Wow. The lyrics just now hit me. The Weeknd predicted his success and he's speaking to his old fans (The girl in this song is actually us) and telling us "to love him before they all love him" because when he becomes popular like he is now "he'll be different" and that he hopes "we'll still listen" but until that comes he's going to give us as much dark and mysterious music as he can before his "mystery fades" and "we get used to his face". WOW.
Yesssss ! YOU ARE 100% correct! He is explaining his past and how he used to sleep on the street. When you are making music coming from somewhere, it really hits you. We got to see this side of him and now that he’s made it to the top he don’t really have to “fight” anymore because he’s there now and we see this different side of him. I will LOVE HIM ALWAYS on either side ❤️‼️ So his mystery did fade and now I still recognize his face! I LOVE HIMM ‼️
Milcah Taye I started listening to him in 2011. Knew he was going to be the best artist I liked after MJ. You can't even imagine how pumped up we were as fans like he wasn't showing his face in his early career, no interviews either. So it was only his voice we were connected to him . But then he became famous.
I feel like song is suppose to represent how his career in the art of music is changing, I feel when he said "you'll love me until they all love me" represent his music becoming mainstream, and when says "I hope you still listen" is a him hoping that his original/true fans to listen no matter what he always be the weeknd. XO till we overdose
james cox-hannah couldn't have said it better myself. I honestly agree with you 100% the first song I heard from him was Wicked Games and I've been hooked since 💯 Xo till we overdose fam, Xo till we overdose ❤️❤️❤️
The vibe in this song is really just something else. You connect to it on a whole new level. I wish so badly for him to fall back into some of his old music again
well this song is so meaningful like how he talks about his fans leaving when he becomes "mainstream" and like how no matter what he will always be the same and how he has our back no matter what.
His fans may be leaving him but girl he earned it yeah he deserves it. Don't worry though his new fans are going to love him harder. Yeah pun intended for sure.
I think the best thing about music is how we all relate to it and each other through it. And the beats hit all the spots that make your body shiver while someone else's voice pours out our emotions in to a lyrical bliss. Definitely power in song!
why do i feel like he's singing about what has happened to him recently when he blew up when he he says "i hope you still listen and i hope im not different " but until then i still got you - you know what im talking about if your an older xo fan
That's what it is ... Talking about how he's afraid he's going to change to get fame and be recognized .... Seems like it worked ... 7 Grammy nominations . I miss this Abel though ... Smh
Every time I hear can't feel my face on the radio I have to listen to kiss land or his other old albums because I have to remind myself that his voice and his music is real and I'm not hallucinating.His music takes me to another place so when I hear his new music on the radio I get so damn frustrated cause IK he has so many songs that are so damn good and the radio is playing that shit. but I am glad that he became mainstream because he deserves it but its hard to listen to his new stuff and say that its by the weeknd.
My boyfriend got me listening to the weeknd and I'm mad that I wasn't listening to him before. This song just captured me and I keep pressing repeat lol I love this song :)
Man his old music is great I miss this vibe in his new songs. I'm an old fan but I've grown to like his new songs too cause the Weeknd is still an amazing singer. XO
Although both this song and The Weeknd are the most amazing things I've ever heard, is it just me or does anyone else feel like someone is knocking on the door when hearing this song? There's a subtle door knock in the background, it's so trippy when wearing earphones and listening to this. But I love it regardless!
I swear I love this song too much and I've listened to so many of his other songs but they just don't satisfy me like this one does. Anyone have any suggestions for songs of his more like this or other songs by different artists?
I learned hitting my high notes and vocal control from this song 😎 remember growing up blasting this on the bus ppl didn't know shit now they all want the sauce
Dude like I can completely understand what this song means, every part of it. The Weeknd is a genius, all his songs can be applied to life! Well at least mine?? Lol
Why all this anger and hate, just sit back and vibe to this nice flow, life's too short to argue and watch for human errors, enjoy life and this little good music we have.

Really interesting interpretation, but i don't think that's correct.
@@gemma4490 he's Right. I understood this when it came out
Wooow
Sounds about right 🥲

how I wish I knew him like 6 years earlier so I could've been his original fan.
idek why. but i feel the same way
original fan ? wow the weeknd made it big, its no wonder i dont want to listen to any1 else
I knew about him but I wasn't a fan but I wish I was a fan before he was famous bc he's so good
same, I love his older music way better

Spotify just released my yearly listening stats and the weeknd has been my "artist of the year" for 5 years in a row now
Here's a medal for you 🏅
The vibe in this song is really just something else. You connect to it on a whole new level. I wish so badly for him to fall back into some of his old music again
I love this song, so real and very sophisticated. I'm seeing him on 26th this month, so can't wait.

Ricky Nabor i was like yeahhhh buddy but I seen you posted it 5 months ago so I was confused lol
I think the best thing about music is how we all relate to it and each other through it. And the beats hit all the spots that make your body shiver while someone else's voice pours out our emotions in to a lyrical bliss. Definitely power in song!
the weekend makes me think about the girl i had in 4th grade

+Adriana Aguirre a few years ago he wrote an "Open letter to fans". google that and you will not be disappointed.
+Adriana Aguirre it was actually 4 years ago....i can't believe its been that long.....man time flies
Whether you're an OG or a mainstream fan YOU CANNOT HATE this song ! It's a classic to me now

Really sounds like a angel
the old Abel 🙌 beautifully crafted ..
his music just sends you into a point of no return ALL THE TIME!!!!!!!!! havent had that feeling in so long
Man he need to bring back this type of my music ❤
"I'll be different, I think I'll be different, I hope I'm not different, and I hope you still listen..."
He can count on me
I have headphones in and the first time I heard the knocking I was like "OH damn someone's at the door."
2019 l’m still here 💔
2017,this will get me through the day 💪🏼
“baby love me before they all love me” i got chills
When people swear they xo but don't know nothing from kiss land, Thursday, eos, etc.
Lol I'll be honest I thought I was XO just cause I listened to kiss land and house of balloons and not even knowing about his other albums.
Who cares you fans are insecure in your pride of worshipping a man... cra
I love this song!!! One of my favorites by The Weeknd.
Wassup bro u still rocking with the weeknd 9 years later?
Five years ago .... and I still have this song in my head 😩🙌🏻
First time ever hearing this and GOOOOTDAMN....... I could listen to this all day on repeat. It does something to your mental!!!
His voice when he say ' i got you ' > > Lawdd , im in love
these lyrics are pretty deep if you can relate to them. Luv that this dude's from my city, Toronto, where dead poets reincarnate.
this song sounds soooo good with beats.
Although both this song and The Weeknd are the most amazing things I've ever heard, is it just me or does anyone else feel like someone is knocking on the door when hearing this song? There's a subtle door knock in the background, it's so trippy when wearing earphones and listening to this. But I love it regardless!
