about this song
The track serves as the XO anthem, XO referring to The Weeknd’s clique. He’s trying to get his girl to roll with him and indulge in his lifestyle, a pressure that becomes a key theme for the entire project. “The Host” serves as an interlude for the initiation that Abel’s girl will be faced with in the next track. This track samples George Frideric Handel’s “Sarabande,” a masterpiece of 17th Century British classical oeuvre.
