This song is about a relationship Drake had with a former flame. He expresses conflicting emotions about romantic commitment throughout “Redemption.” On the first three verses, he scorns a former lover for the emotional pressure she placed upon him, while the choruses see him pleading with her for time and understanding. Drake switches styles in the fourth verse as he begins to address more relationships, name dropping the likes of Erica Lee who sued him for not crediting her as a co-writer for her drunken voicemails on “Marvin’s Room.
