The great thing about listening to popular music, or any music really, is the ability to listen to and enjoy a song without paying much attention to the lyrics or what the song is really about. But did you know that there are tons of songs secretly about drugs and/or alcohol? Here are the top 10 songs you probably didn’t know were about drugs and/or alcohol.

1. “Can’t Feel My Face” – The Weeknd
