The ‘Blinding Light’ singer, The Weeknd has announced his new upcoming single titled ‘Dancing in the Flames,’ shot by iPhone 16. Check out the artwork below.
The new single, “DANCING IN THE FLAMES” will arrive on this FRIDAY(13th Sep). He performed “Dancing in the Flames” and more new Hurry Up Tomorrow tracks for the first time at his special one-night-only São Paulo, Brazil show last over weekend.
The Weeknd (real name Abel Tesfaye) also previewed the music video, which will also drop this Friday, in an Apple spot for the iPhone 16 Pro. “I can’t wait to see your face/ Crash when we’re switching lanes,” he sings while blissfully driving a red convertible. Director of photography Erik Henrikkson explains how shooting in 4K 120 fps (frames per second) “was really a game changer” for “ceating epic shots in slow motion,” as demonstrated by the superstar running through the rain in slow motion with his feet gradually stepping into puddles.
“We felt we didn’t have to play it safe. We just pushed it as far as we normally do,” Henrikkson continues. And they certainly didn’t play it safe, as The Weeknd appears to be flung out of the car, with glass shattering everywhere, in one of the shots.
Earlier this month, The Weeknd revealed the new album titled “Hurry Up Tomorrow.” Watch the full teaser now.
