“Given Up On Me” is a new english song by The Weeknd, featuring Future, released on The Weeknd’s official YouTube channel. Written by The Weeknd, Future, Metro Boomin, MIKE DEAN, Oneohtrix Point Never, Ned Washington, Dimitri Tiomkin, and James McCartney, the track is produced by Metro Boomin, MIKE DEAN, The Weeknd, Oneohtrix Point Never, and Nathan Salon. Featured on the album Hurry Up Tomorrow, the song delivers a melancholic and deeply introspective listening experience, blending atmospheric production with haunting melodies to explore themes of self-destruction, addiction, and emotional detachment.
The lyrics of Given Up On Me paint a harrowing picture of a man struggling with inner demons, pushing away those who care while simultaneously craving their presence. The song’s first half conveys despair and self-sabotage, as The Weeknd admits to deceit, self-inflicted pain, and an inability to be saved. The transition into the second part introduces a conflicting sense of warmth, symbolized by “the sunshine,” which represents a fleeting moment of solace. However, this momentary peace is tainted by the realization that what brings comfort is also what leads to destruction. The repeated pleas and existential questioning in the outro underscore the song’s central theme—being trapped in a cycle of self-destruction while yearning for mercy and release.

Given Up On Me Lyrics
[Intro]
Love me, love me, love me, say you do
Let me fly away with you
Satisfy this hope
Ayy, ayy, baby
[Verse]
I’ve been lying to your faces, yeah
I’ve been always wasted, it’s too late to save me
Save me (Save me), save me (Save me), save me (Save me)
Oh, save me (Woah)
Fill another cup of forsaken (Baby)
Yeah, ’til my stomach achin’, bloated in my face, and
Face it (Face it), face it (Face it), face it (Face, yeah)
Just let me go
[Pre-Chorus]
I’ll always lie to you (To you)
I’m unreliable (For you, babe)
Tell me you care for me
Just give me what I need, eh
[Chorus]
Why won’t you let me go?
Why won’t you let me leave?
I’ve given up on me, yeah
I think I’m in too deep
Why won’t you let me go? Oh-oh
Why won’t you let me leave? (Yeah)
I’ve given up on me, yeah
I think I’m in too deep
[Post-Chorus]
Oh-oh, oh-oh, oh-oh-oh-oh
I need you to let go, let go, let go, oh-oh-oh
[Bridge: The Weeknd & Future]
Why won’t you let me sleep?
Why won’t you let me go?
Why won’t you let me try?
Why won’t you let me die?
[Part II]
[Interlude]
I could never leave you alone
I could never leave you alone
I could never leave you alone
Leave you alone—
Leave you alone—
Leave you alone—
Leave you—
[Verse]
It keeps calling me back, the sunshine
I can feel the warmth on my skin for the first time
When I’m far away from you, babe, I’m on fire
My sunshine, my sunshine
I know it’s not good for me, I know it’s not good for me
I know it’s not fair to me, I know
You’re no good for me, baby, my sunshine
It’s not good for me, no, the sunshine
[Outro]
Ooh, Lord
I want your company (Eh)
Ooh, oh, Lord, oh, Lord
Don’t you give up on me
Mercy-cy me
Oh, Lord, my company
Mercy me
Oh-oh, listen
