As the Weeknd’s new album, Dawn FM … dawns, so have the fan theories. Abel Tesfaye has never shied from drawing on his personal life in his music — remember My Dear Melancholy and all its Selena Gomez references? Still, one particular song on Dawn FM surprised fans with its lyrics: “I Heard You’re Married.” Sound like a shot at the Weeknd’s “Save Your Tears” and “off the table”
collaborator Ariana Grande? The same Ariana Grande whom fans often theorize dated the Weeknd and who indeed got married last year as the Weeknd prepped the follow-up to his 2020 smash, After Hours. So did the Weeknd and Ari hook up — and did he save his tears about the split for his new album? And on top of it all, how does Angelina Jolie fit into this mess?! Let’s break it down.
What is “I Heard You’re Married” about?
Nothing good, that’s for sure! The Weeknd saves some of his biggest punches for one of the final songs on Dawn FM, on which he sings about being in “a fling” with a woman who’s already taken. “It hurts to think I’m sharin’ you,” he sings in the first verse
Later, he goes on to state things more plainly: “Why you even with him if you’re cheatin’?” he asks his partner. As the song goes on, he has decided to leave the affair, telling the girl in question, “I can’t be with you / You’re too deceiving, girl.” Sorry to this woman!
