“Often” appeared on The Weeknd’s 2015 Beauty Behind the Madness project, and was initially released in 2014. This, however, is a demo version of the song.

Compared to the final released version, the differences in this demo are minimal: the song structure; the sample of “Ben Sana Vurgunum” (I Am in Love with You); and the topic are all the same. The only notable differences are the incoherent and incomplete lyrics, as well as the seemingly-extended bridge towards the end of the song.

The song leaked on March 29, 2018.
