“Peak” is a song about Drake’s relationship issues with certain women, and could possibly allude to Jorja Smith or RAYE, two alleged love interests from 2017 and 2018 respectively.
The high number of references to English culture hint that this song is about a British girl. The song title, “Peak”, is London slang essentially meaning ‘unfortunate’ – his relationship with this girl got peak and didn’t work out.
Lyrics of Peak
Treat you like princess
Rest in heaven, Diana
Piquing my interest
She got peak like Montana
England breeds proper girls
Where are all your good manners?
Reply with pleasantries
Honestly, I can't stand ya
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
Oh, oh, oh, you gon' make me turn up on you
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
Oh, oh, oh, you gon' make me turn up on you
What you thought of me?
Never had me missin' a beat
That's just a view from a cheap seat
They don't want problems with me
Talk used to be cheap; nowadays, it's free
People are only as tough as their phone allows them to be
Girl, that could never be me
I found my peace, I'm about to say my piece
You might not agree with me
Bitch been with this boy, yeah, for four weeks
I told her go on a date
All of a sudden, she married
Didn't say get bloodclaat married
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
Oh, oh, oh, you gon' make me turn up on you
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
Oh, oh, oh, you gon' make me turn up on you
What I'm sayin', in today really at our big, big age if you're gettin' with someone right now and you're linking them for couple weeks, they should know 'This is the girl I kinda want to see' so lemme lock off the ting but obviously in the world that we live in today is not like that
He is... did that—but obviously it takes time—you're chattin' shit. First of all you shouldn't have no problems at the beginning, it should be like honeymoon–
That's what I said, that's what I said! The beginning is always honeymoon season
Yeah, well you overdo it and he's overdoin' it. Both of you are overdoin' it right now
Yeah, well, alright
