Background

"Solar Eclipse", alongside the other songs from the Habibti reissue, was previewed in his short film FOMO, which was premiered on YouTube on September 15, 2026. [2] Drake had previously attended Langley's concert in Arkansas and played a portion of "Solar Eclipse" while DJing in Houston. Prior to the song's release, many assumed it was a remix to "Choosin' Texas". [1] According to DJ Akademiks, Drake forfeited his publishing share of the song to help clear it for release, due to popular demand. [3]

Composition

The song was described by outlets as R&B and trap-soul; [4] [5] [6] with both Drake and Don Toliver delivering melodic vocals. [4] Drake flips the chorus of "Choosin' Texas" with his own lyrics, in which he sings about having sex with a cowgirl. He name-checks various people and places from Texas (Johnny Manziel, College Station, River Oaks, Sugarland, Pearland and the Woodlands), and calls back to his song "Spider-Man Superman" with PartyNextDoor from their album Some Sexy Songs 4 U . Don Toliver shouts out to Fort Bend County and Katy, while in his verse he references his album Octane , describes the aftermath of a sexual encounter and hints at his risky lifestyle. [5] [6]
