"God's Plan" is a song recorded by Canadian rapper Drake, released on January 19, 2018, through Young Money and Cash Money. The song was written by Drake, Brock Korsan, and producers Cardo, Yung Exclusive, Boi-1da, Noah "40" Shebib, and acts as a single from his second EP, Scary Hours (2018), and the lead single from his fifth studio album, Scorpion (2018).
Musically, it has been described as pop, pop-rap, and trap, with lyrics addressing Drake's fame and fate.
"God's Plan" received lukewarm reviews from music critics, who called it a typical Drake song. Commercially the song became the 29th song in history to debut at number one on the US Billboard Hot 100, making it Drake's fourth chart-topper in that country, and second as a lead artist.
The single topped the charts in fourteen countries, including the UK and Canada and reached the top ten in nine others. The song broke first-day streaming records on both Apple Music and Spotify and was the most streamed song of the year on both services.
An accompanying music video for the song was directed by Karena Evans and uploaded onto Drake's official YouTube channel on February 16, 2018. In the video, Drake is giving away nearly one million US dollars to people and institutions in Florida.
It received five nominations at the 2018 MTV Video Music Awards, including for Video of the Year and three nominations at the 61st Grammy Awards for Record of the Year, Song of the Year, and Best Rap Song, winning the latter.
