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.

They don't want my love
They just want my potential
Fuck it
I'll be sippin' on this, baby livin' off bliss
Got me drownin' in your love

Gimme right attention

All these girls try to tell me she got no love
But all these girls never ever got her blow job
Ringtone on silent
And if she stops, then I might get violent
No call is worth stoppin'
So, momma please stop callin'
We can play all night
It just takes one night
To let me fuckin' prove
This feelin' I'ma give to you

The Weeknd's "Party" is a track from his third mixtape, "Echoes of Silence," released in 2011. The song is produced by Illangelo and samples Kaleidoscope's "Let Me Try," giving the bouncy, yet melancholic feel suitable for the topic of the song. There is a multiplicity of themes in the song that when broken down, depict a rather complex story. The lyrics are sultry, and the verses explore the idea of having a good time at a party. The song seems to suggest that when two people come together, the world disappears, and the only thing that matters is the connection between them.
The first verse is The Weeknd's way of saying that he knows what his partner is looking for, and he is okay with it; he is okay with her decision and he doesn't judge her. He is letting her do whatever she wants because she is a big girl and is free to make her choices. In the second verse, The Weeknd describes the girl at the party, who is the center of attention. He tells her that everyone wants her, but he has what she needs, and he positively reinforces her choices, telling her that he's got her and will always be there for her.
The chorus is a repetition of the phrase "Ride wit' it," emphasizing the idea of letting go and enjoying the moment. The lines "You always come to the parties to pluck the feathers off all the birds" and "On your knees, I will not beg you, please" come off as misogynistic, causing backlash and debate about the meaning behind the lyrics since its release.

I think I'm fuckin' gone, rollin' on this floor
I'm feeling intoxicated and out of control
Messin' up your carpet
I don't care about your possessions or making a mess
I'll get on it after four more
I'll take care of it after I'm done with what I'm doing
Sessions of the strong on your floor
I'm consuming drugs and alcohol in your home
Shoulda fuckin' rolled, but I fuckin' pulled
I should have done something differently, but I did something else instead
Feelin' like a billion bucks before
I felt really good and confident before coming here
I walked through this door
I entered your home and came to this party
Can't believe I made it
I'm surprised I made it here in one piece
But I made it that's for sure
I was able to attend this party despite my state
Your lovin'
Your affection and attention
I need more
I need more of your love and affection
She ain't lookin' for that unconditional
She's not interested in a committed relationship
What the fuck these bitches on?
What's wrong with these women who don't appreciate me?
They want what I'm sittin' on
They're only interested in my money and status
They don't want my love
They're not interested in my affection or emotional attachment
They just want my potential
They're only interested in what I can do for them in the future
Fuck it
I don't care anymore
I'll be sippin' on this, baby livin' off bliss
I'll be drinking and living in the moment, not caring about the future
Got me drownin' in your love
I'm lost in my attraction and affection for you
Got me drownin' in the mist
I'm lost and confused about my feelings for you
Gimme right attention
I want your full attention and affection
Or I'll start drownin' from my wrist
If I don't get your affection, I'll harm myself
Baby, if you knew
If you knew how I feel about you
The feelin' I would give to you
The affection and pleasure I would give to you
Oh you, you
It's all about you and the way you make me feel
'Cause I got it girl
I have everything we need to enjoy ourselves
With me, with me
Together, with each other
Whoa you
You are amazing and special
I got a brand new girl
I have a new love interest
Call her Rudolph
She has a unique or unconventional name
She'll probably OD before I show her to momma
She's not the type of person I would introduce to my family
All these girls try to tell me she got no love
Other women are warning me about her lack of affection
But all these girls never ever got her blow job
Other women have not experienced her sexual abilities
Ringtone on silent
I don't want to be interrupted by phone calls
And if she stops, then I might get violent
If my new love interest stops seeing me, I might become aggressive
No call is worth stoppin'
I am not interested in stopping our fun for phone calls
So, momma please stop callin'
I don't want to be bothered by my mother right now
We can play all night
We can enjoy ourselves and have fun all night long
It just takes one night
We can experience a lot of pleasure and intimacy in just one night
To let me fuckin' prove
I'll show you how good I can make you feel
This feelin' I'ma give to you
The pleasure and affection I will give to you
Yeah, I got it girl
I have everything we need to enjoy ourselves
With me, with me, with you
Together, with each other
Oh, ohh-oh, oh, ohh-oh
Sound of pleasure and excitement
