Some artists rely on radio still for success and to help get/keep their name out there. The Weeknd is definitely beyond that at this point. He doesn’t need radio or specific radio formats to succeed. Maybe after he comes down from his current peak in another album or two, he might revert back to including radio formats as part of necessary audiences for his music but for now, he has that level of freedom that comes with a certain level of popularity.

King doesn't even want any Grammy attention ever again. BALLER STATUS.

With the numbers BL and SYT pulled on Pop he doesn't need Urban.
And I'm sure there will be some URB leaning singles anyways.

Are you people sure there is an album coming, because this track seems to be celebrating The Olympics.

This seems like it’s just a Team USA pep rally song? Except coming from a Canadian and after the Games have ended.
With that said, it sounds HOT! Please keep on exploring all sorts of 80’s synth influences, Abel!

It's the actual lead for The Dawn, but it has additional promo for the Olympics, like Blinding Lights with that Mercedes Benz commercial.

Please keep on exploring all sorts of 80’s synth influences, Abel! I am guessing he has a deal like what Katy had with Rise (or was supposed to have until she allegedly pissed off people bts by performing it at the DNC first) where the premiere of it has to be directly tied to the Olympics in some way. After the Olympics is over he can run with it as his own single.

I'm so ready for this. Maybe it's just the Olympics promo but this seems like it'll be a great running/exercise song. I'm always looking for more of those.

Can't really explain how fucking ready I am for this song, I got into synthwave earlier this past year and it's been dominating my listening habits since then. Artists like Timecop1983 and Essenger are some of my most listened to of 2021 thanks to Blinding Lights giving me a decent entrance to the genre, so I'm pretty excited about reentering with Abel.

God this is my most anticipated song of the year. Those synths sent me to heaven. I’m praying it’s not a 2 minute song.

I can hear a mash-up of a "synthy" version of "In Your Eyes" and MONSTA X's "WHO DO U LOVE?".

This is really good, it sounds like a natural progression from the synthpop on After Hours. The chorus is an earworm and I love the synths in this.
