== Background and release ==

"Slap the City" was released as part of a surprise triple-album rollout. Drake had spent months teasing the release of ''[[Iceman (album)|Iceman]]'', including installing a large ice sculpture in downtown Toronto and hosting a livestream series titled ''Iceman Episode 4''. At midnight on May 15, 2026, he unveiled that two additional albums, ''[[Habibti (album)|Habibti]]'' and ''[[Maid of Honour (album)|Maid of Honour]]'', would accompany ''Iceman'', bringing the total release to 43 songs across the three projects.<ref name="cbc1" />

''Habibti'' is a title that translates from Arabic as "my love" or "my darling" consists largely of R&B-leaning material exploring the ups and downs of relationships, in contrast to the more combative, hip-hop-oriented ''Iceman''. A ''[[Rolling Stone]]'' review characterized ''Habibti'' as closer in spirit to the romantic, R&B-facing Drake of earlier albums, released once he had gotten his grievances against [[Kendrick Lamar]] off his chest on ''Iceman''.<ref name="cbc1" /><ref name="cbc2">{{cite web |last=Harmsen |first=Natalie |title=Drake becomes 1st artist to simultaneously hold top 3 spots on Billboard 200 albums chart |url=https://www.cbc.ca/lite/story/9.7210972 |website=CBC |date=May 25, 2026}}</ref><ref name="rollingstone">{{cite web |last=Ihaza |first=Jeff |title=Drake's 'Iceman' Trilogy Turns 'Not Like Us' Inside Out |url=https://www.rollingstone.com/music/music-album-reviews/drake-review-iceman-habibti-maid-of-honour-1235564438/ |website=Rolling Stone |date=May 18, 2026}}</ref>
