Chantal is a well-known Canadian singer. She was extremely happy to work with Drizzy:
I am thrilled because the creative process was beautiful. I feel privileged to have lent my voice and melodic take on his fancy footwork.
The reason why I am so excited about this song is because I just love this song. I love how Drake is all about Toronto and all about Canada. Amidst all of this stardom, there is such a humility.

Drizzy talked about Stevie’s contributions in an interview with The Village Voice right before Take Care’s release:
We had met and exchanged numbers a while ago so I called him when I was in LA, and he came to the studio I was working at, named Marvin’s Room. So he came and I had this song looped up named ‘Doing It Wrong,’ and it was just playing and Stevie said, ‘40 [Drake’s producing partner], turn the music up,’ and he was just vibing, being Stevie Wonder, sort of got quiet. And then he just went in the booth and brought life to this record, added all these musical pieces. He’s just, like, a dear friend of mine and a great person. I love working with him, and we’ll definitely work more in the future.
The harmonica part was used again in the track “Jorja Interlude,” on More Life.
