Today, quiet storm is a broad term given to an array of mellow, slow-groove contemporary R&B, soul and smooth jazz offerings of the type featured on Melvin Lindsey's WHUR program, and on myriad other stations that followed his lead—most notably KBLX-FM[1] in San Francisco, which in 1979 became the first radio station in the U.S. to present a 24-hour quiet storm format (which lasted 32 years, until the station was acquired in April 2011 by Entercom Broadcasting and converted to straight-ahead Urban AC format).

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
'Cause I see nobody, nobody but you, you, you
I'm never confused
Hey, hey
And I'm so used to being used
So I love when you call unexpected
'Cause I hate when the moment's expected
So I'ma care for you, you, you
I'ma care for you, you, you, you, yeah
'Cause girl you're perfect
You're always worth it
And you deserve it
The way you work it
'Cause girl you earned it, yeah
Girl you earned it, yeah
You know our love would be tragic (oh, yeah)
So you don't pay it, don't pay it no mind, mind, mind
We live with no lies
Hey, hey
And you're my favorite kind of night
So I love when you call unexpected
'Cause I hate when the moment's expected
So I'ma care for you, you, you
I'ma care for you, you, you, you, yeah

Girl you earned it (yeah)
On that lonely night (lonely night)
You said it wouldn't be love
But we felt the rush (felt the love)
It made us believe it there was only us (only us)
Convinced we were broken inside, yeah

The Weeknd's song "Earned It" is a melodic reflection of a relationship between two individuals who seem to have deep feelings for each other. The lyrics are sorrowful and emotional, emphasizing the depth of the couple's love. The singer expresses his admiration for his significant other and how he's willing to care for her even though he’s used to being used. The couple seems to be aware that their love would be tragic, but they're determined to make it work regardless of the challenges they may face.
The line "So you don't pay it, don't pay it no mind, mind, mind" can be seen as a warning to other people who try to interfere in their relationship, or it can be referring to the stigma associated with their love. They continue to value their deep love, live their truth without lies, and enjoy each other's company to the fullest. The chorus "Girl, you earned it" is repeated several times throughout the song, which is supposed to make the listener feel as if the couple has put in hard work to achieve and maintain their love, which has earned them the feelings and admiration they have for each other.
