The Weeknd has officially released his latest single, “Timeless,” in collaboration with Playboi Carti, adding a fresh layer to his evolving sound. This release follows a spectacular live-streamed performance in São Paulo, Brazil, where the duo premiered the track to an eager audience earlier this month.
Produced by Pharrell, “Timeless” marks the second collaboration between The Weeknd and Carti, following their earlier joint effort on “Popular” from 2023, which was tied to The Weeknd’s HBO series, The Idol. The anticipation surrounding this new track is palpable, especially as it aligns with the lead-up to The Weeknd's forthcoming album, Hurry Up Tomorrow.
Fans are already buzzing about Hurry Up Tomorrow, which is expected to feature both “Timeless” and the recently released single “Dancing In The Flames.” This album will conclude a trilogy that began with After Hours and continued with Dawn FM. The album's artwork has been revealed, showcasing a striking close-up of Abel Tesfaye’s face— a notable shift from the facial prosthetics he used in his previous era.
Described as the “creative apex” of his ongoing project, Hurry Up Tomorrow delves into existential themes and self-reflection, raising expectations for what is sure to be a powerful conclusion to this trilogy. While a release date is yet to be announced, fans are eagerly awaiting further details.
This marks The Weeknd's first album since Dawn FM, which NME praised as a pivotal moment in his journey toward self-acceptance. As for Playboi Carti, he has been busy himself, recently collaborating with Camila Cabello on the track “I Luv It” and dropping his solo single “All Red.”
