Drizzy Drake is getting his fans ready for his upcoming third album with the release of the first single. Drake leaked the song, ‘Started from the Bottom’ on his website over the weekend. While Drake had originally planned to release the song on February 10th, but decided to do so before then.

 

On his website, he explained why he chose to release the song via his website and the meaning behind the song and why he chose to release it via his website. In a statement, Drake said,

 

 

“My good friends, it has truly been too long. I assume you’re all keeping well and making the most of this year that has been given to us. Today is the day to begin sharing my newest work with you. This is the first single off of my upcoming album. I feel sometimes that people don’t have enough information about my beginnings and therefore they make up a life story for me that isn’t consistent with actual events. My family and my second family (consisting of the best friends anybody could ever have) all struggled and worked extremely hard to make all this happen. I did not buy my way into this spot and it was the furthest thing from easy to achieve. I am proud of every part of my past and I’m excited for this song to find a place in your life as well. I didn’t feel I needed any interviews or radio or press to launch this song. It felt right to come back to the site that I started on and release it to the people that started here with me.”
