"How Do I Make You Love Me?" finds The Weeknd attempting to persuade his love interest to fall for him and have a committed relationship. Abel Tesfate has built a reputation for a hedonistic party lifestyle, so craving approval is something out of character. Such is his desire for the woman, he humbly begs for her love in a way he's rarely done before. The Weeknd co-wrote the electro-dance track with Axwell, Steve Angello, and Sebastian Ingrosso of The Swedish House Mafia. It marks his third collaboration with the Scandinavian trio following their single "Moth To A Flame" and another Dawn FM track, "Sacrifice." Dawn FM executive producers Max Martin and Oneohtrix Point Never also contributed to the writing of the song along with Oscar Holter and Matt Cohn. The trippy animated video picks up in the hospital where the "Out Of Time" visual left off. After Jim Carrey gives The Weeknd a new face, the singer finds himself in a colorful, animated world. The Weeknd's cartoon version stumbles out of bed and embarks on a bloody journey through a city to find his love interest. The video's director Jocelyn Charles worked with a team of 15 animators. The Weeknd contributed to its story alongside Charles and Los Angeles directoral duo Cliqua.

I can see the real you, girl
You don't have to hide
Forget 'bout what your daddy said
I'll teach you how to shine
And I can hear the real you, girl
You don't have to hide
Forget 'bout what your daddy said
I'll teach you how to shine
And I'll teach you how to shine
And I'll teach you how to shine
And I'll teach you how to shine
And I'll teach you how to shine
And I'll teach you how to shine
And I'll teach you how to shine
Forget 'bout what your daddy said
I'll teach you how to shine

How do I make you love me?
I'll teach you how to shine
And I'll teach you how to shine
And I'll teach you how to shine

And I'll teach you how to shine
Forget 'bout what your daddy said
I'll teach you how to shine

I can see the real you, girl
You don't have to hide
Forget 'bout what your daddy said
I'll teach you how to shine
