The Weeknd’s ‘Cry for Me’ Might Be About Bella Hadid—And Honestly, It’s Giving “Sad Boy in a Penthouse” Energy

Buy Me A Coffee

The Weeknd has done it again—blessing us with another breakup anthem, “Cry for Me,” from his brand-new album Hurry Up Tomorrow (which, let’s be real, sounds like something he screamed at his therapist).

This song? Oh, it’s peak emotional damage. We’re talking about The Weeknd deep in his feels, reminiscing about a lost love who he really thought was The One. You know, the kind of heartbreak that makes you stare dramatically out a rain-streaked window while a single tear rolls down your cheek.

Let’s break it down:

The Chorus That Screams, “I’m Not Crying, You Are”
In the chorus, The Weeknd practically begs his ex to sob over him the way he’s been sobbing over her.

🗣 “And I hope you cry for me like I cry for you / Every night for you, take it easy on me, baby.”

Translation? “Please tell me you’re also ugly-crying into a pint of Ben & Jerry’s while rewatching The Notebook because SAME.”

The Bella Hadid Easter Egg?
Okay, now here’s where things get juicy. There’s one line that makes fans side-eye the possibility that this song is about his supermodel ex, Bella Hadid.

🎤 “In this penthouse prison, I’m alone.”

Penthouse? Alone? Sir. We see what you did there.

For those who need the tea: In 2019, shortly after his again-off-again-please-stop relationship with Bella ended, The Weeknd dropped a casual $21 million on a swanky LA penthouse. And guess what? He sold it in 2023 for $19 million. Math isn’t our strong suit, but even we can see that’s a $2 million loss—and if that’s not “breakup depression” money moves, what is?

Final Verdict: Certified Sad Boi Anthem
So, is “Cry for Me” about Bella? Probably. Is The Weeknd still the reigning king of melodramatic, late-night, heartbreak bangers? Absolutely.

Go ahead, stream the song below and cry for him… like he’s crying for her. 💔😂
