I remember listening to this shit when Weeknd was still a mystery, he'd just appeared out of nowhere and completely changed r&b. I was an alcoholic drug addict at the time, and I'd never heard something that resonated with me more than this. Years later, sober as a bird, this still brings me back to that time of my life with incredible vividness, and I hear The Weeknd as essentially the personification of drugs. "Until you're used to my face, and my mystery fades" is like drugs acknowledging you will one day move past them, and "until then I got you" is them saying that today is not that day.
1. Every singer starts off as a mystery singer, so not sure of you're point there. 2. He didn't change R&B, it changed him. Unfortunately. I was a fan of him back when Trilogy first emerged, this was my guy. But then he went and got all mainstream and we can I guess say he evolved, but I personally feel he just changed to be more genre friendly which sucks. His music hasn't been the same since, and I doubt we'll ever get TRILOGY weeknd back. But still, all we can do is dream about the day he grows his freeform dreads back and taps back into this!
this song is legit about that, "till my mystery fades" "before they all love me" he knew how big he was gonna be so this song is about telling his fans at the time that he hopes they still love him and still listen@@ALTZIMATE

XO til we OverDose!! Check out my version on my channel "Dollar $aenz"... One Time for the OG DJ SCREW!! I like how still have a good tempo and can ride to it... Most "dj's" just slow it down as much as they can, don't appreciate the style. The Weeknd gives us good shit to work with and his shit sounds good either way, I'm just a screw head... "If it ain't screwed up, I don't wanna hear it, lac on pancake while I'm pouring up the syrup"... The genre is only as good as the DJ's putting out material not for a check but to show that this is our way of life... I do mine with no dj setup, just a program and $100 dj controller for those who appreciate a good chop and who need to jam while they work all day ridin... Puttin out good quality screw that catches haters attention makes me wanna do the damn thing til they bury me with everything I need to take the party w me... Thanks to the haters for keeping me on my toes and for letting me keep ur girl smiling bc hating is a 24/7 job... 100k views but you have time to tell me my shit sucks, but while you spend time paying attention to me, so is your girl... Priorities, move over or get rolled over like your girl likes to...
Dollar Saenz appreciate it. I can’t even post anymore Weeknd slowdowns bc of all the copyrights. Appreciate what you do chopping is an art. I took the slow down high quality lane because I didn’t see anyone else doing it like that. Had to create a little lane.
