Recorded with producer (and fellow country Top 40 songwriter) Jaren Johnston, White says "Mix 'Em With Whiskey" is "top-shelf soul country for me...the lyric is smooth, but the guitar bites. It’s one of those jams that is a pleasure to perform, and it'll have everyone singin' and sippin’ in just one listen."
Stars also includes "Luckiest Man" — which Drake describes as "a song that explores the more buttery side of things, and feels like you're easing down the road in an old Bronco" — and anthemic "Eat, Drink & Dream," which he calls "country-cool rocket fuel."
Overall, Drake feels "there's been a revival in my heart and my soul...I feel an overwhelming sense of joy and gratitude towards my maker, my life, and the simple things. People are going to hear that in my new music. They're going to see it in my shows. The excitement never left me; it's just greater now. I walk onstage these days and feel so thankful to be there — to be able to to do what I love to do."
