I'd prefer Less Than Zero, but this is a good choice too. One of my brothers loves The Weeknd and this is the main song that he listens to (from what I can hear)

Yeah, I’d prefer Less Than Zero, but this is fine too.

Less Than Zero sounds like he wanted to have another Save Your Tears, Out Of Time was easily the standout track from this album for me.

Yeah this was definitely the right choice. I hope this performs well, but not sure it will after the underperformance of Sacrifice.

Yessssss let's goooooo, "Out of Time" is my favorite song from Dawn FM and I hope the city pop sample and vibes might set it slightly apart from his singles from After Hours/Dawn FM of the last two years. "Less Than Zero" could work but it also kind of sounds like "Save Your Tears" so... But at this point I'm not really sure if anything could really work.

I don’t see the comparison between LTZ and SYT, but ok. While I enjoyed SYT, I like the vibe of LTZ a lot more. It’s got a happier vibe and you can have a fun little dance to it.

It’s probably the combination of the drums and the acoustic guitar, as well as the synth piano and the chanting vocals in the chorus. This reminds me of a faster of All That by Carly Rae Jepsen

This should have been the first single, easily the biggest hit on the album. I don't have any hopes now that "Sacrifice" has killed all momentum though.

Weeknd messed up. Should have been Less Than Zero. Less Than Zero would have smashed.

Great move. Then push Best Friends after One Right Now finishes its run since those songs sound identical as well 😜

This should have been promoted when the album dropped.
I don't think LTZ is a big hit, and honestly it sounds kinda corny for him.

This will be the Spring smash from the album I'm telling you. It's been too long since they've promoted a slower song of his on radio. Although I know I'm optimistic, I'm confident this will be top five.

In a perfect world this would smash... but we aren't in a perfect world and I'm not sure anything will stick after the last two singles underperformed on radio.
Who knows, though. Maybe this will be his "Not a Bad Thing."

It defintely will bring some spring freshness to chart, but as the sound of the song is not out of time but rather from the very limited time period, this will have hard times to go all the way. It is a good song, but I predict it will perform similar to Over Now, which was more contemporary and interesting song.

Not everyone saying “Spring smash” when we know Radio will probably play it though the Fall of 2023.

This for Pop radio? They are going to waste it. Care to elaborate? How is it going to waste? As for how to actually make this a hit with longevity, they’ll need to do exactly how they did SYT. Start off with radio play, then drop a video later on, then a live TV performance, and then once it reaches a peak do a remix. This can very well be just as big as BL and SYT but they’ll need to do the rollout correctly.

This for Pop radio? They are going to waste it. Either this or there will be another collaboration single to take its place in May at the latest and Save Your Tears will keep us all pressed in top 25 on Hot 100.

They need a viral video like SYT. The video ignited the interest for the song for many people, and it's Spotify surge happened after. That said, I'd prefer LTZ but I think he needs a downtempo single with a killer hook and OTT is the one. GO!!!!

Correct single choice but I still think top 20 at best on CHR.

This is his most streamed Dawn FM non-single, so yeah, no surprise here.

As much as I love Less Than Zero, this was undoubtedly the best choice for the next single, it has more buzz than pretty much every other song on Dawn FM

Less Than Zero sounds a bit too similar to Save Your Tears and its better suited for Fall, while this is a better Spring/Summer single and it sounds different from his 5 other hits currently in rotation.

Unfortunately, I’ve overplayed this but hopefully he releases an extended version.
