The Weeknd's latest single, "Dancing in the Flames", was officially released on September 13, 2024, as part of his upcoming album Hurry Up Tomorrow. The track continues his signature blend of dark, cinematic themes and synth-driven melodies, much like his previous work in Dawn FM. The song explores themes of transformation and rebirth, and the visuals that accompany it are just as striking. The music video, shot entirely on the new iPhone 16 Pro, features stunning visuals with smooth slow-motion footage and innovative audio techniques. This video, directed by Anton Tammi, offers a glimpse into the surreal, moody atmosphere that The Weeknd has become known for.
The track was also teased during a recent Apple event, where behind-the-scenes footage was shown, highlighting the capabilities of the new iPhone. Additionally, The Weeknd performed the song live for the first time during a sold-out show in São Paulo, which was streamed worldwide on YouTube, garnering significant attention.
