Did You Know?

Interesting facts and trivia about Secrets. By Songfacts®.

This song is about duplicity and fading trust in a relationship. The Weeknd knows what is in his girl's mind: It's a lie, a lie I catch you every time In your lust, your lust Every time you close your eyes

The first two lines of the chorus borrow from The Romantics' 1983 hit "Talking In Your Sleep." It then ends with a sample of Tears For Fears' "Pale Shelter". Romantics guitarist Mike Skill told Billboard magazine that he enjoys the "futuristic, electronica, techno" flavor of The Weeknd's song. "What's cool is he does a little bit of his own melody on the verse and the chorus," he said. "It's good," Skill added. "From what I can tell, I think it's just a lot of the chorus in the end and he doesn't follow the melody that we use. He kind of adds his own melody. It's kind of a mash-up. Kind of a jam on top of a groove."

The song supposedly started as a country ballad inspired by Dolly Parton and Conway Twitty.
