"King Of The Fall" (formerly known as "Might Not") is a standalone single released by The Weeknd in 2014 which later found placement on The Weeknd's 2024 deluxe edition to his 2021 compliation record, The Highlights.[1] The song features production from Abel himself as well as DaHeala and uncredited production from MIKE DEAN.[2]
The song stands as the title track and namesake of The Weeknd's tour of the same name that kicked off that same year.[3]
Production[]
The track is primarily produced by both The Weeknd and DaHeala as well as MIKE DEAN. The song runs at a tempo of 156 in the E key with a minor mode and an alt key of 9A.[4]
Background[]
The song was either created some time in 2013 during the Yeezus sessions. Initially, the song was another one-off solo Weeknd mumble freestyle that had ultimately been thrown away similar to "Why Feel Bad" and "Lost Bicycle".[5] The song is proven to date back this early as tweets from Abel predating the song's release date back to as early as this.
Despite being made for Yeezus, the song was brought back later in April of that year for its unreleased sequel album.[6] Despite this, the song hadn't been worked on for this copy of the album for long, as the song was eventually reworked into a song for The Weeknd's album Beauty Behind The Madness entitled "Might Not".[7]

The song would eventually be completely reworked and rerecorded for, swapping the MIKE DEAN beat out for another beat which had leaned more towards a cloud rap sound produced by The Weeknd himself and DaHeala. The song would officially release on July 14th of that year on SoundCloud, albeit with a completely different cover than the current which can be seen on the left.[8]
Following the song's release, it was met with an official remix featuring both fellow singer Ty Dolla $ign and associate Belly.[9][10] Following the release of the song, a tour of the same name would begin on the 19th of September of that year.[11] The song is also believed to have been intended for The Weeknd's album Beauty Behind The Madness, though had been cut from the final track listing.
Over six years later on September 25, 2020, The Weeknd would randomly announce the song would be coming to streaming services, sharing the new cover.[12] The song would release onto streaming that same day. Another four years later, the song would make an appearance onto the deluxe of The Weeknd's greatest hits compilation album, The Highlights.[13]
Lyrics[]
[Verse 1: The Weeknd]
I'm Addy'd up, add it up, I just ate a plate for breakfast
Put it in a cup, then I mix it up with Texas
Chest feeling heavy like a midget on my necklace
Bitches that we came with got all of your bitches jealous (Oh!)
'Bout to leave the crib with a couple of my pirates
Driving by the streets we used to walk through like a triumph
Mix it in a potion like a science
That liquid G diet got a n***a so quiet
'Cause the shit so strong, got me feeling like I'm dyin' (Feeling like I'm dyin')
Shit so raw, nothing else can get me higher (Get me higher)
Only time you see me's when I'm balling with my n***as
'Cause my life too private, my ride too private (Oh!)
My flight too private, my shows so riot
My jaw so tired, I go all night in my city 'til the fall
Then it's time for me to fly her
I got a girl at home even though she ain't mine yet
[Chorus: The Weeknd]
And she gon' give it up 'cause she know I might like it (Know I might like it)
She gon' give it up 'cause she know I might like it (Know I might like it)
She gon' give it up 'cause she know I might like it (Know I might)
She gon' give it up 'cause she know I might like it (Ohh)
Baby girl, you know what I like
Baby, you know just what I like (I like)
Baby, you know what I like, like, like, like, like
[Verse 2: The Weeknd]
Don't be mad, let her get hers (Get her, get hers)
Don't be mad, let her get hers (Don't be mad; Get her, get hers)
She made her own luck, she don't give a fuck
She's tryna have fun, take a break from the love
Man, your girl so bad, let me get her (Get her, get her)
Your girl so bad, let me get her (Get her, get her)
I make my own luck, I make that pussy talk
On call till the fall, he can like it or not, n***a, back the fuck up
If you ain’t with me, motherfucker, you against me ('Gainst me)
If you ain’t complimentin' n***a, you offendin' ('Fending)
I've been out here last year wasting hella time (Hella time)
XO is the only time invested
Them Fall shows every year like a birthday (Birthday)
And I'ma do it every year in my birthplace (Birthplace)
And I ain’t been this gone since Thursday (Thursday)
I never said that I’d be sober in the first place
[Chorus: The Weeknd]
And she gon' give it up 'cause she know I might like it (Know I might like it)
She gon' give it up 'cause she know I might like it (Know I might like)
She gon' give it up 'cause she know I might like it (Know I might like)
She gon' give it up 'cause she know I might like it (Yeah; Know I might like it)
Baby girl, you know what I like (Baby girl, you know what I like)
Baby, you know just what I like (Nah, nah, nah)
Baby, you know what I like, like, like, like, like
[Bridge: The Weeknd]
Baby girl, you know what I like
Baby, you know just what I like, mm
[Verse 3: The Weeknd]
I just passed that "N***a fell off" stage
Just sold out the O2 at my own pace
I can say that I’m attached to nobody
I've been getting paper while these n***as tryna stop me
Shout my n***a Doc, that’s a mentor
Had some bad business, nothing personal
But now that word out that we back
On some young Quincy Jones, dark skin Michael Jackson
And these the motherfuckers that they packaged
Their new shit all be soundin' like my past shit
Bring your girl to my show, give her floor seats
Then she go downtown like she owe me
XO, XO, XO
Mix it up, pour it up, take it down slow
This my sound, n***a, fuck your sound
Did it from the ground, ask around, bitch
When I touch down, I'ma shake shit up
Fuck your new man, I'ma break it up
He can come back when I go on the road
But that pussy mine for the next three months
’Cause the kid back, kid back, kid back
Cop ten whips for my n***as when we land
Queen Street n***a making money overseas
Had a few more debts, I'ma pay it all in cash
Shout out XO, shout out to the boy
Broke bread on tour, man, it’s all love now
Shout my n***a Stix, doing good in these streets
Bet he popping more bottles than us right now
Reason why they stressing, city never sunny
When the kid come through with more n***as than Apollo
But ain’t shit funny, can’t nobody stop me
All my hoes are trained, I make all of them swallow
[Outro: The Weeknd]
All of them swallow, all of them swallow
All of them swallow, (I make) all of them swallow
All of them swallow, all of them swallow
All of them swallow, (I make) all of them swallow
All of them swallow, all of them swallow
All of them swallow, (I make) all of them swallow
All of, all of, all of them swallow
All of them swallow, (I make) all of them swallow
[Verse 1: Ty Dolla $ign]
She drive five hours for a n***a just to get some long dick
No flowers from her n***a out in Luxembourg
She came to Paris for a n***a
She want to introduce her parents to a n***a, shit
I just came from Milan, I had a threesome with two white bitches
Almost had a four but the black girl didn't even like bitches
I let her suck the dick, and passed her to my n***a
Bunch of bad bitches in Geneva
Twenty bottles in the club on my Visa
Smokin' like a Taylor at my table, uh
It's Pushaz Inc., the motherfuckin' label, and that XO
All my n***as on they think, we sold our souls to the devil
Local n***as say that, tell 'em to first get on my level
Out in Bern in the coupe slidin'
With a bitch, 'bout to get it poppin'
[Chorus: The Weeknd & Ty Dolla $ign]
And she gon' give it up cause she know I might like it
She gon' give it up cause she know I might like it
She gon' give it up cause she know I might like it
She gon' give it up cause she know I might like it
Baby girl, you know what I like
Baby, you know just what I like
Baby, you know what I like
[Verse 2: Belly]
Dabbin' up, dabbin' up, I just hit the wax for breakfast
Bitches tryna leave, crib so big can't find a exit
Chest feeling heavy like I 69'd with Precious-weight
Chest feeling heavy like I'm pourin' up in Texas
Told a bitch come over give me a perm, spit some G to ya
Don't you tell these hoes what you learn, this is free for ya
Kush got a triple action on some smokey shit
Long dick reach deep down, in fallopian
Half Brazilian her ass was Amazonian
Dab by the slab, got you feeling like it's opium
XO, bad hoes they call me Dablo Esco
Unless it's money me no hablo
Still wish I could have you, now I wish you would leave
Got n***as payin' your rent, you keep a trick up your sleeve
Money hidden in the walls like it's insulation
Couple Asian bitches, call it an orientation
[Chorus: The Weeknd & Ty Dolla $ign]
And she gon' give it up cause she know I might like it
She gon' give it up cause she know I might like it
She gon' give it up cause she know I might like it
She gon' give it up cause she know I might like it
Baby girl, you know what I like
Baby, you know just what I like
Baby, you know what I like
[Break: The Weeknd]
Baby girl, you know what I like
Baby, you know just what I like
[Verse 3: The Weeknd]
I just passed that "N***a fell off" stage
