"Amen" is a song by Canadian rapper Drake featuring American musician Teezo Touchdown, from the former's eighth studio album For All the Dogs (2023). It was produced by Sango, Budgie and Teezo Touchdown.
The song uses elements of gospel, [1] [2] while the lyrics focus on Drake seeking deliverance due to his past actions. [2]
The song received mixed reviews from music critics. Jessica McKinney of Complex picked the song as the "biggest skip" from For All the Dogs and regarded it as "blasphemous". [3] Shahzaib Hussain of Clash wrote favorably of the song, stating "the gospel-rap of 'Amen' is a highlight, pairing Teezo's idiosyncratic punk croon with Drake's search for deliverance; in women, in God, in himself." [2] Louis Pavlakos of HipHopDX commented "'Amen,' not even his best song with this track title, bizarrely employs Teezo Touchdown to do the harmonizing. Considering Teezo's appeal is on the quirkier side of Hip Hop, Drake sounds behind and even, uncomfortable." [4] Charles Holmes of The Ringer wrote "Teezo Touchdown's shaky, lovelorn croon on 'Amen' is perfectly fine in a vacuum, but Drake's disaffected tone renders it inert and cloying." [5]
