(Photo by David Wolff - Patrick/Redferns) David Wolff - Patrick—Redferns  by [Cady Lang](https://time.com/author/cady-lang/)  ## Cady Lang Mar 20, 2017 8:18 PM UTC Drake, Canadian rapper, [meme hero](http://time.com/4079654/drake-hotline-bling-dancing-memes/) and [frequent poster boy for unrequited love](http://time.com/4465225/drake-rihanna-relationship/), just gave quite the shout-out to his music collaborator, [Jennifer Lopez](http://motto.time.com/4618803/jennifer-lopez-drake-dating-rihanna/). His association with the star appeared to be purely professional, even though a potential romantic union had untapped potential for a truly great couple moniker (because, who wouldn’t have enjoyed “Dra-Lo?”) Not one to hide his emotions, Drake released a 22-song “playlist” (not an album) titled _More Life_ over the weekend, which opens with the song “Free Smoke” featuring the 6 god confessing, “I drunk text J. Lo/Old numbers so I bounce back/Boy Wonder gotta bounce back.” If that wasn’t a blatant enough hint that Drake still had lots of feelings about J. Lo, a later song on the playlist called “Teenage Fever” samples her hit song “If You Had My Love” and includes the acutely on-brand lyrics “Your heart is hard to carry after dark / You’re to blame for what we could have been / ’Cause look at what we are.” J. Lo, for her part, is busy canoodling in the [Bahamas](http://people.com/bodies/jennifer-lopez-beach-photo/) and [Miami](http://people.com/music/jennifer-lopez-hangs-out-alex-rodriguez-sister-susy-dunand/) with her [rumored new flame, A-Rod](http://motto.time.com/4696496/jennifer-lopez-alex-rodriguez-drake-dating/). ```json [{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"NewsArticle","@id":"https://time.com/4707007/drake-j-lo-drunk-texts/","mainEntityOfPage":{"@type":"WebPage","@id":"https://time.com/4707007/drake-j-lo-drunk-texts/"},"headline":"Drake's New Songs Blatantly Hint It's Impossible to Get Over Jennifer Lopez","datePublished":"2017-03-20T20:18:43.000Z","dateModified":"2026-04-13T07:42:02.767Z","description":"The 6 god is in his feelings","url":"https://time.com/4707007/drake-j-lo-drunk-texts/","keywords":["Newsfeed","Entertainment","Music","Drake","celebrity","Jennifer Lopez","Culture"],"thumbnailUrl":"https://static.time.com/v3/assets/bltea6093859af6183b/blta2666a0d03a957ce/6988bf1ef887dc99aee9980a/drake-j-lo-drunk-texts.jpg?branch=production&width=1200&quality=75&auto=webp&crop=1200:675&height=675","author":[{"@type":"Person","name":"Cady Lang","jobTitle":null,"url":"https://time.com/author/cady-lang/"}],"articleSection":"","image":[{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://static.time.com/v3/assets/bltea6093859af6183b/blta2666a0d03a957ce/6988bf1ef887dc99aee9980a/drake-j-lo-drunk-texts.jpg?branch=production&width=1200&quality=75&auto=webp&crop=1200:675&height=675","width":1200,"height":675,"headline":"Drake Performs At l'AccorHotels Arena","caption":"Drake Performs At l'AccorHotels Arena","creditText":"David Wolff - Patrick—Redferns","representativeOfPage":true}],"publisher":{"@type":"Organization","name":"Time","url":"https://time.com/","logo":{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://time.com/images/logo.png","width":528,"height":156},"foundingDate":"March 3, 1923","sameAs":["https://www.facebook.com/time","https://www.instagram.com/time/?hl=en","https://twitter.com/time","https://www.pinterest.com/timemagazine"]}},{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"BreadcrumbList","itemListElement":[{"@type":"ListItem","position":1,"item":{"@id":"/tag/time-section-newsfeed/","name":"Newsfeed"}},{"@type":"ListItem","position":2,"item":{"@id":"https://time.com/4707007/drake-j-lo-drunk-texts/","name":"Drake's New Songs Blatantly Hint It's Impossible to Get Over Jennifer Lopez"}}]}] ```
