About
Song Bio

“Glow” describes how far Kanye and Drake have come since starting out in the music industry, and how they are going to continue to shine in the spotlight for a long time. The duo boasts about fame and the luxury that comes along with it, two things that many ordinary people crave over the duration of their whole life.

This is Drake and Kanye’s first collaboration since the single version of 2016’s “Pop Style,” which also featured Jay Z. It also is the first track released since ‘Ye dissed Drizzy late last year.

What did Drake say about "Glow"?
Genius Answer

Kanye tweeted “GLOW” in August 2016, likely having something to do with the recording of this track.

So, is this a song that came out before the "For Free" diss or a peace treaty?
Genius Answer

This song was most likely recorded around August 2016—before Kanye’s November rant. That August, three things happened that relate to this song. First, Kanye appeared on-stage at Drake’s OVO Fest and teased their joint album. Second, a billboard appeared in Los Angeles with both the OVO and GOOD Music logos that read “Calabasas is the new Abu Dhabi.” And finally, Kanye tweeted the word “GLOW” on August 22nd.

How did the song perform commercially?
Genius Answer

“Glow” debuted and peaked at #54 on the Billboard Hot 100 for the chart week ending April 8, 2017.
