Parent Verdict

The Weeknd's catalog includes many explicit songs with frequent profanity, graphic sexual themes, and frequent references to drug use, especially in his early mixtapes. Some radio hits like "Blinding Lights" are more mainstream, but the artist's overall body of work is intended for mature listeners, and parents should preview individual albums and tracks before allowing younger children to listen.
