A stark contrast to the upbeat, EDM sounds of the early 2010s, "House of Balloons" sent music in a whole new direction. The Weeknd takes listeners through all the stages of a high. He warns us yet invites us to try to enter his world of partying, drugs, and women.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.
