빌보드 핫 100에 1위로 핫샷데뷔하였으며, 드레이크의 다섯번째 1위 곡이기도 하다. 로린 힐의 Ex-Factor를 샘플링 하였으며, Murda Beatz가 프로듀싱하였다. 이 곡이 7월 14일자 빌보드 싱글 차트에서 1위를 또 다시 탈환하며, 1위를 4번 탈환한 최초의 곡이 되었다. 원래 1위를 4번 탈환한 유일무이한 곡이였지만 지금은 Mood와 As It Was의 등장으로 밀렸다.[1]
3. 평가
후기 드레이크, 나아가 드레이크 커리어 통틀어 가장 위대한 명곡 중 하나로 평가받으며, 음악적으로 혹평받는 후기 드레이크의 곡들 중 이례적으로 대다수의 평론가들이 명곡으로 극찬을 아끼지 않은 곡이다.우선, 이 곡의 가사는 '자신의 자리에서 열심히 살아가는 여성을 찬사'하는 주제의 가사로, 힙합씬에서 지적받는 여성혐오를 피하고 페미니즘적인 주제를 담은 것은 물론, 지나치게 급진적인 성향도 피함으로써[2] 보편적인 공감대를 살 만한 가사로 극찬을 받았다. 이 곡의 가사는 드레이크의 곡들 중 이례적으로 사회 이슈를 논하는 가사인데, 가사의 논조나 수위가 적절해 많은 호평을 받았다.
이렇듯 여성을 찬사하는 가사에 걸맞게, 힙합씬을 대표하는 여류 아티스트인 로린 힐의 샘플링이 적당하게 가미된 것도 호평의 원인이다. Scorpion 시기 드레이크 특유의 에너제틱한 쵸핑으로 구성된 브레이크다운은 흑인 음악의 정수를 보여주었다고 여겨진다.
종합적으로 드레이크 커리어를 통틀어 위대한 곡을 꼽을때 다섯 손가락 안에 들어가는 명곡이며, 특히 후기 드레이크의 곡들 중에선 정말 기념비적인 위치에 있는 곡이다.

[1] 그러나 이 시기는 상술로 인한 1위 강탈이 흔했던 시기로 1위 탈환이 쉽다는 점을 감안해야 한다.[2] 자신의 자리에서 최선의 성과를 내고 그에 대한 정당한 보상을 받는 것은 페미니즘과 반대의 보수적인 성향을 띠는 논제이다.
