Following an anticipated release, it debuted at #1 on the Billboard 200, selling 447,000 copies in its first week in the United States. Upon its release, the album received generally positive reviews from music critics, who praised Drake's personal themes and compared it musically to Kanye West and Kid Cudi. Drake's emotionally transparent, self-deprecating lyrics are delivered in both rapped and subtly sung verses, and explore feelings of doubt, insecurity and heartbreak. Thematically, the album focuses on Drake's introduction to fame and his romances over the course of confessional, club-oriented and sexual songs. Thank Me Later has an ambient production that incorporates moody synthesisers, sparse beats, obscured keyboards, muffled drums, minor keys and subtle arrangements. Production for the album took place at various recording studios during 2009 to 2010 and was mostly produced by longtime collaborators Noah "40" Shebib and Boi-1da, with add T.I., Jay Z, and Lil Wayne, amongst others. Thank Me Later is the debut studio album by Canadian artist Drake, released in 2010 on Aspire Music Group, Young Money Entertainment, Cash Money Records and Universal Motown Records.
