Scratch that—the best drill artist in the world."[7][8][9] "Only You Freestyle" is a [UK drill](/source/UK_drill) track produced by M1onthebeat, who "gives the pair an eerie backdrop laden with drilly 808s and lurching bass for them to deliver their barrage of crud talk and bravado."[10] It is the third drill-styled track released by Drake in 2020, following "[War](/source/War_(Drake_song))" and "Demons" from his commercial mixtape, *[Dark Lane Demo Tapes](/source/Dark_Lane_Demo_Tapes)* (2020).[5] ## Critical reception *[Complex](/source/Complex_(magazine))* complimented the production by M1onthebeat, writing that the producer "uses just a few key elements to huge effect—an ethereal vocal harmony here, some clicking 808s there and a shuddering bass line throughout—all of it coming together for a mood that's grand and cinematic in its scope. Like all good drill instrumentals though, the crucial part is that it holds back just enough to let the bars take the limelight."[11] ## Music video A music video directed by Nathan James Tettey and Theo Skudra was released alongside the song on 20 July 2020 via Headie One's [YouTube](/source/YouTube) channel. Drake performs his verse in a parking lot accompanied by OVO affiliates, with Headie One performing in a dimly-lit building. Artwork was created by British artist MLDNCM.[12] ## Charts Chart (2020) Peak position Australia (ARIA)[13] 51 Belgium (Ultratip Bubbling Under Flanders)[14] 24 Canada Hot 100 (Billboard)[15] 37 Ireland (IRMA)[16] 13 Netherlands (Single Top 100)[17] 54 New Zealand Hot Singles (RMNZ)[18] 6 Scotland Singles (OCC)[19] 76 Switzerland (Schweizer Hitparade)[20] 75 UK Singles (OCC)[21] 5 US Bubbling Under Hot 100 (Billboard)[22] 18 ## Certifications Region Certification Certified units/sales Canada (Music Canada)[23] Gold 40,000‡ New Zealand (RMNZ)[24] Gold 15,000‡ United Kingdom (BPI)[25] Platinum 600,000‡ ‡ Sales+streaming figures based on certification alone. ## Release history Release history for "Only You Freestyle" Region Date Format Label Ref.
