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.

The Weeknd Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I'll be over you eventually
Time after time, you seem to brush me off
I understand what we have become
You wash your neck when you leave, now I know your routine
I was in love with your mystery
Now I'll just take what I can get from you
I'm not embarrassed to be what you want me to be
Cause unlike you, I got nothing to hide
I don't pretend to have any shame
I got a box you can put all your lies in
Until the end of days
You know that I will be a call away
The call you'll make when you're all alone
And I know that I will always be the one
You repent when you are done
Well, here comes the sun
And you're in my arms
And my denial keeps me on the edge of the chance
That you'll stay through the night
You just wanna fill the void now
I can tell that you've been yelling at him all night long
And I can hear it in your voice now
He got you smoking extra packs a day
Don't you worry 'bout me talking
I know why you've been coming
I'll be quiet, this ain't nothing to me
Just wrap your legs around my waist
I won't stop until you ask me
Don't you worry about us messing up my sheets
Cause unlike you, I got nothing to hide
I don't pretend to have any shame
I got a box you can put all your lies in
Until the end of days
And know that I will be a call away
The call you'll make when you're all alone
And I know that I will always be the one
You repent when you are done
Well, here comes the sun
And you're in my arms
And my denial keeps me on the edge of the chance
That you'll stay through the night
Well, here comes the sun
You're in my arms
My denial keeps me on the edge of the chance
That you'll stay through the night
You're gonna hate him
Then you'll want me
Then you'll miss him
Then you'll hate me
Girl, I know you so well (girl, I know you so well)
Girl, I know your routine (yes, I know your routine)
You're gonna hate him (hate him)
Then you'll want me (want me)
Then you'll miss him (baby)
Then you'll hate me
Girl, I know you so well (girl, I know you so well)
Girl, I know your routine (ouuh-oh)
Well, here comes the sun
And you're in my arms
And my denial keeps me on the edge of the chance
That you'll stay through the night
Well, here comes the sun
You're in my arms
My denial keeps me on the edge of the chance
That you'll stay through the night
The lyrics of The Weeknd's song "Till Dawn" speaks of a failing relationship between two people. The singer seems to be aware of the situation that they are in and tells himself that he will take his partner for the last time. He is aware that their love is not what it used to be as his partner seems to keep brushing him off. He is in love with the mystery that surrounds her, but he has nothing to hide in contrast to his partner. He is willing to be whoever his partner wants him to be because he wants to make it work.
The singer realizes that his partner has been with someone else and is seeking comfort from him. He understands his place in the situation but vows to be there for his partner when she needs him. He has no intention of complicating things or causing any drama, and he'll be quiet about their situation. But the singer knows that the relationship his partner has is unstable, and she'll keep coming back to him again and again. The song ends with the singer admitting that he is in denial, which keeps him hoping that his partner will stay.

You will develop feelings of nostalgia for your partner
Girl, I know you so well
I understand you completely
Girl, I know your routine
I am familiar with your habits
