Trust Issues
"Trust Issues" is a song by Canadian rapper Drake. It was originally released as a free download on June 21, 2011, and released in the UK on June 8, 2014, via Harlem King Entertainment. "Trust Issues" was initially unavailable on major music streaming services until its re-release on his compilation album Care Package, which was released on August 2, 2019, by OVO Sound. It is a slow, melodic, atmospheric R&B track that served as a promotional single to his 2011 studio album Take Care.
For the song, Drake led the songwriting, delving into the complexities of trust, loyalty, and betrayal in relationships under the pressure of fame. The track also explores themes of coping through substances like purple lean. Production was handled by 40 and T-Minus. "Trust Issues" incorporates elements from DJ Khaled's "I'm on One" (which features Drake).
The song inspired remixes and covers, including a remix by the Weeknd on June 25, 2011, and a profanity-free cover by Justin Bieber on August 28, 2011, which Drake praised as "crazy". August Alsina's version appeared on his untitled debut mixtape. It received positive critical reception from music critics, with some labeling it an "acclaimed track". Commercially, upon re-release, it peaked at number 58 on the US Billboard Hot 100, and number 63 on the Canadian Hot 100. Certifications include platinum in Australia and New Zealand, and silver in the United Kingdom.
