Usher Teases His Take on Drake and Loe Shimmy’s ‘I’m Spent’

Usher is putting his own spin on “I’m Spent.” According to Billboard, the R&B star has previewed a remix of Drake and Loe Shimmy’s track, bringing another name into the orbit of a song that already made a top-40 showing on the Billboard Hot 100.

The publication describes the preview as sultry—a fitting direction for an Usher appearance. But the key word here is preview: the supplied report points to a taste of the remix, not a confirmed full release.

For a record with chart history already behind it, that distinction matters. This is a new development around “I’m Spent,” rather than news of the original song’s arrival or another chart milestone.

A fresh angle on a charting track

The HABIBTI track reached No. 34 on the Hot 100, according to Billboard. That gives the remix teaser a clear starting point: Usher is revisiting a song that has already registered on the chart, rather than introducing an entirely unfamiliar title.

Adding his name changes the conversation around the record. The original pairing puts Drake and Loe Shimmy at its center; the preview now opens the door to hearing how Usher approaches that material through an R&B lens.

That is the appeal of this kind of remix tease. A familiar song becomes a question again: what will another artist emphasize, and how much will their presence reshape the experience? In this case, Billboard’s description suggests a sensual direction, though the limited source details do not establish the full arrangement or scope of Usher’s contribution.

A teaser, not a release announcement

There is no remix release date in the supplied material. It also does not specify whether the complete version is headed to streaming services, so listeners should not mistake the preview for an available single.

Nor does the report’s summary provide a new chart position for “I’m Spent.” The No. 34 figure refers to the song’s Hot 100 peak—not a result for Usher’s teased version.

For now, the headline is straightforward: Usher has offered a glimpse of his take on Drake and Loe Shimmy’s record. The next thing to watch is whether that glimpse becomes a full release. Until then, “I’m Spent” has a fresh R&B talking point, with the rollout details still to come.
