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 ↴
My love, my love
And I know that you want 'em too
My love, my love
I ask you what your heart desires
My love, my love
You tell me I'm the only one
My love, my love
It's a lie, a lie
I catch you every time
In your lust, your lust
Every time you close your eyes
I hear the secrets that you keep
When you're talkin' in your sleep
I hear the secrets that you keep, keep, keep
When you're talk, talkin', talkin'
I hear the secrets that you keep
When you're talkin' in your sleep
I hear the secrets that you keep, keep, keep
When you're talk, talkin', talkin'
You told me not to worry 'bout
Those guys, those guys
You told me that you left it all behind
Behind
It's a lie, a lie
I catch you every time
In your lust, your lust
Every time you close your eyes
I hear the secrets that you keep
When you're talkin' in your sleep
I hear the secrets that you keep, keep, keep
When you're talk, talkin', talkin'
I hear the secrets that you keep
When you're talkin' in your sleep
I hear the secrets that you keep, keep, keep
When you're talk, talkin', talkin'
Wipe the lust from your eyes
I see that you're not mine
I can see the lust in your eyes (wipe the)
You can't hide it (lust from your eyes)
You can't be the one (I)
I rely, we're divided (see that you're not mine)
I hear the secrets that you keep (the secrets that you keep)
When you're talkin' in your sleep (talkin' in your sleep)
I hear the secrets that you keep, keep, keep (the secrets that you keep)
When you're talk, talkin', talkin' (oh)
I hear the secrets that you keep (hey, the secrets that you keep)
When you're talkin' in your sleep (talkin' in your sleep)
I hear the secrets that you keep, keep, keep (the secrets that you keep)
When you're talk, talkin', talkin'
The lyrics of "Secrets" by The Weeknd express the themes of infidelity and betrayal in a relationship. The singer is aware that his partner is not entirely truthful with him and is secretly sleeping with other people while also lying about it. Even though the partner reassures the singer that he is the only one, he knows it's not true, and he catches her every time. The song suggests that the singers' relationship is built upon false promises and secrets.
The lyrics suggest that the singer is tormented by his partner's infidelity, and he hears the secrets she keeps when she talks in her sleep. It is as if the sleeping partner's subconscious reveals the truth that she does not tell her partner. These secrets are a reflection of the dishonesty in the relationship, and the singer feels betrayed by his partner's actions. The repeated phrase "I hear the secrets that you keep" emphasizes the sense of betrayal and suspicion in the relationship.
Overall, "Secrets" is a song about a broken relationship based on lies and secrets. The lyrics express the singer's frustration with a partner who cannot be truthful with him. The song is a sad reminder that sometimes love cannot conquer all, and when a relationship is based on lies and deceit, it is ultimately doomed to fail.
