In a swiftly deleted Instagram post on October 12, 2015, Drake expressed his frustration at the leak of “Can I” but stated his plans to finish the song and place it on his then-forthcoming fourth studio album, Views. However, the song did not end up on the album but was instead officially released on August 2, 2019 as part of the compilation album Care Package. “Can I” marks the second collaboration between two titans of the music world.
