Drake Laugh Now Cry Later Certified Lover Boy
Drake is back, releasing his new single "Laugh Now Cry Later" with Lil Durk and announcing his new album "Certified Lover Boy."

It was reported earlier this year that, among a bunch of new trademarks, Drake had secured the rights to use "Certified Lover Boy" in his future business endeavors. At the time, it just seemed like a fun thing for Drake to be doing. For much of his career, he had been clowned for keeping his heart on his sleeve in his music. Now, he's celebrating his status as a lover boy, using the title for his upcoming album.

Teasing the people with a video of him on a jet ski, Drake said that we should all keep our eyes peeled because, at midnight, he was coming through. Indeed, he arrived with a brand new single featuring Lil Durk, called "Laugh Now Cry Later."

Directed by Dave Meyers, "Laugh Now Cry Later" was filmed at the Nike Headquarters, featuring appearances from Marshawn Lynch, Odell Beckham Jr, Kevin Durant, and others.

It is the first track off of his new album Certified Lover Boy, which is due to release in the coming months. Hopefully, we see it arrive on the sooner end of that scale.

Let us know what you're thinking of it. We've included some of the most popular reactions below.

Great news! My boys have been dancing and ‘flossing’ to the new song all night so I’m glad I came on here to find out more. They will be so pleased to hear. Hopefully some more fun dance challenges to come on this album.

Sure you don't want something that has more street cred, like "Lightskin Livin' Lavish?"

His armor his cracks in it. Not the same hype around his projects anymore and his white privilege is wearing off.

Old heads in shambles. Drake is your favorite rapper's favorite rapper. He outsells both Eminem and the Beatles, and he outsells your favorite rappers every year, so you feel obligated to hate him. Keep streaming EA (Deluxe), WUNNA (Deluxe) and My Turn (Deluxe)

The title’s not bad, feels like channeling Prince or something. If it’s a nice album it’ll be thought about better
