Overview
- A social-media post cited by HotNewHipHop said Drake’s Take Care bonus track “Hate Sleeping Alone” was added to Spotify at midnight, a report that has not been confirmed by an official artist or label statement.
- The song first appeared as a bonus on the 2011 Take Care era and has not had wide distribution on digital streaming services until recently.
- Pitchfork notes the track has circulated online and been available on some platforms such as Apple Music while remaining unavailable on Spotify in its account of the release.
- Fans have historically relied on YouTube uploads for the song, which often suffered from poor mixes and compression, so an official high-fidelity release would improve listening quality.
- This development highlights a common industry pattern where artists use anniversaries to update legacy catalogues and decide whether to lift platform exclusives for wider access.
