The song “Professional” by The Weeknd (Abel Tesfaye) that was released in 2013, describes a woman who had dreams in living like any other woman does, but she ends up settling for something she thought would be enough to satisfy her happiness.

It’s everyone in this world who has let their heart be numb for whatever reason. Many live in this fantasy world that love is not a big deal so, if a “relationship” doesn’t work out its fine they will just find someone else who can satisfy their needs. People are selfish.
