The Life of The Weeknd

You're singing to people, you know? It's an emotional thing. You're not normal if you sing to people. You know what I mean? You're not a normal person. So it's nerve-wracking. You're literally putting yourself out to hundreds and thousands of people. I felt like I've experienced enough before my career started, and at that point, 21 years of living, when I say this a lot, I have enough experience to write the rest of my catalogue, I feel, and continue whatever story that is that I'm telling. There was a point where we're dropping out of school and getting into fights, and not being home forever because I left home. She's just happy I'm not dead in jail at this point. Amazing. That's the future to me. That could be the future of R&B. I really like that record. I came in as my big bro and showed the world what I could do. From then on, it's been like he's always been supporting me, and I've always been supporting him. Behind the scenes, we're still very close. The trilogy was more like wealth was the motive, and then after Kiss Land, we finally have the wealth and we're enjoying it. Face when I'm with you, but I love it, but I love it. It was the fastest song I had written on Beauty Behind the Madness. It was one of the last records. It almost didn't make the record. I wrote that in about 40 minutes, recorded it, and it ended up being one of my biggest records ever. We've been to clubs together, we party together, so there's been a little bit of a relationship there. It wasn't just a random email like, hey, you want to work with us? We're already comfortable to work with each other. These guys are like our idols and idols to most artists.
