On “Greece,” the rapper/singer sings in a French accents. The lyrics are: “Come with me, leave all of your things, yeah / We can stop at Gucci, stop at Louis V, yeah / Come with me, fly you out to Greece / Full speed, survoler Paris.”

Fans pointed out the similarities between Drake and Weeknd on social media. One person wrote, “Drake Sounded Like The Weekend In Greece I Couldn’t Tell If It Was The Weekend Signing Or Drake.” Another person tweeted, “I like Greece by Drake, but song low-key sounds like a demo. Bro can we get the official version with The Weeknd?”

SIDE NOTE

The Weeknd has been credited for shaping Drake’s sound, particularly on his 2011 album Take Care, but his producer Noah “40” Shebib denies that.
