2nd single from Dawn FM. The track features production from Swedish House Mafia, Max Martin, and OPN. It was first teased back in August at the end of the "Take My Breath" music video.

Bebe Rexha cover? That song deserved better.

Bebe Rexha cover? That song deserved better. Hopefully not an Elton John cover, and not just because we already have a song that samples it on the charts right now.

The track will supposedly feature production from Swedish House Mafia, Calvin Harris, Max Martin and Metro Boomin. Just to clarify, the source said that "Sacrifice" is produced by Swedish House Mafia and the album contains production from all the aforementioned.

I was feeling like there was way too many people involved with producing the track.

New Snippet of the track, sounds a lot like "Thriller".

It's good and it might grow on me a lot but for now it didn't feel as instant as most of his previous singles.

Max Martin is involved as well. This is too 80ies even for me. Does not sound fresh, rather total copy of some tracks from the 80ies. Moth To a Flame is a much better song for sure.

I like this a lot! But, I don’t think it’s a single material? We’ll see😎 Also, that production is 🔥

I agree it’s very “Thriller”. I like it.

Honestly this album has so many tracks worthy of being released as singles that I'm not sure if this was the best choice to promote to radio but that guitar rift is so thriller-esc that I understand why they went with it.

This obviously borrows from "Thriller" but I hear a hint of "I Want To Thank You" by Alicia Meyers in this as well.

Already burned out for me, there is nothing new here, nothing to get excited about... Now I understand why Take My Breath was the lead as the second single is even more boring and too safe.

This sounds like Michael Jackson singing for Depeche Mode. I dig this, a lot.

Bebe Rexha cover? That song deserved better. that song is now stuck in my head every time I see the title, I'm like sacrifice, when it comes to you, don't want no compromise

At first and second listen I was a little underwhelmed by this being the next big single... BUT I 'm on third listen and it feels like it's clicking. I will also say I would have pushed "Less than zero" instead, that song feels very anthemic.

I didn’t fully hear Thriller until after the first chorus with all of the spooky sound effects, and the outro. Before then it sounded like an 80s remix of Take My Breath’s instrumental. The chorus vocal flow is annoying, it reminds me of Moth To A Flame. The synth that kicks in at 0:24 (which feels like a pointless section) reminds me of another Michael song, but I can’t place it yet. Possibly Don’t Stop Till You Get Enough. Anyway, this song is meh and I don’t see it doing any better than Take My Breath. I am not a fan of The Weeknd but I loved Save Your Years, I Feel It Coming, In Your Eyes and Blinding Lights. While I didn’t enjoy them, I could see the appeal of songs like I Can’t Feel My Face, The Hills and Starboy. His output since the Save Your Tears remix has been very meh though

Not a fan.
If Take My Breath stalled I don't see this doing any better.
