One lucky lady got to feel like the only girl in the world when she took the stage with R&B singer Drake at Hollywood's Saddle Ranch this week.

International student Dalal, aka "Dee," was shocked when her request for a karaoke partner brought Drake to the stage.

"I was up there with the mike and the first beats of 'Only Girl in the World' started playing and I said, 'Stop the song! Does anyone here know how to do the Drake part of 'What's My Name'" she told E! News of the incident.

"So I was like, anyone? Anyone? Hello? And decided to just sing it by myself and then boom! Drake jumps up with his bodyguard behind him and was like, 'Wait, I thought I was going to do the song with you.'"

Earlier in the evening, Dee had received a text message from her friend Jay, who deejayed at the bar, telling her that someone famous was set to make an appearance at the Sunset Blvd. hotspot.

"When I showed up I asked Jay who the celebrity was and he said he was not sure, and that I should go find out," she said. "I had no clue it was Drake."

In the video, which she posted to Youtube, the two share the stage in a rendition of "What's My Name," with Dee prancing about, having a ball.

"I was like, 'Oh my God, Drake!'" she said. "I just got lost in the moment and thought, 'Whatever happens I don't care.' It was a total Hollywood moment."
