"In My Feelings" is a song by Canadian rapper Drake from his fifth studio album Scorpion (2018). It was released to rhythmic and contemporary hit radio on July 10, 2018, as the album's fifth single.^[1][2] The song features additional vocals by the City Girls, though they are uncredited on the official version.^[3] The song topped the Billboard Hot 100 chart for ten weeks and broke several records.^[4]

"In My Feelings" is a bounce track.^[5] Upon its release, several outlets reported that the song and "Kiki" was about Keshia Chanté,^[6] Drake's first girlfriend and childhood friend from Toronto.^{[7][8][9][10]} It was also reported that "KB" was K'yanna Barber, a resident of Oakland, California.^[11][12] Drake also makes references to Jennifer Lopez ("Jenny"), whom he briefly dated in 2016, and Quality Control duo City Girls, made up of members Yung Miami ("Resha") and JT.^[13] The City Girls also provide uncredited vocals.^[3]

The track samples "Smoking Gun (Acapella Version)" by Magnolia Shorty for the breakdown.^[5] "Lollipop" by Lil Wayne is also sampled and the track ends with audio from the episode "Champange Papi" from the television series Atlanta.^[14] The song was later slightly altered and re-uploaded to streaming sites with additional sampled vocals from Lil Wayne.^[3]

The song inspired an Internet meme dance challenge known as the "Kiki Challenge", "In My Feelings Challenge" or "DoTheShiggy", the latter being a reference to the comedian Shiggy, who posted a video on his Instagram account of him dancing to the song; this video was credited for inspiring the challenge.^[15] The dance challenge is to walk outside of moving vehicles (ghost riding) and dance in oncoming traffic.^[16][17][18] Originating in the US, the challenge later spread to other parts of the world where in some countries it caused controversy and public concern.^[19] The challenge is subject to fines on public roads in the Philippines.^[20]

The Fader deemed the bounce track as the highlight of the double album, with writer Ben Dandrige-Lemco saying, "it takes a whole 20 songs to get to the best part of the album, 'In My Feelings'".^[5] The Hollywood Reporter's Jonny Coleman felt that the song, along with "Nice for What", "might be two of the most enduring tracks [in the album]".^[21] Andy Hutchins of Time called the song "a disastrous misunderstanding of New Orleans bounce."^[22]

Billboard named "In My Feelings" the 42nd-best song of 2018.^[23]

In the Billboard magazine issue dated July 14, 2018, "In My Feelings" debuted at number six on the Billboard Hot 100, one of seven top 10 entries by Drake that week. The following week, partly due to the rising popularity of the dance challenge associated with the song,^[24] it ascended to the top spot of the chart, becoming Drake's sixth number-one single on the chart.^[25] On the issue dated July 28, 2018, "In My Feelings" broke the streaming record for the most streams in a single week with 116.2 million streams (later being broken by "Old Town Road" by Lil Nas X & Billy Ray Cyrus on the week of April 13, 2019, which has the current record of 143 million streams^[26]) and retained the top spot on the chart.^[27] It remained on top for ten consecutive weeks until it was unseated by "Girls Like You" by Maroon 5 featuring Cardi B. It ultimately remained in the top ten for 14 weeks. It also reached number one on the Canadian Hot 100 and the UK Singles Chart.

In the UK, it did not enter the charts on the first week due to chart rules, but the next week, due to the popularity of the dance challenge, it entered at number four. A week later, it rose to number one, becoming Drake's fifth number one in the UK and his third consecutive number one in 2018. "In My Feelings" spent four weeks at the top of the chart, before being replaced by "Shotgun" by George Ezra.
