Why First Person Shooter went viral

Drake released First Person Shooter on October 6, 2023 at 6 a.m. ET as part of For All the Dogs on OVO Sound/Republic. It debuted at #1 on the Billboard Hot 100 dated October 21, 2023, with 42.2 million streams and 4.3 million radio impressions in its first tracking week — Drake's 13th Hot 100 #1, tying him with Michael Jackson for the most solo-male #1s in chart history (a record Jackson set in 1995 with "You Are Not Alone"). It was J. Cole's first-ever Hot 100 #1. The Gibson Hazard-directed music video, released October 18, 2023, made the record-tie literal: Drake performs on a lit platform in a sparkly white glove, directly referencing Jackson's 1983 "Billie Jean" performance — staged as a winking commentary on the lyric "I'm one away from Michael." Drake later passed Jackson on May 26, 2026, when "Janice STFU" debuted at #1 for his 14th leader.

Cultural Note

J. Cole's verse declared him, Drake, and Kendrick Lamar the "big three" of contemporary rap — a line that detonated the Kendrick-Drake feud later that year, with Kendrick's response on Future and Metro Boomin's "Like That" (March 2024) explicitly rejecting the framing. The First Person Shooter music video is dense with references beyond the MJ moment: Brian Baumgartner (Kevin from The Office) opens it playing an FPS game; Drake and Cole recreate the Spider-Man pointing meme, the Messi-Ronaldo Louis Vuitton chess campaign, and a Muhammad Ali boxing scene. It ends with a Drake statue unveiled in Toronto — staged in homage to Jackson's 1995 HIStory teaser. The song's chart record stood until 2026; the video's Jackson references aged into a milestone marker rather than a prediction.

Tips for best results

  1. 1

    At 164 BPM this is one of the faster templates — clear, well-resolved input photos render the rapid motion more cleanly than busy or low-resolution shots

  2. 2

    The video's signature shot is a spotlit one-handed pose in a sparkly white glove (Billie Jean homage) — front-facing photos with one arm slightly extended translate that gesture more directly than locked, hands-at-sides poses

  3. 3

    The track is built around a competitive, head-to-head energy — paired photos (you and a friend, you and a teammate) match the song's two-rapper structure visibly better than solo shots

First Person Shooter AI Dance FAQ

Why does Drake reference Michael Jackson on First Person Shooter?
The line "I'm one away from Michael" referred to the all-time Hot 100 #1 record. When First Person Shooter debuted at #1, Drake tied Jackson at 13 solo-male #1 singles — a record Jackson had held since 1995. He passed Jackson in May 2026 with "Janice STFU."
Was First Person Shooter J. Cole's first #1?
Yes. It was J. Cole's first-ever #1 on the Billboard Hot 100, on his 72nd chart entry. He had previously reached #2 twice — featured on Lil Durk's "All My Life" (May 2023) and "my.life" with 21 Savage and Morray (May 2021).
Who directed the First Person Shooter music video?
Gibson Hazard. It released October 18, 2023, runs about five minutes, and includes Brian Baumgartner (Kevin from The Office) in the opening, the Spider-Man pointing meme recreation, a Messi/Ronaldo chess reference, and Drake's white-glove Billie Jean tribute to Michael Jackson on a lit platform.
What is the "big three" controversy on First Person Shooter?
J. Cole's verse framed himself, Drake, and Kendrick Lamar as the "big three" of current rap. Kendrick rejected the framing on Future and Metro Boomin's "Like That" in March 2024, opening the 2024 Drake-Kendrick exchange that produced "Not Like Us." Cole later distanced himself from the original line.
Is the First Person Shooter dance hard for the AI to generate?
Rated Medium. There's no canonical choreography — the song's identity is chart-history and the MJ tribute video, not a TikTok dance routine. At 164 BPM the motion is faster than most templates, so high-quality, well-lit input photos render the energy more cleanly.
