Theme song to the upcoming Fifth Shades of Grey film. Really different sounding for The Weeknd. It's alright.

I like how cinematic the production is. I've always felt like all of his songs sounded the same, so this is a welcomed change. It's easily my favorite song by him.

This release just made my entire week honestly. Easily one of the best things he's ever put out.

Unexpected! Bringing back the Mint Condition sound yet sounding so fresh.
His best? No; that's reserved for songs like "Come Down" and "High For This" from his first mixtape. But it's definitely got the markings of a high quality, mass appeal hit.

Unexpected! Bringing back the Mint Condition sound yet sounding so fresh. This does sound like Mint Condition. This is a lot more "traditional" sounding than his other material but it's really good and it's honestly one of the best songs I've heard from him.

I just heard this and blown away. Really love it. Love the production, the vocals and the overall vibe of it. Even while sounding fresh, I'm getting a 90's vibe maybe that is why i love it. Usually his songs grow on me, this was instant.

Reminds me of a Bond theme (like a modern sounding take on "License to Kill" and "Goldeneye").

This is his best song since "Wicked Games." I don't even mind his whiny vocals.

It's hot, and I don't even listen to him that much.

This has the melody, the lyrics that a great song should have...vocals are good too.
But, IDK...this just doesn't quite measure up to a knockout on first listen.

Good song but couldn't they have waited a bit longer before sending this to rhythmic? "Often" isn't even dead at the format yet.

I'm not even sure how to explain the feeling I get when I listen to this, but I hope this blows up. When he sings "so I love when you call unexpected cause I hate when the moment's expected" I get chills. Every time.
