We Still Don't Trust You
Future, Metro Boomin & The Weeknd
"We Still Don't Trust You" is the title track of the second half of Future and Metro Boomin's 2024 double project, and it's the moment the record stops throwing punches and turns inward. Metro builds it as a slow, cavernous piece — gospel-adjacent organ swells, a churchy chord progression, drums that arrive late and stay restrained — closer to a hymn than a trap record. The Weeknd sings most of it, and it's some of his most exposed work in years: high, unsteady, singing about being unable to believe anyone, about wealth that insulates and isolates, about women and friends who might be studying him for weaknesses. Future's verse is the counterweight, more slurred and fatalistic, treating paranoia as simple fact rather than wound. The whole thing is drenched in reverb, so voices feel like they're echoing in an empty house. Set against the album cycle's very public feuding, the song reads as the actual emotional cost underneath the sport of it — distrust as a permanent condition, not a diss. Best played loud in the dark, alone, at the hour when you start reconsidering everyone you know.
