The Weeknd – Popular MP3 Download
Popular is a pop song by The Weeknd, Playboi Carti & Madonna, released on June 2nd, 2023. The song discusses the price of fame and the lengths that some people will go to achieve it. It tells the story of a woman who craves attention and validation from others but ultimately finds herself empty and unfulfilled. The lyrics describe how this woman calls the paparazzi to follow her around while pretending to be surprised when they show up. She lives a lie in order to maintain her public image as someone who enjoys living in the spotlight. However, despite all of this attention she receives, she still feels like something is missing.
The chorus features Playboi Carti repeating "Shawty fuck with me 'cause she know I'm popular," which speaks to how many people are attracted to those in positions of power or fame. This line reiterates that for some individuals being popular is everything.
Madonna's verse tackles similar themes about fleeing from flashing lights and trying not let them take over her life completely. She acknowledges that although there may be temptation towards popularity it can come at great personal cost. Overall, Popular provides commentary on our celebrity-obsessed culture and highlights how easy it can be for individuals seeking fame or validation through social media platforms to fall into negative patterns or habits. The catchy beat along with its thought-provoking lyrics make this track an instant favorite among fans of pop music alike.
Down Sunset, in every place, in every face
Yeah, uh
Yeah, uh, uh
Tell me, do you see her? (Yeah) 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, uh), she lives a lie
She calls the paparazzi, then she acts surprised, oh
Oh, I know what she needs (Oh)
She just want the fame, I know what she fiends (Oh)
Give her a little taste, runnin' back to me (Oh)
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
Beggin' on your knees to be popular

You can't take my soul without a fu*kin' fight (Uh, oh)
Oh, I know what she needs (Oh)
She just want the fame, I know what she fiends (Oh)
Give her a little taste, runnin' back to me (Oh)
Put it in her veins, pray her soul to keep, ooh, ooh
