Drake, 'How About Now' 2014; LISTEN to His New Song & 13 Others To Get Through Cuffing Season Alone [VIDEO] [AUDIO]
Drake is an amazing artist. His songs are full of Tweet-able quotes, thoughtful metaphors and non-threatening punch lines that deeply connect with his fans, no matter the mood. He's one of the leaders of the Hip Hop's new school, and though much of his behavior causes him to be the butt of jokes on Twitter and Instagram, his honesty and vulnerability are also what makes his fans love him.

There's literally a Drake song for every emotion you've ever felt, and sometimes those emotions are on the sad end of the spectrum, especially during this time of the year. Cuffing season has officially begun (definition, here), but not everyone has been cuffed. It's okay. You are not alone, and probably not as lonely as your friends assume. Still, what's a girl (or boy) to do when it's cold and you want to snuggle up with someone? Call on Drizzy.
In celebration of Drake's 28th birthday, Enstars gathered a comprehensive list of 14 of his best songs to get, people who may have missed the Cuffing Season deadline, through those long Fall and Winter months. Now, should you find someone, forget about this list completely... But, for those who don't, this one's for you (**90s DJ voice**).

14 Songs To Get You Through Cuffing Season, Alone:
1. BRAND NEW. It's an oldie but goodie, and may make you go through your contacts. We warned you.
2. BEST I EVER HAD. No really, who doesn't love this song? Now that it doesn't get the (annoyingly) constant airplay it used to, you can relive those great moments and act as if Drake is talking directly to you.
3. HOUSTALANTAVEGAS. This song is dope in more ways than one, but mostly because it excuses any ratchet behavior you might get into on the nights you actually go out in the cold.
4. SOONER THAN LATER. This song may be too emotional to listen to after midnight, but you can imagine that the guy you can no longer stand, really feels this way about you.
5. BRIA'S INTERLUDE. Hello? The first line of this song begins with, "Even though you're all alone..." We don't really need to say more.
6. SHUT IT DOWN. Now, just because you missed the draft, doesn't mean you did not have options. It just means that no one was suitable enough to actually be cuffed. But, if you feel less confident in your choice, this song will give you the boost you need.
7. MAKE ME PROUD. Whether you are a Nicki fan or not doesn't really matter in this case, because the message of the song is perfect for women who are trying their best to build their own empire during the Cuffing Season period. Play on, playa. Drake cares.
8. CAMERAS/GOOD ONES GO. The second part of this song could make you cry, but at least you know you're too good for the lowered standards of some 21st century men. As Drake says, fellas, the good ones go if you wait too long.
9. PRACTICE. This song is just for twerk-practice in the mirror, for that lucky person in the future who will gladly thank Drake.
10. THE REAL HER. This is the perfect song to get ready to when you are getting ready for a party with your friends. Blast this to obscene levels and make it the first song on your party playlist to start off a perfect night out.
11. OWN IT. Nope, we didn't include this song because Drake shouts out "journalists" in the song... Okay, we did.
12. COME THRU. Ok, this song is just perfect for any moment because of the beat alone.
13. FROM TIME. Jhene Aiko's melodic voice makes you forget that she's talking about being in an unrequited love, but it's just that good.
14. HOW ABOUT NOW. This song was leaked, but it's just in time for the cuffing season playlist because anything with a Jodeci sample, wins.
