The Weeknd has released the first single off his upcoming LP, Hurry Up Tomorrow.

The new track “Dancing in the Flames,”dropped alongside the official music video, which was shot entirely on Apple’s iPhone 16 Pro and directed by Anton Tammi alongside director of photographer Erik Henrikkson. The Weeknd debuted “Dancing in the Flames” at his recent stadium concert in Brazil.

The Weeknd had officially announced his new project “Hurry Up Tomorrow” as the third and final installment of his trilogy that began with “After Hours” and continued with “Dawn FM.” According to a press release announcing the album, ‘Hurry Up Tomorrow’ represents “the creative apex of the project, serving as the third and final chapter crafted with existential and self-referential themes as seen with the latest visionary teasers that have set fans ablaze with anticipation for this concluding installment.” Per Billboard, ‘Hurry Up Tomorrow’ doesn’t currently have an official release date yet.

‘Hurry Up Tomorrow’ was revealed via a video trailer on The Weekend ’s social media, noting in the caption: “Yesterday was 14 years ago… We held our breath, falling into a shimmering sea in the after hours of the night… Attempted to cleanse the wounds with melodies and lights, a bulletproof bandage to shield what lies beneath. In a place where the seasons never changed, where time ceased to exist. But therein lies the problem. Today has felt like an endless spin. I keep distorting the truth, immune to the dizziness, numb to the nausea. What lies beneath — screams in silence. I look in the mirror and feel both old and new, stuck in limbo and unable to move. I still haven’t faced myself. More songs could help, but what do I have left to say? Woes is me in my gilded cage, right? The very thing that once made me invincible failed me on the world stage. A new trauma surfaced, opening floodgates. A new path awaits. When today ends, I’ll discover who I am.”  Check out the album trailer HERE.
