Post Malone and The Weeknd diss their ex with ‘One Right Now’

This is the very first collaboration between these two multi-platinum stars who teamed up for the song. The brand new single sheds light on the former love interest of both the musicians. They talk about how their exes are trying to win them back but they have successfully moved on. The track seems heavily influenced by The Weeknd’s chart-topping single ‘Blinding Lights’ as it has a distinct 80’s electropop sound.  

Speaking of the lyrics, Post Malone in the first verse sings, “Said you wanna have my babies/ I f**ked you so good, you should pay me/ Don't call me "baby" when you did me so wrong/ (When you did me so wrong)/ But I got over what you did already”. Both the multi-platinum singers hop on the chorus as they sing, “You say you love me, but I don't care/ That I brokе my hand on the same wall/ That you told me that he f**ked you on (That he f**ked you on)/ You think it's so easy f**kin' with my feelings (Feelings).” The Weeknd too brutally slams his own ex on his verse, “You're a stain on my legacy/ We can't be friends, can't be family (Oh)/ You probably f**k all my enemies (Oh)/ I can't let you be next to me.” You can stream the song right here.
