Club 's Nina Hernandez wrote positively: 'besides sampling Right Said Fred to great effect, also succeeds by including well-deployed appearances from Young Thug and Future'. Pitchfork 's Matthew StraussВ named it among the early standouts on Certified Lover Boy, pointing out how Drake 'isВ having fun the way he did on his Scary Hours 2 EPВ and Smiley's ' Over the Top'. GQ said itВ 'has the most club banger energy' on Certified Lover Boy, but acknowledged that the song and its video received mixed reactions. Referencing the trio's previous collaboration, 'D4L', Billboard 's Heran Mamo said they 'come back hotter than ever to flipВ Right Said Fred's 1991 Billboard Hot 100В No.

Michael Saponara of HipHopDX called the track a stand-out from the album. Future's verse contains 'toxic rhymes about ghosting women', with Thug closing the track, boasting about how he is able to spoil his girlfriend with expensive gifts. Drake delivers lines about safe sex, and questions a 'thotty' about her motives. Future performs the chorus, reworking the sampled track's hook, rapping about how he is 'too sexy for your girl, too sexy for the world, his fame, and his chain'. Composition ДЄ bass-heavy track, it samples British band Right Said Fred's 1991 single ' I'm Too Sexy', a former number one Billboard hit. Дrake, Future, and Thug previously collaborated on Drake's 'D4L' from his mixtape Dark Lane Demo Tapes (2020). Although that release failed to materialize, on September 13, 2021, Billboard magazine reported that the song had begun to impact US pop, rhythmic and R&B/hip-hop radio stations as the album's lead single. 'Way 2 Sexy' was initially rumored to be released on August 27, 2021, to challenge Kanye West's Donda album DJ Akademiks posted footage of the video shoot and claimed it would coincide with West's release, amid West and Drake's feud. The song began impacting US pop, rhythmic, and urban radio stations as the album's lead single simultaneously with Certified Lover Boy's release. 'Way 2 Sexy' received mixed responses from critics, particularly due to its sample and lyrics, with some deeming it an album highlight due to its upbeat sound, while others criticized it as 'cringey'. A comedic music video was released on the same day as the song and sees the artists pay homage to numerous pop culture events and icons. Released on September 3, 2021, as the lead single from Drake's sixth studio album Certified Lover Boy, it is a bass-heavy take on Right Said Fred's ' I'm Too Sexy' (1991), which it interpolates throughout the chorus and refrain. ' Way 2 Sexy' is a song by Canadian rapper Drake featuring American rappers Future and Young Thug.
