"Too Good"
Song

"Too Good" is a song by Canadian rapper Drake, recorded for his fourth studio album Views. It features vocals by Barbadian singer Rihanna. It samples "Love Yuh Bad" performed by Popcaan. The song was released as the fourth single from the album in the UK on May 15, 2016; and serviced to US contemporary hit radio on July 26, 2016, as the fifth single in that market.[2] The artists co-wrote the track with its producers Nineteen85, Maneesh Bidaye, and Dwayne Chin-Quee, with additional writing from Andrew Hershey, Andre Sutherland and A. Martin. It reached number 9 in Canada, number 3 in the UK, and number 14 on the US Billboard Hot 100.

Production and composition

"Too Good" was written by Drake, Paul Jefferies, Robyn Fenty, Maneesh Bidaye, Dwayne Chin-Quee, Andrew Hershey, Andre Sutherland and A. Martin, and produced by Nineteen85 and Supa Dups. In addition to Drake's lead vocals, the track features a guest appearance from Rihanna and contains vocal and lyrical samples of "Love Yuh Bad" performed by Popcaan.[3] It is the fourth collaboration between Drake and Rihanna after "What's My Name?", "Take Care" and "Work".[4]

Critical reception

Matthew Ramirez of Pitchfork Media named the song "The Best New Track" of the day and "Too Good" a highlight from Views. Ramirez stated, "Too Good is a vestige of the same creative juices that flowed through Work's Caribbean-inspired polyrhythm. (A similar influence is all over Views.) Drake clumsily interprets a Popcaan song that nineteen85 (of dvsn) ends up sampling anyway, but give him some credit for embracing his fake patois. This is one of a few songs on Views that benefits from his unabashed shamelessness in the same way that texting someone at 4 a.m. and claiming you did it on accident is shameless. ("I wanna benefit from the friendship/I wanna get the late night message" is the Drake-iest moment here.) People always feel unappreciated and overworked in their relationships, and here Drake and Rihanna nail that dynamic as only they can—mixing blunt neediness with lust."[5]

Ed Masley of AZCentral said it revisited "the Caribbean dancehall rhythms" of Rihanna's “Work", and going on to note that Drake "and his greatest female duet partner trade off verses in a richly detailed he-said/she-said portrait of what may be going through the other person's head while you're busy convincing yourself that you're the only person putting any effort into this relationship."[6]
