28 is one of the best songs in the history of music if you ask me, the video is what sets it off for me, shot in Romania with the dancers and TV anchor
i think an important thing to note is that the mixtapes were all added to streaming services on their ten year anniversary’s back in 2021 in march, august, and december respectively. for an entire decade the only way to consume these songs was through the trilogy compilation so to most XO fans these aren’t even bonus tracks anymore, and have become mainstays of the tracklist and the trilogy canon. excellent reaction as always briana!
You getting the Trilogy diamonds tattoo means you are officially XO. I tattooed the XO logo on my arm to show how much of a fan I am lol. He literally saved my life in dark times with his music.
The title “Twenty Eight” (28) is approximately the amount of grams that makes up an ounce. This is infamously known in the illegal drug trade. The title creates more emphasis as to how The Weeknd’s music has a certain drug inducing effect on his fans. “Twenty Eight” also refers to the fact it’s his twenty eighth official, professional song. (27 from his first three mixtapes, then “Twenty Eight” being the first of his bonus tracks)
the first bonus track is called 28 because it’s the twenty-eighth song on Trilogy (when you take into account the original twenty-seven songs that were on the mixtapes), hope that cleared it up for u!
One of the aception along the title "Twenty Eight” is approximately the amount of grams that makes up an ounce, and how the Weeknd music could be considered a certain drug inducing effect on his fans. And the other this is the 28 profesional song from the Weeknd and the first from the mixtapes.
OMG THE TATTOO COMMENT YOU MADE. When I first got into him and it spiraled into me become such a huge fan. I too had the same idea of just getting the diamonds. It’s so simple and only people who love his music would really get what it is. I haven’t gotten it tho. Maybe at some point. I think you should tho!!! Either the all black diamonds or have the color coding of each of the trilogy tapes with HOB being black, Thursday with its colors and , echoes of silence with red
I hear two theories why its called twenty eight either it’s a drug reference as there r 28 grams in a ounce of coke or it’s the 28 track, as there r 9 each in the 3 mixtapes, n when trilogy was released, this n the other two songs were 28th, 29 th n 30 th song respectively
In my opinion 28 has a triple meaning. First, it's about his insecurities, and being scared of women knowing too much about him because he ends up feeling weak (which drives most of his toxic behavior imo). Second, it's about fame, because he didn't expect to be that popular and now it's in every facet of his life, so he's questioning if maybe he shouldn't have shown his face. And third, it's about cocaine. 28 is the amount of grams in an ounce, so now cocaine has invaded his home and he can't stop thinking about it and has taken control over him. The weekend is usually very subtle around the meaning of his songs and music videos, and maybe that's why it can be so popular without people getting too deep in it.
Here Comes the Sun is actually my favorite song by Abel. Imo, if you just listen to EoS on its own, then the title track is a great closer. But for Trilogy as a whole, it’s a great ending to the story that it tells across all three mixtapes
@@creptandwecame true I love her reactions but she do be taking hella long to post the next one 😂 but idgaf me personally I like starboy so I want her to do it then after hours
Twenty Eight always give me goosebumps at “Hey there lonely girl”
idc
@@GoodMorningKanye bro replied to a year old comment jus to say "idc"☠️

true

Till Dawn has so much meaning behind it.I love it
One of my faves 💯💯
And now we’re at the end of the Dawn FM era
The irony that you started Twenty Eight at 28 seconds into the video

because its the 28th track, the first three mixtapes was 27 songs but when he remastered it that was the 28th track
i thought so too
I love till dawn so much. One of my favorites off trilogy
💯💯💯
Valerie is just too good definitely one of his top 3 vocal performances.
You getting the Trilogy diamonds tattoo means you are officially XO. I tattooed the XO logo on my arm to show how much of a fan I am lol. He literally saved my life in dark times with his music.
God is good!!💯💯 hubby and I saw him in July 2022 and we'll forever have that tattooed in our memories 🤣🙏
@@angie-jo1mn That's a nice memory to cherish. Happy for you both :)
I can’t even tell you how many nights I had screaming Valerie and butchering notes lol
Loved how she said“What happens when I get those tattooed?“ another great video. So glad you became part of the XO family 🙌🏼

I can’t express how much I love your reactions. You’re so knowledgeable and real

Wow, I never even though about the substance connection 🤯
isn't it just a hotel room number
Valerie will always be one of my favorites
valerie is still my favourite song. it just hits different when your stepmom's name is also valerie.
wait....WHAT??!
??????
You’re gonna hate him , then you’ll want me .then you’ll miss him ,then you’ll
Hate me…..
It's all facts.

28 is literally top 10 weeknd.Cant wait for the after hours reaction
I listen to Til Dawn/ here comes the sun endlessly!! Whoahh Twenty Eight got me quivering right now 😭🤣
Till Dawn always gives me nostalgia from The Little Vampire movie when tony whistles to anna
A part of me is still in that era ..so many flashbacks
Great reaction video! My guess is as time goes on 'Twenty Eight' will grow on you and become a top 5 favorite Weeknd song of yours
I promise you everyone whose ever thought ab a Weeknd tattoo has introspectively stared at those diamonds
I scream Twenty Eight and Valerie at night driving EVERY NIGHT
It’s called 28 because it’s the 28th song of the trilogy. 9 songs from 3 mixtapes, 27 songs. 1st bonus track is 28.
Is After Hours or Starboy next?
Was waiting on this one :)

Loft music is my favorite

GIRL REACT TO AFTER HOURS NEOOOW
28 was his 28th song officially released but idk if that’s the reason
Leeets goooo!!! 🔥🔥🔥 you should really react to some live stuff from him 👌🏼
