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.
He recently released his sixth album Hurry Up Tomorrow on January 31, 2025.
Love in the Sky

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
But you're free to relax
If you commit to this ride
There's no turning back
You've been here before
Remember these sheets, uh
This world's not for us
It's not what it seems
You'll learn to love how to dream
Dream
You'll learn to love how to dream
Dream, uh
There's no need to hide
Don't overreact
You said you've been to the sky
We'll go beyond that
You've been here before, girl
Remember these sheets
This world's not for us
It's not what it seems
You'll learn to love how to dream
Dream, hey
You'll learn to love how to dream, uh
I could teach you to dream
Oh, woah-oh
We'll find our love in the sky
We'll find our love in the sky
Oh, we'll find our love in the sky
Oh
Oh, whoa
We'll find our love in the sky
Oh, we'll find our love in the sky
Oh, we'll find our love in the sky
Oh, oh (oh, ooh)
(Oh, ooh)
(Oh, ooh) how does it feel?
Do you feel like you did before?
Do you see the world getting small?
How does it feel
Are you free?
As for me, I've been getting grown
As for me, I've been getting old
As for me
Been flying around the world
I've been killing these shows
But I'm always getting high, 'cause my confidence low
And I'm always in a rush, ain't no time to fuck slow
And even if I try, it's not something I would know
But I'm sure I'll make you cum, do it three times in a row
And I'm sure you would have left with that pussy in control
Got that pussy in control
I got it in control
Oh
Control, control, control
Mhm
The Weeknd's song Love in the Sky is a sensual yet mysterious love song. The lyrics suggest that the singer and his lover are on a journey together and the destination is beyond the sky. The song opens with the lines 'There's no one inside, but you're free to relax' which can be interpreted as the singer speaking to his lover, inviting her to be comfortable with him. He promises that if they commit to this ride, there's no turning back. The singer then goes on to remind his lover that they've been 'here' before and tells her to remember 'these sheets', which is likely a reference to a past intimate moment they shared in bed. He suggests that the world they are in right now is not meant for them and it's not what it seems.
The chorus of the song emphasizes how both of them will learn to love how to dream. This can be interpreted as the singer urging his lover to let go of her inhibitions and embrace the unknown journey with him. He tells her that there's no need to hide and not to overreact. He acknowledges that his lover has been to the sky, but he promises to take her beyond that. He repeats the same line, 'this world's not for us, it's not what it seems,' in the second verse, emphasizing that they are meant to leave this world behind and move towards something greater. The song ends with a repeated chant of 'control' which can be interpreted as the singer wanting to be in control, or perhaps him wanting his lover to have control over him.
Overall, Love in the Sky is a love song about two people who have shared intimate moments before and are now embarking on a journey together towards something greater, beyond this world. The lyrics suggest that the journey is not just physical but also emotional and spiritual, urging the listener to let go of their inhibitions and embrace the unknown.
Line by Line Meaning
There's no one inside
There is no one else around us right now
But you're free to relax
You can feel comfortable and ease your mind
If you commit to this ride
If you fully engage in this emotional journey we're on
There's no turning back
Once you start, there is no going back to the way things were
You've been here before
You have experienced similar emotions in the past
Remember these sheets, uh
Recall this moment of intimacy and connection
This world's not for us
The world outside us doesn't care about our emotions
It's not what it seems
The world outside is superficial and lacking in depth
You'll learn to love how to dream
You'll discover the beauty of creating a dream for yourself
Dream
Allow yourself to dream and imagine
There's no need to hide
You don't need to hold back or be guarded
Don't overreact
Don't get too anxious or overly emotional
You said you've been to the sky
You have experienced great ecstasy before
We'll go beyond that
We'll reach new heights of emotional pleasure
You've been here before, girl
You have felt these emotions with others in the past
Remember these sheets
Hold on to this moment of passion and embrace it
I could teach you to dream
I'll guide you to explore your desires and passions
We'll find our love in the sky
We'll find transcendent intimacy and love in our passion
How does it feel?
How do you feel in this moment?
Do you feel like you did before?
Is this experience familiar to you?
Do you see the world getting small?
Does everything outside of this moment feel insignificant?
Are you free?
Do you feel liberated and unburdened?
As for me, I've been getting grown
I've been maturing and evolving as a person
As for me, I've been getting old
I've been experiencing the passage of time
Been flying around the world
I have been traveling and performing globally as an artist
I've been killing these shows
I have been putting on amazing performances
But I'm always getting high, 'cause my confidence low
I use drugs to compensate for my low self-esteem
And I'm always in a rush, ain't no time to fuck slow
I'm always in a hurry and don't like to take my time
And even if I try, it's not something I would know
I'm not naturally patient or attentive
But I'm sure I'll make you cum, do it three times in a row
I am confident in my ability to please you sexually
And I'm sure you would have left with that pussy in control
I'm sure you will feel empowered and satisfied after our encounter
Got that pussy in control
I am turned on by the idea of you being sexually dominant
I got it in control
I am confident in my own sexual abilities
Control, control, control
Sexual power and control are a prominent theme in this encounter
