I had a feeling someone was gonna say to me ‘April Fools.'” In an interview with Billboard Magazine, co-producer Nineteen85 told the story of the beat, he said: “We were in London a couple of years ago for Wireless Festival, and we kept playing ‘Do You Mind?’ by Kyla, which I sampled on ‘One Dance.’ I wanted to figure out how to create that I-don’t-care-who’s-looking vibe, the vibe of those parties. I was like ‘Yeah ok, who?’ and when they said Drake I was like ‘Yeah right!’ We signed papers and I still didn’t believe it. When we phoned, the company said ‘A huge international star wants to sample your tune and they wanna have a meeting with you’. You know how it is, sometimes we’ve had things come in and they fall through at the last minute. To be honest, I was really bad and kept putting them aside like ‘I’ll call later’. Kyla was asked about the collaboration with Drake by Trevor Nelson on BBC Radio 1Xtra, she said: “I got a call a while back, and I was getting loads of emails. The Production of the new song was completed in 1 week and then released in early April 2016 because he didn’t want the song to be leaked like his previous one “Controlla” in March of the same year. South African DJ Maphorisa slowed down “Do You Mind’s tempo before adding Wizkid’s background vocals. Since Drake was a big fan of Kyla’s song, he convinced his producer Nineteen85 to use her song as a bridge within their new song. Drake’s production team contacted UK singer Kyla to use her song from 2008 “Do You Mind (Crazy Cousinz remix)”, in a new afrobeat and dancehall remix to be song by Drake and Wizkid.
