A new song by two of the biggest names in hip-hop and R&B has taken off -- but the artists have nothing to do with the track’s production.

A new song by two of the biggest names in hip-hop and R&B has taken off -- but the artists have nothing to do with the track’s production.

Toronto’s Drake and The Weeknd were featured on the song titled “Heart on My Sleeve,” which was posted to TikTok on Saturday by a mysterious person cloaked in a white sheet and sunglasses who goes by ghostwriter977.

Little is known about the song’s producer aside from the fact they said the song was made entirely by artificial intelligence.

“I used AI to make a Drake song feat The Weeknd,” text over the producer says in the video as the track plays.

The song, which has already been played more than 9.2 million times on the platform and received more than 250,000 plays on Spotify, sounds eerily similar to the voices of the two artists themselves and fans don’t appear to care.

“I like it but I feel like I’m not supposed to,” wrote one user. “Bout to be the first AI platinum record,” wrote another.

AI songs with computer-generated vocalists have taken the world by storm as of late.
