Popular Lyrics » The Weeknd
[Intro: Madonna &
The Weeknd
]
I’ve seen the devil
Down Sunset
In every place
In every face
Yeah (Uh, uh)
Yeah (Uh, uh)
[Verse 1: The Weeknd]
Tell me, do you see her? (Yeah; uh) She’s livin’ her life (Uh)
Even if she acts like she don’t want the limelight (Uh, yeah; uh, uh)
But if you knew her (Yeah-yeah; uh), she lives a lie
She calls the paparazzi, then she acts surprised
Oh
[Pre-Chorus: The Weeknd]
Oh, I know what she needs (Oh-oh; uh)
She just want the fame, I know what shе fiends (Oh-oh; uh, yeah)
Give hеr a little taste, runnin’ back to me (Oh-oh; uh)
Put it in her veins, pray her soul to keep, ooh
Ooh, every night (Every night; uh), she prays to the sky
Flashin’ lights is all she ever wants to see
[Chorus: The Weeknd]
Beggin’ on her knees to be popular
That’s her dream, to be popular (Ha)
Kill anyone to be popular (Hm)
Sell her soul to be popular (Popular)
Just to be popular (Uh-huh)
Everybody scream ’cause she popular (Ha)
She mainstream ’cause she popular
Never be free ’cause she popular

FAQs About Popular
What have the artists said about the song?
The Weeknd
went on Apple Music to do
an interview
with host Zane Lowe. Around the 3:45 mark, Zane asks Abel about how “Popular” came about, the elusiveness of the
Playboi Carti
&
Madonna
features and “the chemistry of it all” to which he responded:
No, I’m proud of it, I’m definitely proud of it. Me and Carti had this- I mean we’ve jammed out before, and I’ve actually worked with him, we’ve had a different version of this song prior so I’ve had these vocals for a while and I kind of, you know, worked around it, and then kind of kept it in the tuck. But now it felt like it was time, and it felt right, and it felt cohesive with this album I’m working on right now. So I’ve been producing this song for a while and then Madonna matched. The thing is, I’ve always wanted to work with her. I’ve always wanted to write and produce a Madonna album, oh well, cowrite and coproduce with her because she’s such a visionary, and she has such a singular vision and I just want to come into her world, you know, and create a classic Madonna album, that was always my dream. So you know, this, hopefully, could be the appetizer for that.
Days later, Madonna took to Instagram and made a
post
with the caption:
Cant get This Song Out of My Head!
