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 ↴
Oh (whoa), oh (whoa)
Oh, oh
They say my brain meltin'
And the only thing I'll tell 'em is
I'm livin' for the present and the future don't exist
So, baby take your clothes off, a chance like this
Show off what you talking 'bout (talking 'bout)
Unless you like to tease, baby
When in reality you don't know how to please, baby (please, baby)
Blue-ball queen, take your fuckin' seat, baby
Ride it out, now I know you wanna scream, baby (ma)
I'm better than your next man
And if he swingin' I get dumber than the next man (next man)
'Cause I don't play
Unless it's keys, then I play all day (all day)
You like them keys? We gon' play all day (all day)
Wet dream, fry your brain all day, all day
I think you lost your morals, girl (what?)
But it's okay 'cause you don't need 'em where we're goin'
In that two-floor loft in the middle of the city
After rollin' through the city with me
I promise you gon' see
That I'm only fuckin' twenty, girl
Amnesia, put your mind in a dream world
What you doin' in the bathroom? (Whoa)
I hear noises in the bathroom (whoa)
Baby, it's okay
We can do it in the living room
Twisting turns in 'em, the only girls that we fuck with
Seem to have twenty different pills in 'em
They tell us that they love us
Even though they want a next man
And the next man's bitch want the third man (whoa)
Eddie Murphy shit, yeah, we trade places
Rehearse lines to them and then we fuck faces (fuck faces)
Yeah, we know just how to get a buzz (get a buzz)
Mix it with the hash (hash), come fuck with us (whoa)
I'm raw, mothafucka, I'm raw
My love so lost, and my niggas, man
These bitches can't touch what we got if they wanted
I'll plug any nigga that'll step
Man, I got 'em, yeah, I got 'em
'Til the ending of our credits
Life's such a movie, filmed independent, us against the city
Please don't get offended when we don't answer your calls
And if you got a problem, come and find us, we can talk about it
What's good, young hoe? You about it?
Got a loft right now, you excited?
You excited
Ooh, ooh
Ah, ah
Ooh-ah
What you thinkin' about?

The Weeknd's song "Loft Music" appears to represent a lustful, hedonistic lifestyle without morals. The Weeknd seems to be shameless in his pursuit of immediate pleasure regardless of the consequences or effects on society. He begins by describing how his lifestyle has caused his brain to be "melting," and he lives only in the present moment. He invites a woman to take off her clothes and flaunt her body, even though she may never have the opportunity to do so again. He sees himself as superior to other men, and he talks about the women he has sex with as if they are interchangeable objects, interchangeable "bitches."
Similarly, the chorus seems to suggest that The Weeknd is not interested in understanding the world or solving its problems. He encourages others to do the same, urging them to "put your mind in a dream world" rather than dealing with reality. In the second verse, he and his friends take turns having sex with multiple women, without any apparent care for their emotional or physical wellbeing. They trade places and rehearse lines before having sex with them, as if it is all just a game. Throughout the song, The Weeknd seems to be disconnected from reality, living in a dream world in which he can do whatever he wants without any consequences.
Overall, "Loft Music" appears to be a celebration of a hedonistic, careless lifestyle. The Weeknd shows little regard for other people or morality, instead focusing on his own pleasure and satisfaction.

Life's such a movie, filmed independent, us against the city
Our lives are like a movie, but we are independent and it's us against the whole city
