The Weeknd and Playboi Carti release “Timeless” music video

The Weeknd and Playboi Carti reunited and released the music video for their latest collaboration, “Timeless,” which features the two singing the lyrics from a dark warehouse surrounded by half-naked women.

“City on fire when I'm comin' home/Fill up the sky, I fill up the Dome/They'll play it one day, it's a hell of a show,” the Weeknd sings on the track. “But it will hurt because we did it first”

In the Gunner Stahl and LouieKnows-directed video, Weeknd and Playboi Carti rock out in all black and, in Carti's case, an Allen Iverson leotard, as they sing the track in front of a group of dancers.

In the self-referential lyrics, the two also praise Pharrell Williams, who produced the song, with the line: “Feel like Skateboard P, BBC Boys on the Creep/Feel like it's '03, Neptune Drum with a Beam.”

The single marks The Weeknd's second track Hurry up tomorrow Album that follows “Dancing in the Flames,” which was released earlier this month. The new record will follow in 2020 After hours and 2022 Dawn FM for the conclusion of the album trio.

“Yesterday was fourteen years ago… We held our breath and fell into a shimmering sea in the late hours of the night… We tried to cleanse the wounds with tunes and lights, a bulletproof bandage to protect what lies beneath,” says a trailer announcement for the album. “In a place where the seasons never changed and where time ceased to exist. But therein lies the problem.”

On trend

“Today has felt like an endless twist, twisting the truth over and over again, immune to the vertigo, numb to the nausea. What lies beneath – screams silently,” the trailer continued.

“Timeless” also reunites Carti and The Weeknd after she joined Madonna for “Popular.” The idol in 2023. The couple debuted “Timeless” during the Weeknd’s One Night Only show in São Paulo earlier this month.
