Twenty Eight (song)

"Twenty Eight" is a song by the Canadian singer-songwriter the Weeknd, featured as a bonus track on the version of his debut mixtape House of Balloons (2011).

[1] Many early songs by Tesfaye are about him tricking, manipulating and cheating on his girlfriends, but in "Twenty Eight" the roles are reversed.

[5] The song is named "Twenty Eight" due to there being 28 grams in an ounce, which is something important for drug dealers to know.

[5][7] "Twenty Eight" was first heard by the general public when Tesfaye sent the track to DJ Zane Lowe, who in turn played the song on BBC Radio 1.

[13] The video features Tesfaye on a talk show, with him being unable to focus due to seeing visions of his ex girlfriend.
