Often
The Weeknd · Other Songs - The Weeknd
[Verse 1]
I usually love sleeping all alone
This time around bring your friend with you
But we ain't really going to sleep at all
You ain't gonna catch me with them sneak pictures
In my city I'm a young god
That pussy kill be so vicious
My god white, he in my pocket
Get me redder than the devil 'til I go nauseous
[Hook]
Ask me if I do this every day, I said "Often"
Ask how many times she rode the wave, "Not so often"
Bitches down to do it either way, often
Baby I can make that pussy rain, often
Often, often, girl I do this often
Make that pussy poppin', do it how I want it
Often, often, girl I do this often
Make that pussy poppin', do it how I want it
Often
[Verse 2]
Infatuated by the fame status
She wanna ride inside the G-Class Grain, matted
I come around, she leave that nigga like he ain't matter
That girl been drinkin' all day, need to change bladder
She's just happy that the crew's back in town
She's 'bout to go downtown for a whole hour
If I had her, you can have her, man it don't matter
I'm never sour, I'm just smokin' somethin' much louder
[Hook]
[Bridge]
Oooh, the sun's risin' up
The night's almost up
The night's almost done
But I see your eyes
You wanna go again
Girl, I'll go again
Girl, I'll go again
[Hook]

Often - The Weeknd
Released in 2011, "Often" stands as a pivotal track in The Weeknd's early career, marking his transition from R&B soul to a darker, synth-driven pop sound. The song features a haunting melody and atmospheric production that became a signature element of his debut era. It was later reimagined as a centerpiece on the critically acclaimed Trilogy EP, where its moody aesthetic and emotional depth were fully realized. The track exemplifies The Weeknd's ability to blend melancholic vocals with electronic textures, influencing a generation of artists who sought to redefine modern R&B. Its enduring popularity highlights its status as a defining recording of the early 2010s alternative pop landscape.
