"Energy" is the second single by Canadian rapper Drake from his commercial mixtape If You're Reading This It's Too Late. The single was released on July 10, 2015, about five months after the release of the mixtape.
"Energy" contains samples from "Eazy-Duz-It" by Eazy-E and Ridin Spinners by Three 6 Mafia. The song also samples the hook from the Hot Boys song I Need A Hot Girl, as well as the instrumental from the Original Concept song Knowledge Me. Energy was produced by Boi-1da and OB O'Brien. According to WhoSampled the song samples the score of an episode of The O.C.. The very first sample is believed to be of Jamaican DJ Jah Walton, likely recorded at a sound clash contest.
Ryan Dombal of Pitchfork gave the song a positive review and named it "best new track", stating "The song isn't aimed to any rappers or pop stars, not Kendrick Lamar, Big Sean or Tyga, but the song lines are dangerous." Album Of The Year stated that the song became the most famous single to come out of If You're Reading This It's Too Late.
In Canada, "Energy" peaked at number 65 on the Billboard Canadian Hot 100. In the United States, it is the highest-charting song from the album to date, reaching number 26 on the Billboard Hot 100, number 9 on the Billboard Hot R&B/Hip Hop Songs chart and number 5 on the Billboard Rap chart. "Energy" also peaked at number 71 on the UK Singles Chart.
