The track serves as the XO anthem, XO referring to The Weeknd’s clique. He’s trying to get his girl to roll with him and indulge in his lifestyle, a pressure that becomes a key theme for the entire project.

[Verse 1]

Shots of the Henny, bottles of Patrón

Blunts to your face, you don't wanna sing no more, lost your C notes

Cabbed all day, took the bus back home

Evictions on your door, blame it on the weed, blame it on the booze

Blame it on the night-life, light's passin' you, yeah

Just don't blame it on me, that you wanna come and party

With a nigga like me, 'cause I get it

You're built like a Goddess

And it seems like you been stressin'

'Specially when your nose red

From that K, special Diet Coke

You need more bread, ‎now you got no rent

You blow that money, money

You try to window-shop, you blow another hundred

You just fuckin' goons in the day

Hipster nights downtown and your daddy don't know you're out

[Bridge]

If they don't let you in

You know where to find me

'Cause if you wanna go again

You can always call me

'Cause all we ever do is love

Open up your mind, you can find the love

Girl, you ain't alone

We all been alone

Baby, just be honest

[Chorus]

(XO) Woo, don't you forget

(XO) Don't you worry 'bout a thing

(XO) We'll be everything you need, just believe

(XO) Yeah, (XO) yeah, woah

[Verse 2]

I love it when your eyes are red, oh, yeah

Are you on my cloud yet?

'Cause I got a brand new cam, can we POV, can we POV?

Why? I wanna catch you at your best, oh

When your hair's a mess

You look so depressed

And you're filled with regret

And you feel like you gotta go home, oh

'Cause these nights pass, so much quicker than the days did

Same clothes, you ain't ready for your day shift

But you up, you need money for your face lift

Lust over love is your mindset

Waken up with most of your side wet

Another room, you hear your mom cryin'

'Cause she found your bag stuffed in the laundry

And the Bacardi from the last party

[Bridge]

If they won't let you in

You know where to find me, oh

And if you wanna go again

You can always call me

'Cause all we ever do is love

Open up your mind, you can find the love

Girl you ain't alone, we all been alone

Baby, just be honest

[Chorus]

(XO) Oh, don't you forget

(XO) No, no, don't you worry 'bout a thing

(XO) We'll be everything you need, just believe, yeah

(XO) Yeah, (XO) ooh, woah

[Part II: The Host]

[Intro]

I need, I need something from you

Oh, there's so much love to pass around

There's too much love

Girl, the night's almost done

And who you came with is already gone

You said you want me

But I remember who you are

And girl, it wasn't long ago

Didn't think I'd go this far

[Verse]

Well, I got a test for you

You said you want my heart

Well, baby, you can have it all

There's just something that I

Need from you is to meet my boys

I got a lot of boys

And we can make you right

And if you get too high

Baby, come over here and ride it out

[Outro]

Oh, oh, oh yeah

Ride it out

Oh, oh, woah, yeah

Ride it out

Ride it out

Just ride it
