“Passionfruit” details Drake’s struggle to maintain trust in a long-distance relationship. Throughout the song, Drake explores how he is unable to maintain trust and faithfulness to this woman, eventually advising her to put a stop to the relationship. This is similar to another of Drake’s songs, “Marvin’s Room.”

There’s been much recent speculation over Drake’s love interests (such as Jennifer Lopez and Rihanna), and this song could refer to any number of them.

The smooth beat of the song reflects the tropical/dancehall influences that have been present in many songs from Views, including “Hotline Bling,” “One Dance,” and “Controlla.”
