"Wait for U" is a song by American rapperFuture featuring Canadian rapperDrake and Nigerian singerTems. It was sent torhythmic contemporary radio as the second single from Future's ninth studio album,I Never Liked You, on May 3, 2022. The song samples Tems' song, "Higher", from her debut extended play,For Broken Ears (2020).[1] Future and Drake wrote the song with producersFnZ (Finatik and Zac) andATL Jacob, alongside Tejiri Akpoghene and Tems, who are credited songwriters for the sampling of "Higher", andFloyd E. Bentley III.[2] "Wait for U" is anR&B song that lyrically discusses the occasional toxicity of a romantic relationship.[3]

"Wait For U" debuted at number one on the USBillboard Hot 100, becoming Future's second (first as a lead artist), Drake's tenth, and Tems' first number-one hit on the Hot 100, and peaked within the top 10 of the charts in many other countries, including Canada, United Kingdom and New Zealand. The song received two nominations at the65th Annual Grammy Awards:Best Rap Song andBest Melodic Rap Performance, winning the latter.

Critical reception

[edit]

Michael Di Gennaro ofExclaim! felt that "Wait for U" is one of "the most Drake-sounding Future songs from a production standpoint" with "tender moments that harken back to the popstar aspirations Future once had when writing songs forRihanna andCiara".[4] In a negative review,HipHopDX music critic Anthony Malone opined that both "Wait for U" and "I'm on One", another track fromI Never Liked You that Drake is featured on, do not "match the toxic king chemistry of their previous collaborations", adding that "like an old rock star who can still play the hits off muscle memory, Drake and Future recite the same stories of one-night stands, DM debauchery and drug-filled nights at the club in their sleep" and "however, their charisma is notably absent from the music.[5] In a similar review, Alphonse Pierre ofPitchfork said that the sample of "Higher" by Tems "is a cheat code to a catchy song, but Future and Drake are on such autopilot that I'd rather listen to the original".[6]

Music video

[edit]
The video was filmed at the Gothic Revival castle-style mansionCasa Loma inToronto.

The official music video for "Wait for U", directed byDirector X, was released on May 5, 2022. It is a medieval-themed video that deals with love and betrayal. The video includes cameo appearances fromMoxie Raia, Cecilia Rose, producerATL Jacob,Strick, and Trey Richards. Drake plays a knight that delivers a note to a queen for Future, who plays a "toxic" king.[7] On the way to deliver the note, Drake engages in a sword fight and saves a woman.[8] At the end of the video, Future wins a duel against another man as the queen reads his note, rolls her eyes and throws it away. Future's note is a reference to a leaked text exchange of his from 2018 in which he told a woman he did not want to see her.[7] The music video was filmed atCasa Loma inToronto,Canada.[9]
