Here, The Weeknd croons about letting go of someone for whom he maintains a great deal of love. Though they are ending their relationship, the singer would still do anything, even die for her.
The Weeknd wrote "Die For You" for Starboy, only completing it a week before the album's release.
Many fans speculated Abel Tesfaye wrote "Die For You" about his breakup with the supermodel Bella Hadid. The pair ended their relationship close to Starboy's official release because of their scheduling conflicts and the thousands of miles between them. The Weeknd hints at this when he sings of "the distance and the time between us." After breaking up with Bella Hadid in November 2016 and dating Selena Gomez, Abel reconnected with the supermodel. They broke up for good in 2019.
