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.

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
In a world without an end or beginning
Baby girl was living life for the feeling
But I don't mind, I don't mind
And all the wrongs she committed
She was numb and she was so co-dependent
She was young and all she had was the city
But I don't mind, I don't mind
And I know that she's capable of anything, it's riveting
But when you wake up she's always gone, gone, gone
In the night she hears him calling
In the night she's dancing to relieve the pain
She'll never walk away (I don't think you understand)
In the night when she comes crawling
Dollar bills and tears keep falling down her face
She'll never walk away (I don't think you understand)
He sang a song when he did it
He was cold and he was so unforgiving
Now she dances to the song on the minute
Yeah, all the time, all the time
It make her weak when she hear it
And it got her on her knees like religion
She was young and she was forced to be a woman
Yeah, all the time, all the time
And I know that she's capable of anything, it's riveting
But when you wake up she's always gone, gone, gone
In the night she hears him calling
In the night she's dancing to relieve the pain
She'll never walk away (I don't think you understand)
In the night when she comes crawling
Dollar bills and tears keep falling down her face
She'll never walk away (I don't think you understand)
I don't think you understand
In the night she hears him calling
In the night she's dancing to relieve the pain
She'll never walk away (I don't think you understand)
In the night when she comes crawling
Dollar bills and tears keep falling down her face
She'll never walk away (I don't think you understand)

She is numb and co-dependent, committing all sorts of wrongs, but the city is her only solace. The singer of the song is aware that the young lady is capable of anything but always disappears every time he wakes up. The choruses shed light on the woman's pain and how she copes with it. She dances to the song in the minute, which drives her to her knees like religion. The chorus repeats the line "In the night she hears him calling" emphasizing the fact that she cannot escape her pain and is always crawling.
The lyrics to "In The Night" tell a story of a woman who has become a victim of the life she's living. The world she's living in is never-ending, and it's hard for her to see a way out. The Weeknd sings about her dependence on the city as her only source of comfort, which indicates that she does not have a healthy support system. She is shown dancing to relieve her pain, and it becomes clear that this is a routine she is used to as the lyrics repeat the line, "She'll never walk away."

Line by Line Meaning
All alone she was living
She was isolated and detached from other people
In a world without an end or beginning
Her life seemed meaningless and aimless
Baby girl was living life for the feeling
She sought pleasure as a way to escape her pain and loneliness
But I don't mind, I don't mind
But the artist doesn't judge her for her actions
And all the wrongs she committed
She made mistakes and bad choices
She was numb and she was so co-dependent
She was emotionally shut down and relied on others for support
She was young and all she had was the city
She was inexperienced and only had the city as her environment
And I know that she's capable of anything, it's riveting
The artist sees her potential for greatness as exciting
But when you wake up she's always gone, gone, gone
But she is always gone when he wakes up, leaving him alone
In the night she hears him calling
She longs for connection and affection from him
In the night she's dancing to relieve the pain
She uses dancing as a way to cope with her emotional pain
She'll never walk away (I don't think you understand)
She won't leave him because he doesn't understand her attachment to him
In the night when she comes crawling
She reaches out to him in a state of vulnerability
Dollar bills and tears keep falling down her face
She cries because of the emotional toll of her lifestyle
He sang a song when he did it
The man sang a song during a sexual act
He was cold and he was so unforgiving
He was emotionally distant and unrelenting
Now she dances to the song on the minute
Now she associates the song with the man and it controls her actions
It make her weak when she hear it
The song makes her give in to her vulnerabilities
And it got her on her knees like religion
The song has a powerful hold on her and makes her submissive
She was young and she was forced to be a woman
She was pushed into adulthood too soon and had to cope with the consequences
I don't think you understand
The man doesn't fully comprehend her struggles
