Creepin’ Lyrics

[Intro]
(Just can't believe this, man)
(Metro Boomin want some more, nigga)

[Verse 1: The Weeknd]
Somebody said they saw you
The person you were kissing wasn't me
And I would never ask you
I just kept it to myself

[Chorus: The Weeknd]
I don't wanna know
If you're playin' me, keep it on the low
'Cause my heart can't take it anymore
And if you creepin', please don't let it show
Oh, baby, I don't wanna know

[Verse 2: The Weeknd]
I think about it when I hold you
When lookin' in your eyes, I can't believe
And I don't need to know the truth
Baby, keep it to yourself

[Chorus: The Weeknd]
I don't wanna know
If you're playin' me, keep it on the low
'Cause my heart can't take it anymore
And if you creepin', please don't let it show
Oh, baby, I don't wanna know

[Bridge: Mario Winans, The Weeknd, Both]
Did he touch you better than me? (Touch you better than me)
Did he watch you fall asleep? (Watch you fall asleep)
Did you show him all those things that you used to do to me?
If you're better off that way (Better off that way)
There ain't more that I can say (More that I can say)
Just go on and do your thing and don't come back to me

[Verse 3: 21 Savage]
Woah, woah, woah, 21
Had me crushin', I was cuffin' like the precinct
How you go from housewife to a sneaky link?
Got you riding 'round in all type of Benzes and Rovers
Girl, you used to ride in the rinky-dink
I'm the one put you in Eliantte (On God)
Fashion Nova model, I put you on the runway (On God)
You was rockin' Coach bags, got you Chane'-ne'
Side bitch in Frisco, I call her my Bay-bae (21)
I got a girl, but I still feel alone (On God)
If you playin' me that mean my home ain't home (On God)
Havin' nightmares of goin' through your phone (21)
Can't even record, you got me out my zone

[Chorus: The Weeknd]
I don't wanna know
If you're playin' me, keep it on the low
'Cause my heart can't take it anymore
And if you creepin', please don't let it show
Oh, baby, I don't wanna know
If you're playin' me, keep it on the low
'Cause my heart can't take it anymore
And if you creepin', please don't let it show
Oh, baby, I don't wanna know

[Outro: 21 Savage & The Weeknd]
If you creepin', just don't let me find out (On God)
Get a hotel, never bring 'em to the house (On God)
If you're better off that way
Baby, all that I can say
If you're gonna do your thing, then don't come back to me

Creepin’ Q&A

Have The Weeknd & 21 Savage collaborated before?

No. “Creepin” is the first official collaboration between the two artists.

It’s worth noting that both artists have an unreleased collaboration with rapper French Montana titled: “Another One Of Me”. The track was first previewed on The Weeknd’s radio show Memento Mori, and is expected to appear on...

Does the song sample Ready Or Not by Fugees?

“Creepin'” heavily samples Mario Winan’s “I Don’t Wanna Know”, which in turn is based off the same sample the Fugees used, Enya’s 1987 instrumental “Boadicea”.

Have the Weeknd and Mario Winans collaborated before?

Yes! Winans is a credited co-writer on the Weeknd’s 2020 song “After Hours”, having “messed around with some chord structures and changed stuff for the bridge”. In a sense, “Creepin'” might be the Weeknd’s way of returning the favour.

How did the song perform on the Billboard charts?

“Creepin'” debuted at #5 on the Billboard Hot 100 during the chart week ending of December 17, 2022.
