On the melancholy and soft sound of Metro Boomin’s “Creepin,” The Weeknd and 21 Savage talk about the vulnerability of all the lies and “keep it in secret” moments that got the cheating of their relationships — 21 also talks about the expensive things he does before to conquer fake love. Hints of the song surfaced one week before the album’s reveal, where during a now-deleted Instagram post, shows The Weeknd along with Metro Boomin joining again, hinting the participation of the singer — It would not be until December 1, where Metro Boomin would reveal the singer’s participation during an Instagram Story, through a personalized photo of the album’s cover art but with Weeknd in it. Metro would confirm it in more detail during the album’s rollout with an Instagram post showing the singer’s involvement as a comic character, where Weeknd would make a comment refering the song: Creeeeeepin' The song shows tribute to Mario Winans’s R&B classic 2004 song, “I Don’t Wanna Know”, interpolating both The Weeknd’s verses and chorus, along the sample of the song here.

[Intro]
Ooh, ooh-ooh
Ooh-ooh-ooh, ooh, ooh-ooh (Just can't believe this, man)
(Metro Boomin want some more, nigga)

[Verse 1: The Weeknd]
Somebody said they saw you
The person you were kissing wasn't me
And I would never ask you
I just kept it to myself

[Chorus: The Weeknd]
I don't wanna know
If you're playin' me, keep it on the low
'Cause my heart can't take it anymore
And if you're creepin', please, don't let it show
Oh, baby, I don't wanna know
Oh-oh, oh-oh, ooh-woah
Oh-oh, oh-oh, oh-oh

[Verse 2: The Weeknd]
Oh, yeah
I think about it when I hold you
When lookin' in your eyes, I can't believe
And I don't need to know the truth
Baby, keep it to yourself

[Chorus: The Weeknd]
I don't wanna know
If you're playin' me, keep it on the low
'Cause my heart can't take it anymore
And if you're creepin', please, don't let it show
Oh, baby, I don't wanna know

[Bridge: Mario Winans, The Weeknd, Both]
Did he touch you better than me? (Touch you better than me)
Did he watch you fall asleep? (Watch you fall asleep)
Did you show him all those things, that you used to do to me?
If you're better off that way (Better off that way)
There ain't more that I can say (More that I can say)
Just go on and do your thing and don't come back to me
Ooh, ooh-ooh
Ooh-ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh

[Verse 3: 21 Savage]
Woah, woah, woah, 21
Had me crushin', I was cuffin' like the precinct
How you go from housewife to a sneaky link?
Got you riding 'round in all type of Benzes and Rovers
Girl, you used to ride in the rinky dink
I'm the one put you in Eliantte (On God)
Fashion Nova model, I put you on the runway (On God)
You was rockin' Coach bags, got you Chane'-ne'
Side bitch in Frisco, I call her my Bay-bae (21)
I got a girl but I still feel alone (On God)
If you playin' me that mean my home ain't home (On God)
Havin' nightmares of goin' through your phone (21)
Can't even record, you got me out my zone

[Chorus: The Weeknd]
I don't wanna know
If you're playin' me, keep it on the low
'Cause my heart can't take it anymore
And if you're creepin', please, don't let it show
Oh, baby, I don't wanna know
If you're playin' me, keep it on the low
'Cause my heart can't take it anymore
And if you're creepin', please, don't let it show
Oh, baby, I don't wanna know

[Outro: 21 Savage & The Weeknd]
If you creepin', just don't let me find out (On God)
Get a hotel, never bring 'em to the house (On God)
If you're better off that way
Baby, all that I can say
If you're gonna do your thing then don't come back to me
