Remix is nothing particularly special. It sounds very copy and paste, and although Doja's verse is pleasant enough overall, I hate the high pitched opening lines.
It achieves freshening up an "old"* song for radio (*2 months is ancient these days, damn I hate some aspects of the streaming era), but the original is much better.

Remix doesn’t do much for me. The song was fine on its own. I miss the days when songs were actually remixed and didn’t have a feature thrown on to it and call it a remix. I miss the days of the bay boy remixes.

Did they send the remix to radio? Are we changing the thread to say “In Your Eyes” feat. Doja Cat?

Agree, just sounds like a copy and paste. Ruins the flow of the song for me. I really dislike 'remixes' like this, if they're not going to try and merge the performances in any way, why bother?

In my opinion I think the remix is pretty well produced, especially when you consider the fact that it a remix and not an original duet. My only complaint is Doja seems to disappear after her verse. She should’ve sang the final chorus with him or at least did more ad libs.

The remix isn't anything special and doesn't make me want to listen to it over the original.

Love the original and LOVE the remix too! Just perfection. I smell another #1 for both of them, Weeknd and Doja.

Doja's 'rap' verse is pure perfection. Kind of has a touch of 90s without being too obvious. It's a keeper!

This had a very high burn rate for me, and the remix adds nothing.

i always thought the chorus was very underwhelming on this, but i’m surprised to see it struggling this low.

I’m completely confused. New callouts are in and this continued improving , it’s now above Dua’s “Break My Heart”, but radio seems to be dropping it. I will never understand Top40 radio.

How is this doing in callouts? I feel Blinding Lights will make In Your Eyes underperform.

Wow. Surprised. I never thought I’d see this struggle, especially after the success of BL and Heartless.

I actually like In Your Eyes even better than Blinding Lights. And the video is iconic! How is this happening??

I hope it’s not the end for this awesome era. If this does end up completely collapsing, I can see them try to get another hit with "Save Your Tears", which is a favorite among many and has the potential to become an organic hit due to its Circles-like vibe.

Can't be believe this is underperforming, Heartless was top 5 when Blinding lights was charging up the charts. This isn't performing as well on streaming and sales though to be fair.

This is so sad.... They better go the bop route and promote “Save your tears” or the big ballad route and promote “Scared to live”. “Hardest to love” is another option but it’s more risky.... Idk... Maybe a Platinum edition with a brand new single?

This is sad and definitely not what I expected. Is it streaming better than "Heartless?" Weird to me that it went Top 5 and this one is struggling with Top 20.
