"Which One" is a song by Canadian rapper Drake and British rapper Central Cee. It was released on July 25, 2025, through OVO Sound and Republic Records, as the second single from the former's upcoming ninth studio album Iceman. The track marks the second official collaboration between the two artists following 2023's "On the Radar Freestyle". The song reached #1 on US Rhythmic Radio in October 2025.[1]
Background and promotion
[edit | edit source]Following the release of "On the Radar Freestyle" in July 2023, Central Cee was asked in a January 2025 interview, coinciding with the release of his debut studio album Can't Rush Greatness, about the possibility of another collaboration with Drake. At the time, he revealed that they had another song "in the vault" but felt including it on the album would be too "predictable". He confirmed they had worked on additional material but preferred to save it for a future release.[2]
A snippet of the track was first previewed during Drake's "Iceman: Episode 1" livestream. Drake would again preview the track on July 12, 2025, during his Wireless Festival performance in London.[3] On July 24, just three weeks after releasing the single "What Did I Miss?", Drake premiered "Which One" during a second livestream titled "Iceman: Episode 2".[4] The livestream had been teased the day prior, suggesting the imminent release of a new single, much like the rollout for "What Did I Miss?".[5] The song debuted in a segment where both artists are seen watching a woman dance in an empty swimming pool.[6]
Composition and lyrics
[edit | edit source]"Which One" is described as an "island-tinged" track, blending smooth rap with Caribbean-inspired rhythms.[7] Drake opens the song in a familiar mode, addressing a potential love interest who stands out from her friends. Central Cee continues the narrative, asking the woman if she's "here for a good time or a long time".[8]
The production features a pulsating beat with a "subdued menace" that gives space for both "paranoia and pride" to emerge. With no prominent chorus, the track functions as a back-and-forth exchange, allowing each artist to share their perspective in distinct styles.[9]
Unofficial remix
[edit | edit source]In August 2025, an unofficial remix by a Dutch DJ known as DJ Noon, featuring the instrumental version of "1er Gaou" by Magic System, gained popularity on TikTok, appearing in over 70,000 videos at the beginning of the month.[10]
