The track’s theme rides the 80s Pop culture vibe with a dancey beat produced with the collaboration between Orlando that Great, CHAZZZZ, and Vikaden.
The title of the song refers to the car line of the Chevorlet Corvette Stingray. Tory emphasizes the “87” due to the album being themed in the 1980s.
Previously known as “On My Way” by fans, the song was first previewed on July 3, 2021, where Tory shared half of the song. Nearly almost five months after the song had been previewed, it was announced on November 30, that the song would be retitled to “‘87 Stingray” and would be the album’s next single.

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Yeah, yeah, hey, ayy
Baby, baby girl
Fill me up, fill me with love, yeah, yeah
You give me a feeling, I don't wanna lose, no
Baby girl, no, no
It's fillin' me up, it's fillin' me up, yeah, yeahThe feeling it feels like
Ridin' through the city
Liquor spillin' like a faucet
Phone calls to my baby
She know I be gone all night
Check in on the late night
Lord knows that I'm wrong
For cheatin' on you in the late night
Can't seem to leave her 'lone
Whoa, whoa, whoa
Baby, you know, I'm on my way
Whoa, whoa, whoa
Baby, you know, I'm on my way
Whoa, whoa, whoa
Baby, you know, I'm on my way
Whoa, whoa, whoa
Baby, you know, I'm on my way
Baby, baby girl
You givin' me something that I don't feel too often
You givin' me something
I wanna taste your sweat, your tears, oh, believe me
But, baby, I don't wanna lose it
I don't wanna lose it, no
Ridin' through the city
Liquor spillin' like a faucet
Phone calls to my baby
She know I be gone all night
Check in on the late night
Lord knows that I'm wrong
For cheatin' on you in the late night
Can't seem to leave her 'lone
Whoa, whoa, whoa
Baby, you know, I'm on my way
Whoa, whoa, whoa
Baby, you know, I'm on my way
Whoa, whoa, whoa
Baby, you know, I'm on my way
Whoa, whoa, whoa
Baby, you know, I'm on my way
In “87 Stingray,” Tory Lanez romanticizes the power he has over women and his ability to have them at his disposal as he navigates through the city in his classic 87 Stingray. He addresses his “baby girl” and describes the feeling she gives him, indicating that it’s one that he doesn’t want to lose. Despite his feelings towards her, he simultaneously acknowledges his infidelity as he confesses to “cheatin’ on [her] in the late night” and being unable to leave his other lover alone.
The tone of the song is playful and seductive with its smooth R&B feel and catchy chorus. Tory Lanez’s lyrics, however, reveal the problematic and somewhat toxic behavior he exhibits in his relationships. The lyrics also reveal his fear of losing the attention of his current lover, while still maintaining his side relationship. In this sense, the song can be seen as a reflection of Tory Lanez’s struggle to balance his love interests and maintaining his player image.
