Drake released a song off his forth coming album, Nothing Was The Same, called “Hold On, We’re Going Home.” The British band called “Arctic Monkeys” covered this song recently on an appearance on BBC Radio 1 Live Lounge.

They do a good job, if you like the Arctic Monkeys. I could understand how some people wouldn’t enjoy their version of the song.

You could make the argument that they did a better job performing the song than Drake did on the Ellen show recently.

Drake said he envisioned the song being danced to at weddings, and it has some beautiful lyrics:

I got my eyes on you
You’re everything that I see
I want your hot love and emotion
Endlessly, I can’t get over you
You left your mark on me
I want your hot love and emotion endlessly

Cause you’re a good girl and you know it
You act so different around me
Cause you’re a good girl and you know it
I know exactly who you could be
Just hold on we’re going home
Just hold on we’re going home
It’s hard to do these things alone
Just hold on we’re going home

I got my eyes on you
You’re everything that I see
I want your hot love and emotion
Endlessly, I can’t get over you
You left your mark on me
I want your hot love and emotion endlessly

You’re the girl
You’re the one
Gave you everything I love
I think there’s something, baby
I think there’s something, baby
