"Fake Love" features an
R&B beat. Lyrically, it focuses on peers who only appreciate Drake for his success, and would not care for him otherwise, hence the lyric, "fake people showing fake love to me".[7]
Sheldon Pearce of Pitchfork compared the song to "
Hotline Bling" and called it "infectious and vaguely familiar, with top notes of several songs in the Drake canon".[4]
