# What happened
Drake premiered FOMO—short for Fear Of Missing Out—on September 15 as a roughly 57-minute, film-like livestream. The project was presented as a "not-so-short film" and combined music-video-style visuals with diary-like footage of everyday and luxury moments.
# The format and collaborators
FOMO was built like a hybrid: part movie, part music-video marathon, part summer diary. Directors Theo Skudra and Jake Schreier are named among the collaborators who helped shape the event.
# New music and major collaborations
The film acted as a vehicle for unreleased material. Reports indicate FOMO packed nine to ten new songs or extended previews. Notable premieres and collaborations that surfaced during the livestream:
- Don Toliver appears on a remix/interpolation of Ella Langley's "Choosin' Texas" and again on a separate track called "Cold Shoulder."
- A nameless mid-tempo record featuring Yeat was previewed.
- Late-night R&B cuts featuring PartyNextDoor were included.
Official studio versions had not reached streaming platforms immediately after the premiere, so the only available versions were what played during the livestream.
# The political line and other surprises
During the livestream, an unreleased song included a line where Drake said "Pray for Gaza." That lyric circulated on social platforms after the premiere.
# Tour announcement and release behavior
Before the livestream Drake used an interview segment to announce plans for a large world tour in 2027, billed as his next major touring cycle and his first official North American tour since 2023.
Shortly after the YouTube premiere, Drake made the film private. That removal drove fans to social platforms to find surviving clips, song snippets and recorded reactions.
# What to expect next
- Official studio releases for the previewed tracks have not been confirmed immediately following the premiere, so expect fans and outlets to monitor streaming services and Drake's channels for uploads.
# Why it matters
FOMO continued Drake's pattern of mixing direct-to-fan spectacle with music rollout strategies. It bundled new music, visuals and personal footage into a single event, then limited access by making the stream private—creating urgency among listeners and social media traffic for clips and leaks.
