With all the great producers out rn you can still make a hit with these 2,” one user wrote of the idea on X (formerly Twitter). Another added: “Drake should write for Justin. The kinda songs Drake sings, like the ones from $$$4U, are like songs I feel Justin should be singing too not those teen pop music he keeps singing lol.”
