In the song Weeknd sings the lyrics, You said you might be into girls/ Said you're going through a phase.
Keeping your heart safe/ Well, baby, you can bring a friend/ She can ride on top your face/ While I f**k you straight. Some have taken issue with the fact that the song suggests being attracted to people of the same gender is a "phase," and others are upset with the f**k you straight lyric.
