The Morning by The Weeknd Song Info
The morning has come for Abel and his love interest, and the high from the previous night sends Abel’s girl departing and Abel himself into a candid, reflective state about his musical progression as well as the females that emerge in his nightlife: prostitutes and strippers. A favorite of many XO fans (including Taylor Swift), this song has appeared on both Capital Xtra’s and Red Bull’s lists of best Weeknd songs. This is the second of three tracks that would be produced (and ultimately secured) from producer Jeremy Rose. Abel would later feud for rights to the songs. The version that appears on House of Balloons and Trilogy is not the Rose-produced version. Rose’s demo, one of the three 2010 drops that first brought fans to the Weeknd, featured pitched-down rapping and a faster tempo—likely recorded during The Weeknd’s Kin Kane days.
