Best I Ever Had

About Best I Ever Had

"Best I Ever Had" is a song recorded by Canadian rapper Drake for his debut EP So Far Gone. It first became prominent from the release of Drake's third mixtape of the same name. The song is also included on Drake's debut studio album Thank Me Later, as a bonus track on the Japanese version of the album, and on iTunes in several countries. It was released as the third single from the album in the United Kingdom on October 11, 2010, as a double-A-side single with "Fancy". The song's popularity helped Drake decide to release So Far Gone as an EP, available for purchase. The song samples "Fallin' in Love" by Hamilton, Joe Frank & Reynolds and "Do It For The Boy" by Lil Wayne. "Best I Ever Had" peaked at number two on the US Billboard Hot 100, becoming Drake's first top-ten single. It remained his highest charting single as a lead artist (as both Rihanna collaborations What's My Name? and Work reached #1) in the United States until "One Dance" (2016) peaked at number one. The song was nominated for two Grammy Awards: Best Rap Solo Performance and Best Rap Song. In early 2010 it was also nominated for Single of the Year at the 2010 Juno Awards, but lost to Michael Bublé's "Haven't Met You Yet". more »
