The song was released for digital download on October 29, 2016, through Young Money Entertainment and Cash Money Records.
Composition and lyrics
"Fake Love" features an R&B beat. Lyrically, it focuses on peers who only appreciate Drake for his success, and would not care for him otherwise, hence the lyric, "fake people showing fake love to me".
The lyrics "That's when they smile in my face/Whole time they wanna take my place" are an interpolation of The O'Jays' song "Back Stabbers".
Critical reception
Sheldon Pearce of 'Pitchfork' compared the song to "Hotline Bling" and called it "infectious and vaguely familiar, with top notes of several songs in the Drake canon".
Commercial performance
As of March 27, 2017, "Fake Love" has sold 784,000 copies in the United States.
