"Often"
The Weeknd Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I usually love sleeping all alone
This time around bring your friend with you
But we ain't really going to sleep at all
You ain't gonna catch me with them sneak pictures
In my city I'm a young god
That pussy kill be so vicious
My god white, he in my pocket
He get me redder than the devil 'til I go nauseous

She asked me if I do this every day, I said often
Asked how many times she rode the wave, not so often
Bitches down to do it either way, often
Baby I can make that pussy rain, often
Often, often, girl I do this often
Make that pussy pop and do it how I want it
Often, often, girl I do this often
Make that pussy pop and do it how I want it
Often

Infatuated by the fame status
She wanna ride inside the G-Class Grain, matted
I come around, she leave that nigga like he ain't matter
That girl been drinkin' all day, need to change bladder
She's just happy that the crew's back in town
She 'bout to go downtown for a whole hour
If I had her, you can have her, man it don't matter
I'm never sour, I'm just smokin' somethin' much louder

She asked me if I do this every day, I said often
Asked how many times she rode the wave, not so often
Bitches down to do it either way, often
Baby I can make that pussy rain, often
Often, often, girl I do this often
Make that pussy pop and do it how I want it
Often, often, girl I do this often
Make that pussy pop and do it how I want it
Often

Oh, the sun's risin' up
The night's almost up
The night's almost done
But I see your eyes
You wanna go again
Girl, I'll go again

She asked me if I do this every day, I said often
Asked how many times she rode the wave, not so often
Bitches down to do it either way, often
Baby I can make that pussy rain, often
Often, often, girl I do this often
Make that pussy pop and do it how I want it
Often, often, girl I do this often




Make that pussy pop and do it how I want it
Often

Overall Meaning

In the first verse of "Often," The Weeknd describes his preference for solitude in order to sleep well. Yet, in this particular instance, he invites his lover to stay with him, implying a sexual encounter. He declares his god-like status in his city, highlighting his dominance and masculinity. However, he also mentions the white substance that he keeps in his pocket. The drug makes him feel nauseous, suggesting that his excesses are taking a toll on his body.


In the chorus, The Weeknd responds to his lover's inquiry about his sexual frequency. He states that he engages in it often, a statement that indicates his high libido. His lover's sexual history doesn't matter to him, as he is willing to pleasure her regardless. The phrase "make that pussy rain" is a metaphor for his ability to sexually satisfy his partner. The second verse continues The Weeknd's narcissism, but also reveals his power over another man's girlfriend. The girl, who is intoxicated, leaves her boyfriend for him suggesting he has an alpha male status.


Overall, the song's lyrics speak to themes of lust, power, and excess. It portrays The Weeknd as a figure who is in constant pursuit of physical pleasure, even if it is at the cost of his own health. The Weeknd uses graphic and controversial language in the song, making it a prime example of his boundary-pushing style.

"Seneler sรผrer her gรผnรผm"
"Yalnฤฑz gitmekten yorgunum"

This is a sample of Turkish singer Nรผkhet Duru song โ€œBen Sana Vurgunumโ€ (I Am in Love with You). Sheโ€™s singing a poem written by Turkish poet Sabahattin Ali. Translated into English, she says:

Each day goes on for years
Iโ€™m tired of being alone

The Weeknd is such a lyrical genius



@bluefisshh2377

The Turkish words in the background belongs to "Sabahattin Ali" , a famous Turkish poet&writer who has been brutally murdered due to his thoughts. They are also the lyrics of Turkish singer Nukhet Duru's "Ben Sana Vurgunum" song.



English translation of the words:


Every day for years,
I'm tired of going alone;
Don't think I'm upset with you,
I'm still on you.

Even if I laugh at others,
Even if I stay away from you,
Even though I know you don't love me,
I'm still on you.
