The Weeknd - In The Night (Lyrics)

[AjayVizOfficial]

I just got this song stuck in my head after not hearing it for 6 years 😂 edit:omg thanks for the likes

[Stevenh]

Michael Jackson would be glad to see this guy spread his music all over the world

[lupitalomeli]

"In the night she was dancin' to relieve the pain"
"He was so cold and unforgiving"
"She was young and she was forced to be a woman"
"In the night when she comes crawlin' dollar Bills and tears keep fallin' down her face"

Damm these lines hit really hard 😭💔

I randomly got super into The Weekend, and I've been listening to all his songs on repeat. I never used to be a big fan of this song when I was younger, but actually hearing the lyrics and understanding it...it's so deep. Many of his songs are so deep.

This is a Song is about a stripper who is abused. It’s really deep when you think about it.

[blissridden]

To the people who don’t get the song. He literally says “I don’t think you understand” so even Abel called you dumb

[krystalmagana]

This song is so sad, i remember being obsessed with it when I first heard it. My mind wouldn’t really function at the time but now that I’m 13, the lyrics are understandable and it breaks my heart.

[ST-hctq]

I fell in love with this song first time I heard it had it on repeat all day

*For those who don't understand:*

Though upbeat in tempo, “In the Night” explores dark themes following a survivor of childhood sexual abuse, similar to the “horror stories” told on The Weeknd’s debut studio album, Kiss Land. The New York Times describes “In the Night” as the album’s most electric moment.

The song is reminiscent of Marilyn Monroe’s survival story – American actress and model was sexually abused as a child and often spoke out about it in the media. Interestingly, Marilyn Monroe was able to use her sexuality as a source of healing, becoming known as “America’s Most Famous Sex Symbol.”

In an interview with GQ, The Weeknd speaks about this inspiration:

Max’s studio used to be Marilyn Monroe’s old house and I came up with the concept for a song called “In the Night” in her bedroom. That was pretty amazing. Unfortunately I couldn’t help but imagine Joe DiMaggio’s sperm everywhere on the floor.

The Weeknd also revealed further inspiration to the The New York Times, stating the song was made in homage to Michael Jackson. When first played for music publisher, Ron Perry, screamed with excitement:

the 5 people who disliked the song dont understand

[Aprils.life]

Ever time I hear this song I get chills. Especially the maine singing part.

[AvocadoToast]

This is my favourite lyric video cause the background just fits the song so well. A girl's eye who looks about as powerful as the Weeknd describes. It only adds to the energy of the song.

[Yes-zotb]

I don’t know why but when I’m scared or nervous I sing this song in my head and it calms me down

[izzy]

This song reminds me of weeknds song I can’t feel my face especially in the beginning

[steezydah]

Something that made me like the weeknd for 6 years is all his songs got a story

[mohammedbondugjie]

Yo I forgot about this song, it brings back memories

[comfortlord]

After 6 years im still in love with this song

[faefiercevulpine]

The references to being raped and how she’s haunted by it are bold and deep, much appreciated lyrics. “He sang a song when he did it.” So when she hears it it makes her weak.” It’s a real thing and it’s terrible.

[metropolarts]

One of the Best R&B that I've heard ^w^

[pranavaswath]

The moosstt *underrated* weeknd song in my opinion!🥲
