Drake also toured with Future, Miguel and PartyNextDoor from October through December 2013, on the Would You Like a Tour? concert tour. On August 1, 2013, Drake released 'All Me' for free download via his SoundCloud account. Key Wane then pressured Sean to send Drake his verse so he could use the song on his album, Nothing Was the Same.

“Started from the Bottom” and “Hold On, We’re Going Home” were both top 10 hits on the US Billboard Hot 100. While spending time at Drake's Los Angeles home, Sean discovered that they both had recorded verses over the track. “Wu-Tang Forever” was released prior to the album as a promotional single. The album was supported by the seven successful singles “Started from the Bottom”, “Hold On, We’re Going Home”, “All Me”, “Pound Cake”, “The Language”, “Too Much” and “Worst Behavior”. The album’s production was primarily handled by 40 and other OVO Sound producers including Boi-1da, Mike Zombie, Nineteen85 and Detail. As an executive producer, Drake enlisted collaborators such as 2 Chainz, Big Sean, Majid Jordan, Jay-Z, Jhené Aiko and Sampha for guest appearances on the album.
