about this song
The Weeknd begins his 2015 album Beauty Behind the Madness with advice from his own mother on how his life was going to destroy him over time. In this intro, we find Abel opening up about mistakes and claiming them as such, rather than in the storytelling aspect he has utilized during his career. The song’s pre-chorus is reminiscent of the bridge on Michael Jackson’s “Billie Jean”. Abel also mentions his relationship with his mother on the grandiose Echoes of Silence track “The Fall.”
