Overall Meaning

The song "Ice Melts" by Drake featuring Young Thug is about the need for physical and emotional satisfaction.

The repeated line "Feeling rough, rough, Baby, I'm needing something, something" emphasizes the need for connection and fulfillment.


Drake then switches to expressing his own needs, saying that he wants more action and less talk in his relationship.
