What If I Kissed You
Drake · Other Songs - Drake
How would we explain it
Trying to imagine how it might sound
If I just yelled out
What if I kissed you right now
Would it bring us any closer
Take a weight off our shoulders
Take me I'm yours
And I don't really care who knows it
Can you afford to be open with all these emotions
If you were a secret how long could you keep it
Keep it to yourself don't tell nobody else
Not a problem ....
...
And you just be mine
And you just be mine
And you just be mine (just, just be mine)
And you just be mine
What if I kissed you right now
[x3]
Would it bring us any closer
Take a weight off our shoulders
Tell on me I don't mind cause if they ask me about it I won't lie..

Drake's 'What If I Kissed You' stands as a defining track from his 2010 debut album, 'Thank Me Later.' Released during the height of his rise to mainstream prominence, the song blends his signature melodic rap style with a polished, R&B-inflected production that became a staple of early 2010s hip-hop. The recording showcases Drake's ability to balance playful, flirtatious themes with a mature vocal delivery, establishing him as a versatile artist capable of navigating both pop and underground sensibilities. As a key component of his initial discography, the track contributed to his rapid ascent in the music industry and remains a recognizable example of his early work, reflecting the era's shift toward more melodic, radio-friendly hip-hop. It is often cited alongside other early hits like 'Fancy' and 'Headlines' as a pivotal moment in his career trajectory.
