Did The Weeknd take a dig at his ex on ‘Moth To A Flame’

The Weeknd’s brand new single with Swedish House Mafia is from the latter’s third studio album ‘Paradise Again’. The singer along with the legendary music group had teased the single a few weeks ago on Instagram and Twitter, respectively. The song is also accompanied by a stunning music video, which is helmed by Alexander Wessely.

In the song, The Weeknd talks about one of his former lovers, though it is not clear which one is he talking about. ‘The Hills’ hitmaker opens the song with, “Like a moth to a flame/ I'll pull you in, I pulled you back to/ What you need initially/ It's just one call away/ And you'll leave him, you're loyal to me/ But this time, I let you be.” In the pre-chorus, he adds, “'Cause he seems like he's good for you/ And he makes you feel like you should/ And all your friends say he's the one/ His love for you is true.” The Weeknd further takes a dig as he sings, “But does he know you call me when he sleeps?/ But does he know the pictures that you keep?/ But does he know the reasons that you cry?/ Or tell me, does he know where your heart lies?/Where it truly lies.” The Weeknd is all set to drop his new album ‘The Dawn’ very soon. A release date is yet to be announced.
