"I'm Upset" is a song by Canadian rapper Drake from his fifth studio album Scorpion (2018). It was released by Young Money Entertainment and Cash Money Records as the third single from the album on May 26, 2018. The song was written by Drake alongside producer Oogie Mane of Working on Dying.

Composition

"I'm Upset" is a hip hop song that features a trap production and "rolling hi-hats, deep bass and a subdued piano loop", with Drake rapping lines such as "I'm upset/50,000 on my head, it's disrespect".[1][2] Drake also references needing to pay a woman's bills every month and "get her what she want".[2] The song was also noted as containing an emo influence.[3]

Critical reception

"I'm Upset has been panned by music critics. Jayson Greene wrote for Pitchfork, "But above all it is boring. Drake doesn't switch up his flow, the minimal beat drones on, and we are asked to take a rap song with the chanted chorus 'I'm upset' with a straight face. 'I'm upset' is not self-expression; it is what you teach a toddler to howl instead of pulling someone's hair."[1][2]

Music video

The music video was directed by Karena Evans, and it features Drake reuniting with former cast members of Degrassi: The Next Generation, the Canadian teen drama series on which he portrayed the character Jimmy Brooks from 2001 to 2008.[4]

The video features appearances by Degrassi cast members Stefan Brogren, Lauren Collins, Nina Dobrev, Jake Epstein, Stacey Farber, Shane Kippel, A.J. Saudin, Cassie Steele, Melissa McIntyre, Adamo Ruggiero, Christina Schmidt, Miriam McDonald, Sarah Barrable-Tishauer, Jake Goldsbie, Andrea Lewis, Marc Donato, Dalmar Abuzeid, Paula Brancati, Ephraim Ellis and Linlyn Lue, as well as cameo appearances from Kevin Smith and Jason Mewes reprising their Jay and Silent Bob characters from Smith's View Askewniverse film series. Ryan Cooley, who portrayed J.T. Yorke on the show, does not appear in the video for the song. When asked why Cooley did not appear in the video for the song, Drake stated that Cooley thought the invitation to be in the video was a "scam." Aside from Cooley, Daniel Clark and Mike Lobel, who portrayed Sean Cameron and Jay Hogart, also do not appear in the video due to no one asking them to participate.[4][5] When Drake first revealed intentions on releasing the album and video, Drake had no plans to release another album after Scorpion.
