"Find Your Love" is a song by Canadian rapper Drake. The song was written by Drake, Patrick Reynolds, Jeff Bhasker, and Kanye West and produced by the latter two and No I.D. It serves as the second single from his debut album, Thank Me Later (2010), and was released to radio on April 28, 2010, and digital download on May 1. 5, 2010. The song became a hit on June 17, 2010.

The midtempo song received mostly positive reviews from critics. It debuted in the top forty in the United States. The song's accompanying music video chronicles Drake's fateful encounter with a gang-affiliated woman.

Background

"Find Your Love" was co-written and produced by American rapper Kanye West, making it his fourth collaboration with Drake after directing the video for "Best I Ever Had", co-appearing with Drake on Jamie Foxx's song "Digital Girl", and guest appearing on Drake's "Forever". When speaking to MTV News in 2009, Drake called West "the most influential person on his sound", stating,

"Before I ever got the chance to meet him, Kanye West shaped a lot of what I do, as far as music goes, We always, always, always took the time to listen to Kanye's music and appreciate it beyond. We searched the samples and find out where his inspiration came from, because he has one of the best ears in music, period. He knows how to recognize great music that's not his. He knows how to utilize great sounds and great music. So before I met him, I had the utmost respect for Kanye West. I'd even go as far as to say he's the most influential person, as far as a musician, that I'd ever had in my life."

Co-writer and frequent West collaborator Jeff Bhasker discussed the song's conception:

"I think No I.D had that drum beat and that's the classic, 'Jeff jump on the piano,' and Kanye started humming in my ear. We started coming up with a melody, I started crafting the music and we wrote that relatively quickly, within an hour."

"Find Your Love" was originally written for Rihanna, who collaborated with Drake on her song "What's My Name?", which was released later that year to profound commercial success. In a later interview with MTV News Drake said that he felt the song should have been performed by a woman, stating, "Find Your Love is an extremely vulnerable song. And it's actually a huge risk. It almost feels like the song should be performed by a woman. I'm just hoping that men really hear the song and they're honest with themselves. I know a lot of men feel that way." The song was posted on Drake's official blog on April 29, 2010, but was later removed due to bandwidth issues.

Composition and critical reception

"Find Your Love" is a dancehall-leaning R&B song that contains a "traditional soulful R&B vibe" with "a Jamaican beat". The song received positive reviews, with critics commending Drake's attempt at moving into the singing lane, and comparing it to its producer, Kanye West's work on 808s & Heartbreak. The Star Phoenix said the song featured a beat that could be on 808s and Heartbreak and that Drake showed off his “versatility” and "smooth singing on this slow-jam", stating, "I better find your loving / I better find your heart," he sings (over and over and over) on the chorus to this bump-'n'-grind single." Ryan Brockington of the New York Post said the song consisted of "dripping double-drum beats, 80s filtered vocals and a catchy little chorus".

Jayson Rodriguez of MTV News said that the song features "Drake in full crooner mode as he sings about saving his relationship: "I'm more than just an option," he sings over sparse drums and piano licks. "Refuse to be forgotten / I took a chance with my heart / And I feel it taking over / I better find your loving / I better find your heart." Andrew Martin of Prefix Magazine said that the beat sounded "right off 808s and Heartbreak, and that the track was "intriguing and slightly unexpected". Clinton Yates of The Washington Post complimented the song, but said that the song lacked Drake's lyrical talent. Find Your Love was named the eighth-best song of 2010 by Time. The song was nominated for Record of the Year at the 2010 Soul Train Music Awards.

Drake - Find Your Love (Extended Version)

Lyrics:

I'm more than just an option (hey, hey, hey)
Refuse to be forgotten (hey, hey, hey)
I took a chance with my heart (hey, hey, hey)
And I feel it taking over

I better find your loving, I better find your heart
I better find your loving, I better find your heart
I better find your loving, I better find your heart
I bet if I give all my love then nothing's gonna tear us apart

I'm more than just a number (hey, hey, hey)
I doubt you'll find another (hey, hey, hey)
So every single summer (hey, hey, hey)
I'll be the one that you'll remember

And I better find your loving, I better find your heart
I better find your loving, I better find your heart
I better find your loving, I better find your heart
I bet if I give all my love then nothing's gonna tear us apart

It's more than just a mission (hey, hey, hey)
You hear, but you don't listen (hey, hey, hey)
You better pay attention (hey, hey, hey)
And get what you've been missing

Too many times I've been wrong
I guess being right takes too long
I'm done waiting, there's nothing left to do
But give all I have to you and

I better find your loving (find your loving)
I better find your heart (I better find your heart)
I better find your loving (I better find your loving)
I bet if I give all my love then nothing's gonna tear us apart
(Tear us apart)

I bet if I give all my love then nothing's gonna tear us apart
(Tear us apart)
