Drake's 'Hate Sleeping Alone' Lands on Streaming Services
Drake has made 'Hate Sleeping Alone' available on all streaming platforms, including Spotify and YouTube. Billboard reported the move on 13 November 2026.
The song first appeared only as a bonus track on the digital edition of Drake's album 'Take Care'. It shared that edition with 'The Motto', a track featuring Lil Wayne. Anyone who did not buy the digital version could not hear it until now.
Noah "40" Shebib produced 'Hate Sleeping Alone'. Trey Songz sings background vocals on the track.
The move comes as 'Take Care' approaches its 11th anniversary on 15 November. The album is Drake's second studio record, and it has a strong chart history of its own. Its title track, which features Rihanna, reached the top 10 of the Billboard Hot 100, the main singles chart in the United States. That chart ranks songs using sales, radio airplay and streaming figures.
For listeners, the change is simple. A track that once required a particular digital download is now one search away on the apps most people already use. Streaming services also let a song reach listeners far beyond the people who bought the album in its original form.
Streaming platforms pay rights holders for each play, so a catalogue track gaining a new home on those services can add to the income of everyone who helped make it. Writers, producers and performers each have a share in that income, which is part of why a bonus track's release date matters beyond fans.
