The dawn has finally arrived.

On Friday, January 7th, The Weeknd shared his long-awaited album, Dawn FM, which sees appearances from Tyler, the Creator, Jim Carrey, Lil Wayne, and more. The project has only been out for a few hours now, but listeners are already raving about the Canadian artist's incredible talent.

Of the 16 tracks on the new arrival, it seems that many have been loving The Weeknd x Lil Wayne collab on "I Heard You're Married," which sees the two stars recounting their experience with a lover who wanted to keep them as a piece on the side.

"Can't be your side bitch/That shit ain't fly, bitch/Can't be your pilot/Can't be your private/Make me your obvious/If I ain't your husband, I can't be your hybrid," Wayne raps on his verse, before joining Abel for one last chorus to close out the nearly four and a half minute long track.

Quotable Lyrics:

The way you hypnotized me, I could tell (Uh)
You've been in control
You manifested this, but girl, I blame myself
Things I shoulda known
The whispers that I hear
Are blowin' through my ears
These words I need to hear from you
And I know this is a fling
But you're hidin' someone's ring
It hurts to think I'm sharin' you
