The Pain of Suspicion: Meaning of “Creepin'” by Metro Boomin, The Weeknd & 21 Savage
The song “Creepin'” by Metro Boomin, The Weeknd, and 21 Savage is about a troubled relationship where one partner suspects the other of cheating. The lyrics express the pain and confusion of not knowing the truth and the fear of being hurt.
The Weeknd sings in the first and second verses about someone telling him they saw his partner kissing someone else. He doesn’t want to know if she’s playing him, but he can’t help thinking about it when he’s with her. He asks her to keep it to herself if she’s creepin’ (cheating) and not to let it show. The Weeknd also wonders if the other person is touching her better and if she’s showing him the same things she used to do with The Weeknd.
In the third verse, 21 Savage adds his perspective, saying that he feels alone even though he has a girl. He has nightmares about going through her phone, and he can’t even focus on recording music because of his worries.
The chorus repeats the sentiment of not wanting to know if the partner is cheating and asking them to keep it on the low. The outro emphasizes the idea of not wanting to know and urging the partner to get a hotel if they’re going to cheat and not come back.
