"Hardest to Love" is a song by Canadian singer The Weeknd, released in 2020 as part of his fourth studio album, "After Hours". The song explores themes of love and vulnerability, as the Weeknd reflects on a past relationship and the difficulties he had in expressing his emotions.

The song begins with the Weeknd singing, "You try with me so many times, yeah/ You're cryin' out behind the smiles". These lines suggest that the person the Weeknd is singing to has tried to connect with him on an emotional level, but he has been unable or unwilling to reciprocate. The Weeknd acknowledges that the person is hurting, despite their outward appearance of happiness.
