He began a close relationship with the University of Kentucky, most famously taking the opportunity to airball a three-pointer during the Wildcat’s Big Blue Madness season-opening event in 2014 and eventually getting the university an NCAA violation. From the moment he’s entered the public eye, Drake has embraced the Venn diagram that exists between music and sports by doing everything he can to be a part of both, so much so that his fandom has become a meme.ĭrake finagles his way into sports whenever the opportunity has presents itself. Those lyrics come from “Thank Me Now,” the final track on Drake’s 2010 debut album, Thank Me Later, and they’ve set the tone for the Champagne Papi’s relationship with sports since we first heard them. “Damn, I swear sports and music are so synonymous/Cause we want to be them, and they want to be us.” So much so that there's jokes about him actually cursing guys when he rocks their gear. We've all seen him courtside at Raptors game and rocking jerseys at every turn. It's become an intergal part of his lyrics and life in general.
Including the sports world, because, well, he raps about it often. Here, the lyrics-and all the shade seemingly thrown at Gyllenhaal-to take in, via Genius.When Drake drops something new, everyone pays attention. I think that that's what it ended up being.”
We wanted this song to be like a comedic, tongue-in-cheek, funny, not caring what anyone thinks about you sort of breakup song because there are a lot of different types of heartbreak songs on Red-some of them are very sincere, some of them very stoic and heartbreaking and sad-we wanted this to be the moment where you're like, ‘I don't care about anything.’ We wanted to kind of make people laugh with it, and we wanted it to be sort of a drinking song. I'd always wanted to work with her.I wrote this with her at her house when I was playing Foxboro on the Speak Now Tour. Swift said of the track, “This is a song I wrote with Lori McKenna, who's one of my favorite singer-songwriters ever. Billboard pointed out that radio station Country 102.5 shared an audio clip of Swift talking about creating “I Bet You Think About Me” to celebrate Red's re-release. Swift spoke in 2011 about the track's meaning.
Swifties saw the song as a clear Gyllenhaal diss track, and they had plenty of jokes to make about it when the song came out Friday:
(Swift referenced Gyllenhaal's music taste in “We Are Never Ever Getting Back Together,” another track believed to be about him, too: “I'm really gonna miss you picking fights /And me falling for it, screaming that I'm right /And you would hide away and find your peace of mind /With some indie record that's much cooler than mine.”) Lines like “You grew up in a silver-spoon gated community / Glamorous, shiny, bright Beverly Hills” (Gyllenhaal was born into an industry family his father is director Stephen Gyllenhaal) and “I bet you think about me when you're out/At your cool indie music concerts every week” take aim at Gyllenhaal's lifestyle. In the song itself, Gyllenhaal gets some pretty overt lyrical shoutouts. On Sunday, Swift announced she was releasing a music video for the track on Monday morning.

The song is full of cheeky jabs at an ex-seemingly Jake Gyllenhaal, the subject of “All Too Well,” who Swift dated for three months in 2010. While Taylor Swift's 10-minute version of “All Too Well” got the most attention of her new Red re-recordings “From the Vault,” the singer is rightfully putting the spotlight on another track, “I Bet You Think About Me,” which didn't appear on the album originally.
