[Verse 1]
And I know she'll be the death of me
At least we'll both be numb
And she'll always get the best of me
The worst is yet to come
But at least we'll both be beautiful
And stay forever young
This I know, uh
This I know
[Pre-Chorus]
She told me, "Don't worry
About it"
She told me, "Don't worry
No more"
We both know we can't go
Without it
She told me, "You'll never
Be alo-oh-oh-ooh"
[Chorus]
I can't feel my face when I'm with you
But I love it
But I love it, oh
I can't feel my face when I'm with you
But I love it
But I love it, oh
And I know she'll be the death of me
At least we'll both be numb
And she'll always get the best of me
The worst is yet to come
All the misery was necessary
When we're deep in love
This I know, this I know (Girl)
Girl, I know, uh
[Pre-Chorus]
She told me, "Don't worry
About it"
She told me, "Don't worry
No more"
We both know we can't go
Without it
She told me, "You'll never
Be alo-oh-oh-ooh"
[Chorus]
I can't feel my face when I'm with you
But I love it
But I love it, oh
I can't feel my face when I'm with
You (I can't feel my face)
But I love it (But I love it)
But I love it (I can't feel my face) oh
I can't feel my face when I'm with you (When I'm with you)
But I love it (But I love it, yeah)
But I love it (But I love it,) oh
(I can't feel my face) I can't feel my face when I'm with (When I'm with you) you
But I love it (But I love it)
But I love it (Girl, I love it,) oh
Oh
Oh-oh
Ooh-ooh
[Pre-Chorus]
She told me, "Don't worry
About it"
She told me, "Don't worry
No more"
We both know we can't go (Can't go)
Without it
She told me, "You'll never
Be alo-oh-oh-
Ooh"
[Chorus]
I can't feel my face when I'm with you (I can't feel my face, girl)
But I love it (But I love it, yeah)
But I love it (Oh, I love it, yeah) oh
I can't feel my face when I'm with
You (Said, I can't feel my face)
But I love it (But I love it)
But I love it (Girl, I love it,) oh
(I can't feel my face) I can't feel my face when I'm with
(When I'm with you) you
But I love it (Know I love it, girl)
But I love it (Don't you think I do?) Oh
(I can't feel my face) I can't feel my face when I'm with
(When I'm with you) you (I can't feel my face, girl)
But I love it (When I'm with you, baby)
But I love it (Said, when I'm with you, baby,) oh
I can't feel my fa-
Uh
Hey!
About
This song personifies drug addiction, likening it to the love of a woman and has been described as “classic pop” by critics, comparing its sound to that of Michael Jackson.
This track also marked the first collaboration between The Weeknd and powerhouse pop producer Max Martin.
“Can’t Feel My Face” is the third single from The Weeknd’s second studio album; it leaked along with “In The Night” and “Acquainted,” (which was leaked as an incomplete track referred to as “Girls Born in the ‘90s”) on May 25, 2015. The song later premiered live at Apple’s WWDC, in conjunction with the announcement of the Apple Music service.
“Can’t Feel My Face” was The Weeknd’s first solo pop hit, without the aid of Ariana Grande or the Fifty Shades of Grey film. As such, it marked the completion of The Weeknd’s four-year transition from niche alternative R+B to bonafide pop stardom. The song eventually reached #1 on the Billboard chart for three nonconsecutive weeks.
