The Real Meaning Behind 'Save Your Tears' By The Weeknd

May 2024 ยท 2 minute read

When The Weeknd dropped "Save Your Tears," it wasn't hard for fans to connect the dots and figure out that he could be singing about his high-profile romances with Selena Gomez and Bella Hadid. In the first verse, he sings, "I saw you dancing in a crowded room / You look so happy when I'm not with you / But then you saw me, caught you by surprise / A single teardrop falling from your eye." A Twitter user pointed out that these lines could be directed at Hadid and the run-in they had at Catch One nightclub following their split in August 2019. At the time, TMZ reported that the model left the hotspot after he showed up. 

In another part of the track, The Weeknd shares how he felt about his ex walking past him "like I wasn't there" and how she "just pretended like you didn't care," which may also be about Hadid, though we'll never know what exactly happened between the stars inside the club that night. 

So where does Gomez come into all of this? The line: "I broke your heart like someone did to mine," which seemingly refers to how he broke Hadid's heart like Gomez broke his when she got back with Justin Bieber soon after she and The Weeknd broke up in October 2017.
