The track samples “Gila” from Beach House’s 2008 album Devotion. This is the second time Abel’s sampled a Beach House track, the first time being on “The Party & the After Party.”
This is the third and final track that would be produced (and ultimately secured) from producer Jeremy Rose. Abel would later feud for rights to the songs.

The Weeknd Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Oh (whoa), oh (whoa)
Oh, oh
They say my brain meltin'
And the only thing I'll tell 'em is
I'm livin' for the present and the future don't exist
So, baby take your clothes off, a chance like this
Show off what you talking 'bout (talking 'bout)
Unless you like to tease, baby
When in reality you don't know how to please, baby (please, baby)
Blue-ball queen, take your fuckin' seat, baby
Ride it out, now I know you wanna scream, baby (ma)
I'm better than your next man
And if he swingin' I get dumber than the next man (next man)
'Cause I don't play
Unless it's keys, then I play all day (all day)
You like them keys? We gon' play all day (all day)
Wet dream, fry your brain all day, all day
I think you lost your morals, girl (what?)
But it's okay 'cause you don't need 'em where we're goin'
In that two-floor loft in the middle of the city
After rollin' through the city with me
I promise you gon' see
That I'm only fuckin' twenty, girl
Amnesia, put your mind in a dream world
What you doin' in the bathroom? (Whoa)
I hear noises in the bathroom (whoa)
Baby, it's okay
We can do it in the living room
Twisting turns in 'em, the only girls that we fuck with
Seem to have twenty different pills in 'em
They tell us that they love us
Even though they want a next man
And the next man's bitch want the third man (whoa)
Eddie Murphy shit, yeah, we trade places
Rehearse lines to them and then we fuck faces (fuck faces)
Yeah, we know just how to get a buzz (get a buzz)
Mix it with the hash (hash), come fuck with us (whoa)
I'm raw, mothafucka, I'm raw
My love so lost, and my niggas, man
These bitches can't touch what we got if they wanted
I'll plug any nigga that'll step
Man, I got 'em, yeah, I got 'em
'Til the ending of our credits
Life's such a movie, filmed independent, us against the city
Please don't get offended when we don't answer your calls
And if you got a problem, come and find us, we can talk about it
What's good, young hoe? You about it?
Got a loft right now, you excited?
You excited
Ooh, ooh
Ah, ah
Ooh-ah
What you thinkin' about?
What you thinkin' about?
Yeah
What you thinkin' about?
Ooh, what you thinkin' about?

I know everything
I know everything
I know it all
I know it all
Ah, ah, ah, ooh
Ooh-ah, ah, ah
Ooh, oh no, no, no
Ah, ah-ooh, ooh
The Weeknd's song "Loft Music" appears to represent a lustful, hedonistic lifestyle without morals. The Weeknd seems to be shameless in his pursuit of immediate pleasure regardless of the consequences or effects on society. He begins by describing how his lifestyle has caused his brain to be "melting," and he lives only in the present moment. He invites a woman to take off her clothes and flaunt her body, even though she may never have the opportunity to do so again. He sees himself as superior to other men, and he talks about the women he has sex with as if they are interchangeable objects, interchangeable "bitches."
Similarly, the chorus seems to suggest that The Weeknd is not interested in understanding the world or solving its problems. He encourages others to do the same, urging them to "put your mind in a dream world" rather than dealing with reality. In the second verse, he and his friends take turns having sex with multiple women, without any apparent care for their emotional or physical wellbeing. They trade places and rehearse lines before having sex with them, as if it is all just a game. Throughout the song, The Weeknd seems to be disconnected from reality, living in a dream world in which he can do whatever he wants without any consequences.
Overall, "Loft Music" appears to be a celebration of a hedonistic, careless lifestyle. The Weeknd shows little regard for other people or morality, instead focusing on his own pleasure and satisfaction.
