Drake has brought back a track from the recording sessions for his acclaimed album Take Care. The rapper has made “Hate Sleeping Alone” available on YouTube and most major streaming platforms ahead of the album’s 15th anniversary.

Originally released in November 2011, Take Care remains one of the defining projects of Drake’s career. The new release gives fans another chance to revisit a song that has been familiar to longtime listeners for years.

A Bonus Track Returns

“Hate Sleeping Alone” first appeared as a bonus track on digital editions of Take Care. However, its availability across streaming services has varied over time.

The song has been available on Apple Music for years. It is now also accessible on YouTube and most other major platforms.

Pitchfork reported on November 13 that Spotify remains an exception. The track’s absence from that service has not received a clear explanation.

Celebrating 15 Years of Take Care

Drake released Take Care on November 15, 2011. The album helped establish his mix of hip-hop, R&B and personal songwriting.

Its sound influenced a generation of artists and shaped much of the music that followed. The project also includes tracks such as “Marvins Room”, “Headlines” and “The Motto”.

The return of “Hate Sleeping Alone” adds another moment to the anniversary celebrations. It also gives listeners a deeper look at the music created during the album’s original sessions.

Drake’s Busy Year Continues

The release arrives during an active period for the Canadian rapper. In May 2026, Drake released three albums on the same day: Iceman, Habibti and Maid of Honour.

He also brought their accompanying visuals together in the short film FOMO. More recently, he collaborated with Future, Loe Shimmy and Travis Scott on “Ya Hit”.

With “Hate Sleeping Alone” back in circulation, Drake continues to revisit his catalogue while releasing new material. For fans of Take Care, the track offers a welcome return to an important chapter in his career.
