Background

On August 12, 2014, Canadian rapper Drake released a remix to the original version of Makonnen's song, titled Club Goin' Up on a Tuesday.[3] On August 31, 2014, it was reported Makonnen signed a recording contract with Drake's record label, OVO Sound.[4][5] Drake changed the song title to "Tuesday". Drake got in touch with Sonny Digital; the rapper released the remix two days later. On this release, Makonnen said "It was great. I was excited."[6]

Reception

The website Pitchfork awarded a "Best New Track" mention to Drake's remix of the song. In the track review, Patrick Fallon concluded "Somehow, this summertime sleeper hit has become a self-fulfilling prophecy: iLoveMakonnen worked tirelessly to get to this point in his career, and now with a proper success... he can finally party like it's a Tuesday."[7] "Tuesday" placed second in the magazine's year-end list.[8] The song was also named 2nd best song of 2014 by Spin, noting "There's never been a radio hit quite like it before, with the cadence and brio of hip-hop, the musicality and patience of R&B — good R&B, at that — and the strobe-lit sonics and spaciousness of EDM."[9] It was also listed at number 21 on Fader's list of the 116 best tracks of the year.[10] In January 2015, "Tuesday" was ranked at number six on The Village Voice's annual year-end Pazz & Jop critics' poll. The remix featuring Drake received a nomination for Best Rap/Sung Collaboration at the 57th Annual Grammy Awards.[11]

Music video

The song's accompanying music video premiered on October 20, 2014, on iLoveMakonnen's YouTube account. Since its release, the music video has received over 200 million views on YouTube.[12]
