, the people that care about my career, the people that follow me, will hear a message in it."The video was directed by Lamar Taylor and Highley Alleyne of The Weekend's XO team and has a flashing effect that is in line with the song's beat. Scenes of Drake with his team in the streets of Toronto, in an elevator continuously moving up and at the head of a dinner table (Mafioso style) in a Cosby-inspired sweater are all images meant to evoke feelings of Drake's achieved fame and a definite shout-out to Toronto. "Headlines" is currently #2 in Billboard's R&B/Hip-Hop Chart and #23 in the Hot 100 Chart.
"I might be too strung out on compliments,
Overdosed on confidence"
