"Curve" is a song by American rapper Gucci Mane featuring Canadian singer the Weeknd. Written alongside producers Nav and FrostADX, it was released on September 13, 2017, as a promotional single from Mane's eleventh studio album Mr. Davis (2017).
Gucci Mane premiered the song on Beats 1 on September 13, 2017, as a promotional single for his album Mr. Davis. He told Zane Lowe, "I'm a huge fan and I respect the Weeknd and whole team of XO. We exchanged numbers and started build a rapport with each other. And we were bouncing off records; I'll send him records, he'll send me beats. And then one day he sent me this record that NAV produced. It was like an early birthday gift or Christmas present."[1]
The song has been described as "hypnotic"[2] and is about the artists' "playboy lifestyles".[3] The Weeknd performs the first verse and chorus, singing about charming women and briefly spending time with them "before curving with no mercy".[4] Gucci Mane raps about his high reputation enthralling women in the second verse.
The official music video premiered on GQ on November 10, 2017.[5] Directed by David Helman,[6] the video is in black-and-white and sees Gucci Mane and The Weeknd in a grim alley. Throughout the video, the camera angle slowly twists and turns, revealing multiple clones of the artists singing and dancing.[7]
