Hotline Bling" is a song by Canadian Toronto-based rapper Drake, which serves as the lead single from his fourth studio album Views. While the song itself is only credited as a bonus track to the album it is present on all editions of the album.[1][2]
Music critics were complimentary about the presentation of Drake's emotional side, as well as its production, but criticized its lyrical content. A Director X–directed music video for the song was also released. It subsequently gained popularity on YouTube and spawned several parodies of it. It has been included on several year-end critics' polls. "Hotline Bling" reached number two on the Billboard Hot 100, making it Drake's highest-charting single at the time in the United States (tying with "Best I Ever Had" in 2009). "Hotline Bling" also reached number three in Canada and the United Kingdom. It received a nomination for Best Rap Song and Best Rap/Sung Performance at the 2017 Grammy Awards
