The seemingly random title “7969 Santa” derives from the address of a Hollywood, Los Angeles nightclub and restaurant, Delilah, located on 7969 Santa Monica Boulevard. Drake uses it to subtly confirm the nature of this track, a diss toward his ex-girlfriend Delilah, whom he dated around June of 2023.

Drake makes it obvious with “7969 Santa” that those feelings are long gone, and that he regrets placing trust in her.
