Songfacts®:

  • This is the opening song and title track of We Still Don't Trust You, a collaborative studio album by Future and Metro Boomin. It's the second collaborative album between the pair, following We Don't Trust You, which was released exactly three weeks earlier.
  • This isn't their first rodeo – Future and Metro Boomin have been dropping fire together since 2013 with tracks like "Karate Chop," "Mask Off" and "Low Life." They also linked up with Drake on bangers like "Jumpman" and "Where Ya At."
  • The song features vocals by The Weeknd. The Toronto crooner previously appeared on Future and Metro Boomin's first 2024 collaboration album, We Don't Trust You, on the track "Young Metro." He also provides vocals on two other We Still Don't Trust You tracks, "All to Myself" and "Always Be My Fault."
  • This album opener sets the mood. Imagine a dark movie intro – soft drums pounding like a heartbeat, a weird beep like a hospital machine warning you something's about to go down. Then Future drops the title like a bomb, and before you know it, The Weeknd slides in with his smooth, dark vocals.
  • And the Paris girls, they sing my song with love
    In the stadium is where I feel at home
    I forgot the feeling of arena shows
    And she love the stage, it got her sexual


    The Weeknd used to be salty about girls belting out his tunes at shows. Remember that Drake collab "Crew Love" back in 2011 when he complained: "This ain't a f---in' sing-along. So, girl, what you singin' for?" Yeah, he wasn't feeling it then. But these days? Dude's all about the crowd singalongs! Seems he's developed a thing for it, even turning it into a theme in his songs. On "All To Myself" he brags about some girl screaming his lyrics the loudest in a whole Parisian stadium.

    The biggest show in Paris
    You singin' it the loudest
  • It's generally believed that the We Don't Trust You title song is a diss track aimed at Drake. It seems "We Still Don't Trust You" is straight-up firing shots at Drizzy too.

    We still don't trust you
    You fell apart, gradual
    We still don't trust you
    We broke your heart from the start


    Weeknd and Drake were once aligned to be OVO labelmates, but their relationship fizzled. As Future tells Drizzy that they still don't trust him, The Weeknd jumps in too, reminding the 6 God that he broke his heart by not signing with the label.

    And it gets messier. The Weeknd's line about a broken heart could be a jab at Drake's 2023 track "You Broke My Heart." Plus, Drake has a track called "Falling Back."
  • Future and Metro Boomin made Billboard history with We Still Don't Trust You. The record debuted at #1 on the Billboard 200, making them the first duo in the chart's history to achieve consecutive #1 albums as collaborators. Their previous project, We Don't Trust You, also reached the top spot. (The term "collaborators" refers to artists who don't normally work together).
