Meanwhile, the girl from “Lonely Star” thinks about Abel at home, waiting for “Thursday” to come.
The song is loosely based on “Drugs In My Body” by Thieves Like Us.

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Ooh (yeah)
Ooh, ooh
Hello, welcome to the other side
You're lost
Baby, step outside your mind
You've been really good
You've been thinking 'bout being bad
Ever since I put you on-on-on
She got money for blow
Just check her damn nose
Prescription ain't an issue
You can mix it with the, oh
And if you wanna do it, baby
I'm right here with you
I'm on cloud nine
Baby, you're behind
You can follow me
You can follow me if you want
To go downtown with the drugs in your body
Take that step, you're the life of the party
Know that step, you're the life of the party (oh, oh, oh, oh)
(Ooh, ooh, ooh yeah)
I got two little ladies
I got one little room
There's a room full of liquor
Baby, what you wanna do?
The way you move got me feeling so, oh
I been thinking 'bout it, baby
I been thinking 'bout it lately
I'm so far gone and you are too
Show me how you
Go downtown with the drugs in your body
Take that step, you're the life of the party
Know that step, you're the life of the party (oh, oh, oh, oh)
(Ooh, ooh, ooh yeah)
I love how you touch, how you feel, how you breathe
Baby, how you do it so good?
How you twist with your hips got the room so small, baby
And, girl, please don't go
You're gonna please my boys
You been thinking about it, baby
Girl, you're a star
Oh, you knocked one down
Girl you knocked it down
Girl, there's one, two, three
Go downtown with the drugs in your body
Take that step you're the life of the party
Know that step you're the life of the party (oh, oh, oh, oh)
(Yeah, yeah, yeah)
The lyrics to “Life of the Party” by The Weeknd seems to be a narrative of two lovers who bond over drugs and partying. The song begins with him welcoming her to the much desirable side of life where she can lose herself and satisfy her mind. The lyrics “you’ve been really gone” suggests that she has been searching for something which she found in him, and since then, she has been filled with profound thoughts. He further adds that she has money to blow and expects that they will take some drugs together; he will mix it with her prescription and inhale it alongside. They are so high that they claim to be “on cloud nine” and encourage her to follow their path as they are the “life of the party.” They keep enjoying themselves with their bodies touching, breathing, and twisting to the music.
The Weeknd, in this song, paints a narrative surrounding drugs and partying that is quite common, especially in the pop culture genre. The lyrics suggest that the couple is in love with the high they get when they are high and partying. It further reveals that while they know the side effects of drug abuse and addiction, they are willing to go downtown with the drugs in their bodies. The song unquestionably highlights the dangers surrounding drug addiction, but it also glorifies the same action, and that's what makes it an interesting piece of music. The dark lyrics of The Weeknd's "Life of the Party" has successfully created an alluring and seductive image of two lovers high on drugs and lost in the party scene, which speaks volumes to his genius songwriting capabilities.
