Opening Night by The Weeknd

Artist: The Weeknd

Genre: Pop

Length: 1:36

Opening Night is the 8th track of the album and serves as a soft intro for the following song, Reflections Laughing. The beginning portion of the song features an ethereal and chopped version of a phone error message, setting up a phone call motif for this duo of tracks. The lyrics tell one side of a conversation that grapples with anxious feelings that The Weeknd is having before a big, opening night. At the tail end of the song, a ringing tone finally plays as we transition to the next.

Opening Night lyrics

Tell me how our love grows
When you're tryna dig for lies
You're just bein' emotional, mm
When I'm being logical at times
Hate when you're irrational
When I see you chronically online
Why bring this up right now?
You know it's my opening night
Circulation gone, shakin' on the floor
Steroids in my lungs, fighting off the mud
Give me what I want, then we'll start the show
I'm fixing, I'm fixing, oh
