On “Sidewalks,” Abel and Kendrick use sidewalks as a metaphor for their path from humble beginnings to fame and fortune. It serves as the 9th track for Abel's third studio album, Starboy (2016).
Both The Weeknd and Kendrick Lamar grew up in less-than-ideal settings. Abel was born in Scarborough, Ontario, Canada, an area with one of the highest crime rates in Greater Toronto, while Kendrick grew up in Compton, California, one of the deadliest cities in the world.
This song heavily samples You Don't Know My Name by Alicia Keys
“Sidewalks” was certified platinum by the RIAA on March 13, 2020.
