Lyrics
"Repeat After Me" is the only interlude on the 'After Hours' album and its lyrics feature Abel beckoning his lover to repeat after him, which essentially brainwashes them into loving him the break-up of the duo and the girl is with someone new.
Critical reception
The song received widespread critical acclaim. According to the 'Billboard', "Repeat After Me (Interlude)" was ranked the eleventh best song from the 'After Hours' album as according to its reception, the track combines psychedelic energy thanks to Kevin Parker of Tame Impala who handles the production with bass-heavy trap rhythms. While trap is a staple in The Weeknds music at this point, sometimes, it feels like a crutch but this particular hip-hop transition is welcome, as it continues to infuse the airy, experimental sound.
