Music and lyrics Lyrically, `` Started from the Bottom '' addresses Drake 's early life and career beginnings. He commented of its concept, `` I feel sometimes that people do n't have enough information about my beginnings and therefore they make up a life story for me that is n't consistent with actual events. I did not buy my way into this spot and it was the furthest thing from easy to achieve. I am proud of every part of my past and I 'm excited for this song to find a place in your life as well. '' The song makes use of instrumentation from drums and a piano ; MTV describes it as `` departure '' from his earlier works. Music video On September 4, 2012, Drake was seen filming the music video for the song which was being directed by Director X. The music video was released on February 10, 2013.

He begun work on it with Rick Ross and DJ Khaled but the recording session resulted in the first single off Khaled 's next album, `` No New Friends ''. Critical reception Lewis Corner of Digital Spy gave the song a positive review stating : Backdropped by a haunting piano loop and tinned snare, the production falls in line with what we 've come to expect from a brooding Drake track. `` Started from the bottom now we 're here, '' he reflects. `` Started from the bottom now my whole team fucking here. '' The ascent to stardom has clearly been the smoothest of paths, but we hope there 's a little more depth to the remainder of his new material to keep him up there with the best... On December 2, 2013, Complex named `` Started From the Bottom '' the second best song released in 2013. David Drake of Complex said, `` Musically, `` Started From the Bottom '' is Drake at his most irrepressibly memorable. Stripped down to a simple piano line and a crisp, unforgettable drum pattern, the song 's simplicity gave it a singular fingerprint. It epitomizes the new, clean, minimal direction Drake took throughout Nothing Was The Same, while sounding like no other song on it. It is wistful, atmospheric, as catchy as a nursery rhyme. Lyrically, the song is packed with hooks, each line a mantra of burgeoning confidence, hard - earned. '' Rolling Stone then ranked the song at number nine on their list of the 100 Best Songs of 2013. XXL named it one of the top five hip hop songs of 2013. Chart performance The track entered the UK Singles Chart at number 71 on February 10, 2013. The following week it rose forty - six positions to number 25 -- becoming only Drake 's third top 40 entry as a solo artist in the UK.
