The meaning of the lyrics of the song "Next" by the artist "Weeknd, The"

The Weeknd’s “Next” tells the story of the lyrical hero encountering a girl at a club. She behaves provocatively and clingy, trying to get him into bed. The hero, however, sees right through her game: she is only looking for a fleeting connection to numb the pain of a recent breakup.

The phrase "She’s been shaking her ass since Monday" is metaphorical and describes her promiscuous behavior in the club. She is not looking for love, she is "scoping" the hero, even willing to pay for his attention.

The hero does not give in to the provocation, he is faithful to his girlfriend and is not going to waste himself on casual affairs. "I’m a seasoned vet when it comes to this" - he says, emphasizing his experience and ability to see right through her.

The chorus conveys the main message of the song: "You just want me ‘cause I’m your next...". The girl sees nothing special in the hero, he is just another way for her to drown out the pain and loneliness.

She popped that pussy on a Monday

She never falls in love

But she heard me in the club, she put in work

She wanna give me all her money

She used to spend it all alone

'Cuz her man went and did her wrong,

So she...

But baby I'm not trying to be the one

I got my baby waiting home

She been too good to let that go

And I ain't tryna win your heart

And you can't pay to win my love

So keep dancin, baby, keep dancin, dancin

Keep dancin, dancin, keep dancin...

[Female whisper: ]

I want you

I know,

Yes I know...[x4]

[Female whisper: ]

Baby I want you

I'm too far in this game, so let go

So let go... [x2]

[Female whisper: ]

Baby I want you

[Chorus:]

Baby, who you tryna fool

Girl, I might be twenty-one,

But I got memories to prove

That I've seen your kind before

And I know exactly what you want...

You just want me 'cuz I'm next...

You just want me 'cuz I'm next, baby

You just want me 'cuz I'm next

You just want me 'cuz I'm next...

You just want me 'cuz I'm next, baby

You just want me 'cuz I'm next

You just want me 'cuz I'm next...

You just want me 'cuz I'm next, ooh yea

You just want me 'cuz I'm next

You just want me 'cuz I'm next...

You just want me 'cuz I'm next... Ooh

Ooooooooh Oooooh Oooooh

Baby can we call this off

Don't make me smoke up all your kush

Don't make me pop your cheap ass pills

I used to do this for the thrill, ooh yea

I know you got a lot to lose

But ain't nobody here but me

So baby what you got to prove? Ooh yea

I see the way your body moves

On the pole, on the floor, you're alone

But there ain't nothing I can do

So keep dancin, baby, keep dancin, dancin

Keep dancin, dancin, keep dancin...

[Female whisper: ]

But I got memories to prove

And I know exactly what you want...

You just want me 'cuz I'm next...

You just want me 'cuz I'm next, baby

You just want me 'cuz I'm next

You just want me 'cuz I'm next...

Ooh yea, ooh yea, ooh yea [x2]
