Faith

There is a loose theme running through After Hours of The Weeknd wanting to leave behind his hedonistic lifestyle. This song is his relapse moment on the album. I've been sober for a year, now it's time for me To go back to my old ways, don't you cry for me Thought I'd be a better man, but I lied to me and to you The Weeknd has lost faith in himself because of his return to drug abuse.

We hear sirens in the background near the end of the song; they signify that The Weeknd has either ended up in an ambulance because of an overdose, or the back of a police car due to his intake of illegal substances.

The Weeknd wrote and produced the song with Atlanta-based producer Metro Boomin and his long-term collaborator, Illangelo. Canadian rapper Belly also contributed to the writing of the track.
