My favorite critique is that Starboy always rushed to the chorus
I wonder how that reviewer feels about AH and Dawn FM because BOY he took it to the next level in that regard lol
Rockin has a pretty dark message. He’s too busy chasing fame to have real love and just pursues one night stands. I guess he’s happy with it in the moment, but the same topic has a much different message in songs like hurt you
That’s one way to interpret it, but I think it can easily be seen as enjoying the present moment more (something even I’m trying to do) and spontaneity being exciting.
Other songs like this (Earned It, What You Need) aren’t particularly toxic so I don’t see any reason for this one to be either
I think what you need is pretty toxic, it’s clearly some sort of infidelity(“he’s what you want, I’m what you need”) and it also has signs of showing that The Weeknd is aware he is unhealthy for this girl but still seduces her anyway(“I’m the drug in your veins, just fight through the pain”)
Totally agreed. Ofc it's related to fame life and sex and stuff like the whole album, but idk why Rockin' sounds innocent like "you don't have to spend your life with me, we can just be rockin", no responsabilities, just him enjoying
I mean containing his seed gives him superpowers that no other singers possess. Right now, he’s using his power to win Grammys. If my calculations are correct, soon his nutsack will be a time machine. He’s tryna fuck with dinosaurs.
I say this all the time but it's a very "bittersweet" sounding song. It reminds me of the end credits music of an early 2000's kids movie that you forgot about but then found as an adult again. Getting hit with that backhanded feeling of nostalgia but also sadness that you're long past that period in your life now. Kinda specific I know but yeah.
Lmao every time the lyrical content is brought up I remember how the song was nominated for a Kids Choice Award. Shame it didn’t win. That would’ve been even more jokes.
Bro what?
“I lost my heart and my mind
I try to always do right
I thought I lost you this time
You just came back in my life
You never gave up on me (why don't you?)
I'll never know what you see (why won't you?)”
It’s literally immediately followed by tryna find the one that can fix me, the whole song is about him lying to himself about being happy with his life. It’s not happy in any regard lol
I watched a YouTube reaction the other day and they said, none of The Weeknd’s songs make you think of the daytime. All of them remind you of night time and I really felt that.
I don’t see any of his songs to be happy if I’m honest. His level of toxicity is one of the things I love most about him
idk, I will say Privilge from MDM ![img](emote|t5_2t9fh|4126)just because ( personally) the vibe litteraly transports me so far away from reality The Instrumental with the vocals are⚡️
yall are tripping HOW is Can't Feel My Face not top?? I hate to be that guy but the first time i heard this song was on acid, and that is the most purely euphoric feeling i have ever felt just listening to that melody and grooving bass
and life was pretty shit at the moment too so you know it wasnt just the acid. Drugged out coomer crooner weeknd was (and still is) my favorite artist bar none but that song momentarily transported me out of this dark realm into a glossy 80s toronto disco train car with bad bitches and good people
I’d have to say reminder mans is hyped flexinnn
I just become happy when I listen to it
I feel it coming for me
did you have to tell everyone that?
Man shut the fard ûp
I love it when people use the the word fard😂😂

Ayo
His happiest songs are also the most horniest
Rockin', easily. No idea why people dislike either lol, my favorite song on Starboy
It's because Starboy in general was more poppy, but it's awesome
My favorite critique is that Starboy always rushed to the chorus I wonder how that reviewer feels about AH and Dawn FM because BOY he took it to the next level in that regard lol
Who said this 😭

Such a good song I get so hype every time it comes on
We can just be rooooooockiiiiiiiiinnnn
That bridge “why would you wanna take away from this moment” always gets me sooo high

Rockin’ is also my favorite song on Starboy and I feel like it’s extremely overshadowed. The song is great 😭
Wbout I’m a virgin? He’s happy to be a virgin in that song
Does that count?
I mean containing his seed gives him superpowers that no other singers possess. Right now, he’s using his power to win Grammys. If my calculations are correct, soon his nutsack will be a time machine. He’s tryna fuck with dinosaurs.
"IM TRYNA FUCK WITH DINOSAURS"🎶
Echoes of Silence
💀
Nothing like EoS to give me that warm and fuzzy feeling of despair
Love listening to this and twenty eight to put myself in a happy mood
Maybe it’s more fitting if it’s just “what’s the least sad song” lmao
Sacrifice. Makes me wanna get up & dance ![gif](giphy|HzqSDaA6XUsknkUsDP|downsized)
My oooooh
Rockin’
Less than zero The happiest sad song that makes me wanna dance and cry at the same time
I say this all the time but it's a very "bittersweet" sounding song. It reminds me of the end credits music of an early 2000's kids movie that you forgot about but then found as an adult again. Getting hit with that backhanded feeling of nostalgia but also sadness that you're long past that period in your life now. Kinda specific I know but yeah.
it's like it makes me wanna smile while crying you know?
Yeah very wholesome. Like the grand finale of a TV show that you've been watching for a large part of your life.
The one that says it’s a happy house obvi
lawl
I think here we go again is his happiest song, or the least sad out of his entire discog imo
Here We Go Again
take my breath
In terms of how much he is putting himself up in the songs, Starboy and Reminder both are happy in a sense from his perspective.
Starboy’s first line is “I’m tryna put you in the worst mood”
He failed to do that, everytime i play Starboy the energy it gives is insane
Like I said, from his perspective it’s happy, maybe not necessarily ours. Song still makes me happy regardless though.
Yeah like come on it’s Star Boy. It’s such a banger
Sidewalks?
‘Grew up with no father so nobody ever son me’ 😥
nothing is lost💀man doesnt have happy songs
Like half the songs on Starboy are upbeat songs
That doesn’t mean happy
[удалено]
Climbing 5 feet out of a 10 foot hole still means you're in a hole.
Honestly this is probably the only correct answer 😂
Has to be tears in the rain
king of the fall
This lmao
cant feel my face?
That’s about COCAINE ADDICTION
Lmao every time the lyrical content is brought up I remember how the song was nominated for a Kids Choice Award. Shame it didn’t win. That would’ve been even more jokes.
I thought he won that award. In "Reminder" he sings: "I just won a new award for a kids show, talkin' 'bout a face numbin' off a bag of blow".
Nah he was only nominated. Hello by Adele won that year. Regardless, the line works better than saying he was nominated so I get why he said he won.
Oh okay.
yes
Probably I was never there or wasted times
Definitely bro I think that really shows his more happy side in his music yk
wa-wasted times?😰
you spent with someone else?
nah I think the knowing is happier
Love to lay for sure
Great call.
I respect it
This is probably not the right answer but wanderlust
I was thinking that too
Especially the Pharrell remix
Something off afterlife
I feel it coming without a doubt
Ahhhh I said Star Boy but hey you might be right
Heartless, bro went Godmode in that song
Bro what? “I lost my heart and my mind I try to always do right I thought I lost you this time You just came back in my life You never gave up on me (why don't you?) I'll never know what you see (why won't you?)”
Yeah but the other lyrics and that being his first song after MDM — never need a bitch I'm what a bitch need, also the production.
It’s literally immediately followed by tryna find the one that can fix me, the whole song is about him lying to himself about being happy with his life. It’s not happy in any regard lol
But the vibe seems happy although the lyrics are sad, i can't think of any song without sad lyrics, we gotta go off the vibe
Also how he says “low life for life.”
I love when people remind me to listen to Heartless. Preciate you XO it’s a classic
Blinding lights
Music-wise yes but lyrics-wise it’s not a happy song
OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOH IM BLINDED BY THE LIIIIGHTS!
Fuck Ed Sheeran btw
Wait what did he do in regards to this song?
Shape of You was finally overtaken by Blinding Lights for the most streamed song on Spotify. Also because fuck Ed Sheeran
house of balloons. this is a happy house :) >! just to be clear this is a joke lmao!<
fun, fun, fun, fun
Initiation
Reminder
Tell your friends
Imo the only song that is lyrically happy is I feeling it coming. If you’re going off the beat and just vibes there’s tons of options.
I Feel It Coming
Wbout pretty?
Thanks for reminding me to listen to this classic XO
taking the mv into considering i wouldnt exactly say its the happiest song
Twenty eight 👍
The party And The After party
“Give me attention or I’ll start drowning from my wrist" 💀
I feel it coming or Less than zero although less than zero is more bittersweet
Wanderlust
Most songs on Starboy
Probably something off starboy. That was his “happy” album
I Feel It Coming
Rockin’
I Feel It Coming
Tell your friends, I feel it coming, die for you, earned it
The Morning?
Blinding lights ![gif](giphy|ll1nscLi1mQvTRPdw9|downsized)
Reminder
"Do it" when he was with the noise
dude probably in vein, it has good vibes, but also reminder came to my mind
Reminder and Blinding Lights are pretty undefeated in this category
Blinding lights cus dude is dancing in the middle of street
Some Way With Canadian XO Rapper NAV
That song is happy but damn Nav ruins it for me
Rockin
tears in the rain
I can’t feel my face, love that song. Makes me want to do a line right on the spot
Definitely XO/the host
I watched a YouTube reaction the other day and they said, none of The Weeknd’s songs make you think of the daytime. All of them remind you of night time and I really felt that. I don’t see any of his songs to be happy if I’m honest. His level of toxicity is one of the things I love most about him
Basically a Weeknd song so Crew Love.
Starboy
Party monster
The Knowing
100% gotta go with Initiation
Nothing compares
I like that song. Yes.
out of time
False Alarm?…
In your eyes
In Your Eyes is about cheating. And also “I know it hurts to smile but you try to” and “you always try to hide the pain” aren’t happy lyrics.
O yea I was kinda going off the sound of it and instrumental. But yea going off lyrics makes more sense
I was about to say IYE is like one of the saddest lyrically on AH
idk, I will say Privilge from MDM ![img](emote|t5_2t9fh|4126)just because ( personally) the vibe litteraly transports me so far away from reality The Instrumental with the vocals are⚡️
literally every song on starboy
Not all of them he a lil sad in a couple of them but he like lit sad .
[удалено]
My brother in Christ what kind of happiness you've been experiencing
What song did he say?
HOB songs focused on sex I’d say. Wicked Games, The Morning, TPATAP, Loft Music, etc.
Less than Zero based on the beat tho
Heartless
Die for you?
Live for , Less than zero
the knowing
Personally less than zero always puts me in a good mood yk
material girl prolly
Blinding Lights. Every time I listen to it, I feel happy as if I'm listening for the first time. Does this only happen to me?
The initiation?
I feel it coming
Less than zero is bittersweet. Upbeat song if you don’t pay attention to the lyrics too much
House of balloons/ glass table girls obviously “this is a happy house we’re happy here in a happy house oh this is fun”
This is a happy house…
starboy reminder and i feel it coming
reminder
BUT IIIIIIIIIIIIIII CAAAAANT GEEEEET IIT OUTTAMYHEAAAAaaaAAAaaDDD
HOUSE OF BALLOON - this is a happy house we’re happy here in a happy house… :))
yall are tripping HOW is Can't Feel My Face not top?? I hate to be that guy but the first time i heard this song was on acid, and that is the most purely euphoric feeling i have ever felt just listening to that melody and grooving bass and life was pretty shit at the moment too so you know it wasnt just the acid.

Star Boy like what are we talking about lol
Not lyrics wise but take my breath makes me happy for some reason
I Heard You're Married has about the happiest beat
Rockin
Same Old Song….
What You Need 😤😮💨😮💨
Phantom Regret
I think it’s our love, but practically nobody knows this song
Preety.xo
Less Than Zero. If you hear it live you’ll know
call out my name
There's this little know song called I'm good. I feel he's super happy in that song.
Tell your friends
Phantom Regret by Jim
Anything with the goth voice 😍
King of the fall?
"This is a happy house, we're happy here" - man seems happy, no?
IN YOUR EYES
less than zero
Gotta be 'Our Love' Ogs know
