Creepin' (Metro Boomin, the Weeknd and 21 Savage song)

2023 single by Metro Boomin, the Weeknd and 21 Savage

For the Lil Skies song, see Creeping (song).

"Creepin'" is a song by American record producer Metro Boomin, Canadian singer the Weeknd, and British-American rapper 21 Savage. It was sent to Italian contemporary hit radio through Republic Records and Boominati Worldwide as the lead and only single from Metro's second studio album, Heroes & Villains, on January 27, 2023. It is a remake of "I Don't Wanna Know" (2004) by Mario Winans featuring Enya and P. Diddy, which is based on a sample of the Fugees' song "Ready or Not" (1996), and itself samples Enya's "Boadicea" (1987). Winans himself returned to contribute to the song as a backing vocalist along with Travis Scott. Diddy himself would also join the artists on a remix of the song on March 17, 2023.[1]

Quick Facts '", from the album Heroes & Villains ...

Background and composition

The Weeknd and Mario Winans had previously collaborated on the title track of the former's fourth studio album, After Hours (2020), which Winans co-wrote and co-produced.[2] The Weeknd gave a shoutout to Winans on Instagram after the release of "Creepin'" and Winans also congratulated Metro on the release of its parent album, Heroes & Villains.[3] Upon release, the track instantly proved to be the most commercially-successful track on the album.[4] The song is written in the key of C-sharp minor with a tempo of 98 beats per minute.[5]

Music video

A music video for the remix of "Creepin'" was released along with it on March 17, 2023.[6] It stars all four artists and actress Coco Jones.[7] Mario Winans also makes a cameo appearance in the video.

Critical reception

The song was met with critical acclaim. Brady Brickner-Wood of Pitchfork pointed out the track as a prime example for Metro's ability to think outside the box "without sacrificing the foundation of what makes his music so appealing in the first place".[8] Jason Lipshutz at Billboard called the song a standout track on the album due to Metro engaging "in some rollicking genre exercises" and "joyfully" re-creating "I Don't Wanna Know".[9]
