The Weeknd gained widespread critical acclaim for his three mixtapes: House of Balloons, Thursday, and Echoes of Silence, which he later compiled to make a remastered, three-disc album titled Trilogy after signing his record deal with Republic. In 2013, he released Kiss Land, which was considered to be his debut studio album.
In 2014, he dropped “Often,” a remix of Beyonce’s “Drunk In Love,” and “King of the Fall.” The Weeknd released two songs in collaboration with the film Fifty Shades of Grey, with Earned It becoming his solo breakout hit.
His second studio album became highly-anticipated, with riveting singles like The Hills and Can’t Feel My Face leaving fans hungry for more. Beauty Behind the Madness was released on August 28, 2015.
His third studio album, Starboy, was released on November 25, 2016. The Daft Punk-assisted title track led the project as its first official single, released on Wednesday, September 21, 2016, before becoming his third number one track in the United States, as also his home country, Canada. The effort was a commercial success, topping the Billboard 200 albums chart with over 348,000 copies sold in its first week, all eighteen tracks debuting on the Billboard Hot 100, receiving a GRAMMY Award for the Best Urban Contemporary Album, category at the 60th annual ceremony, overall for the second time in his music career and being ranked as the third most popular album of 2017 in the U.S.
Next came the My Dear Melancholy EP, released on March 30, 2018 and revolving around his breakups with Bella Hadid during summer of 2016 and Selena Gomez in October 2017. With the lead single, Call Out My Name, the Canadian singer earned the largest first-day Spotify stream count of any song released in 2018 at that time and his eighth Top 10 entry on Hot 100.
Tesfaye’s fourth studio album (and his first in three years), After Hours was officially released on March 20, 2020, and is named after a 1985 movie directed by his idol, Martin Scorsese. It was primarily supported by November 2019-released singles Heartless and Blinding Lights, with the pair becoming his fourth and fifth #1 singles in the US and the latter his first #1 single in the UK. The title track and In Your Eyes were also released as singles.
Although widely expected to receive multiple nominations for After Hours, Tesfaye failed to receive any nominations for the 63rd Annual Grammy Awards (2021). Tesfaye took to his social media to criticize the Recording Academy, claiming corruption. Speculation arose that the announcement of his then-upcoming Super Bowl performance as well as the discrepancy of being nominated as pop music versus R&B contributed to the snubs. On February 5, 2021 The Highlights was released, as his second greatest hits album. Tesfaye performed at the Super Bowl LV halftime show on February 7, 2021 after announcing he would perform in November 2020. He reportedly spent $7 million on his performance at the show. Despite having a mixed response, the show resulted in a surge in streaming and downloads for Tesfaye's After Hours album as well as for the seven other songs he performed.
His fifth album, Dawn FM was released on January 7, 2022, continuing the writing and production work with Swedish pop svengalis Max Martin and Oscar Holter. The album was preceded by the single Take My Breath in August 2021, with Sacrifice announced as the second single.
Hurt You
The Weeknd Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
So stay away from me
I'm warning you
You try to fill the void with every man you meet
'Cause you're upset with me
I'm warning you
'Cause all the nights you slept alone dryin' your eyes
'Cause if it's love you want again, don't waste your time
But if you call me up, I'm fuckin' you on sight
I don't wanna hurt you, oh
I don't wanna hurt you
I don't wanna hurt you, oh
I don't wanna hurt you
When you're with him, you close your eyes and think of me
Just call me up again
I'll make you weak
Girl, I'll come and put myself between your legs
Not between your heart
Can't you see?
That all the nights you slept alone, dryin' your eyes ('cause of me, baby)
And all the nights you thought about takin' your life ('cause of me, baby)
And if it's love you want again, don't waste your time (don't you waste)
But if you call me up, I'm fuckin' you on sight
I don't wanna hurt you, ooh
I don't wanna hurt you
I don't wanna hurt you, ooh, uh
I don't wanna hurt you
I don't wanna hurt you, ooh
I don't wanna hurt you
I don't wanna hurt you, ooh, ooh
I don't wanna hurt you
Oh, woah, oh-woah, woah, woah

The lyrics of The Weeknd's song Hurt You can be interpreted as a conversation between two former lovers. The singer, who seems to be the male counterpart in the relationship, warns the other person to stay away from him because he believes that relationships are his enemy. He acknowledges that the other person is upset with him and tries to fill the void by seeking comfort in other men. However, the singer warns that if the other person reaches out to him, he will give in to their desires and engage in a physical relationship.
The singer seems to have a lot of power over the other person and is aware of the emotional hold he has on them. He reminds the other person of the nights they spent crying and contemplating suicide because of him. He also claims that when the other person is with someone else, they think of him. He offers himself as a temporary physical escape but makes it clear that he is not interested in anything long-term.
Overall, the lyrics of this song depict a toxic and unhealthy relationship where one person has control over the other's emotions and is willing to exploit it for their own pleasure. The singer seems apathetic to the other person's feelings and warns them that they will "hurt you" if they get too close.
