[@allyson24365]

i was about to cry cuz it's honeslty one of a kind . he honestly broke all of our expectations for the song

[@alilosa5980]

"this house is not a home" is a lyric from twentyeight in HOB so now hearing him say "this house is not a home without my baby" is brilliant and shows amazing growth so proud. thanks for reacting!! XOTWOD

[@MindOfFrosty]

Ali Losa he put a bunch of those parallels throughout the whole song, too many to write out, but he is insanely genius for that and thats what makes his music so unique

[@DallyItUp]

In Twenty Eight he says "This house is not a home to you" talking about he shouldn't have let who he's singing to even come around because now they won't leave. In this song it's the other way around, she left and now it's not a home to him.

[@XODANl]

Twenty eight is part of trilogy not house of balloons

[@alilosa5980]

Music_Topic you’re right! It wasn’t in the original. My bad I meant to say it’s included in the HOB section of trilogy as the 10th track

[@botthemaddog3942]

@@alilosa5980 no you are right it's from house of ballons

[@tanvirgrewal1222]

This is what the die hard XO fans wanted. A return to the old sound but with his even more improved voice and style. Well we got it guys!! We eatin good :D Album drops March 20th its official. This song even tho I wanted this type of Abel, he shocked me, it's so dark and haunting but beautiful and honest. If the rest of the album is similar to this then this could be one of his best pieces of work since trilogy for sure. Jon great reaction as always man take a few more listens to this it gets better!! Great content man! March 20th pls come quick. XOTWOD

[@RikTaa]

Die-hard fans want new music, not old Abel. Just saying this song and album will be a mix of previous albums is just degrading and dumb. it's basicaly a NEW sound. Yall wouldn't like the album if it was like the previous one's because you already listened to that type of music 24/7 when you were listening to trilogy, mdm, starboy and bbtm. So in conclusion, this is new and its some good ass fucking music. Xo

[@tanvirgrewal1222]

@@RikTaa What I mean when I say "old music" or "old sound" is the type of subject matter and fundamentals in his music that the core fans love, the more raw, honest and darker Abel which is most certainly what it looks like we're going to be getting with this new album if you look at the 3 songs he's released so far overall, as well as him saying on his Instagram and Twitter "No more daytime music." and " get ready for a brain melting psychotic chapter." I also don't believe that I once said this coming project will be a mix of his past albums too(or that I wanted it to be). Technically every sound and song he creates is a new sound and I am not calling for Abel to totally copy any past or previous albums or projects or songs, I just want him to incorporate and bring back the foundations that made him so good in the first place and got him here, which were the qualities i listed at the start, and this is what he is doing. So that's what I meant by the term "old Abel". I, like you im sure are very excited to hear this project with Abels newer style as well as an older more previous BUT not identical foundation and nature. That's what I meant mate.

[@tanvirgrewal1222]

- Oh sorry and I never said it wasn't good ass music. I agree it's great music!! :D :D

[@iveboy96]

Honestly best song from the weeknd since Kissland ngl

[@mkelly534]

They just keep better.. Not sure how much I am going to be able to handle 😏

[@seezyray6739]

It’s important to note the references and thematic similarities between this song and previous work. On “Twenty Eight” he said, “This house is not a home to you..” and now he’s saying “This house is not a home without my baby” On “Wasted Times” he said “I don’t wanna wake up if you ain’t laying next to me” and now he’s saying, “Put myself to sleep,‬ ‪Just so I can get closer to you inside my dreams“ Sonically, he explores with some unique sounds from “KissLand” and some dark synths from “Trilogy” and drums from “Beauty Behind The Madness” - if this title track is setting the tone for what the rest of the album will be like, then we can assume and hope that he’s found a way to make an album that encompasses everything we loved about the 3 albums I just mentioned.

[@xoxoxoxoxo7783]

Brook thought the same

[@Elyv8tion]

[@TaxEvasi0n]

Reminds me of Odd Look and Nocturnal

[@hibakais]

3:28 I cried laughing😭😭 Literally had the same reaction

[@zo_xo]

It feels like another song to Bella Hadid to me. The beat makes it a really good runway song for a designer to pick up for their fashion show and eventually a show Bella Hadid will be involved in. And the lyrics...come on now.

[@ecstasyecs]

Zo my heart is praying a bella album and it’s looking pretty good so far 🥺🤩

[@zintlemtikitiki6491]

It feels like all of the 3 he has released are directed to Bella❤️🤞

Actually when you dive deeper into the lyrics it’s not about Bella

Zo Could be he misses Selena, could be Bella or someone’s was seeing under the radar 🤷🏽‍♀️

[@mkelly534]

Abel is the principal financial backer of the Clothing Line Riot Hill and they just had their initial fashion show this January in Paris. Bella even attended and say with Lamarr while wearing the brand. So maybe he will be using his music on his own line

[@tannerwoods6114]

The beat in the beginning sounds like the beat from the song OPR by Gesaffelstein, who The Weeknd collaborated with for My Dear Melancholy.

[@johnnyassflat9335]

the beat was produced by illangelo and DaHeala, the same producers that worked with him on trilogy 👀

[@antoniosanichar943]
