Great reaction. This song was a massive success and dominated the charts in 2020. It broke the all time record for the longest charting single on the Billboard Hot 100 with 90 weeks. You should definitely react to more Weeknd. He’s super talented.

Fun fact. He spent 18 hours in the Mercedes sports coup filming this music video and he fell i n love with the car and ended up purchasing it at the end of the MV shoot. So he actually ownes this car now

Nice reaction. The album that this video comes from tells a story of self-destructive behavior that is very personal to The Weeknd. The COVID pandemic is a total coincidence as far as I know. The lyrics can be about a woman that he's longing for, but they can also be about drugs. He's trying to quit but feels cold and empty without them. When he's high, it feels like he's the only person in the world, and the crazy driving is a metaphor for his emotional state until he makes enough trouble that the bouncers kick him out, a metaphor for the crash that comes after the high. At least that's the interpretation that I heard.

“This is coming off as a villain” you hit it right on the head bro. Legit right on the head. He’s fighting between trying to be the good guy like he has been, or become the villain The Weeknd all over again and let his fantasies consume him. To himself. He is the villain

His music makes me think of the 80’s his voice just reminds me of Michael Jackson. Michael would totally do a song with the weekend if he was still here. King of Pop RIP.

I think you guys would love his other hits too! This is from his album “After Hours”. He released a few music videos for this album and they are all connected to each other. You should listen to “Heartless” by The Weeknd next because that music video is supposed to precede “Blinding Lights” as far as the story line

About the thing "everything is empty", it was actually cleared out for the music video. They began producing this music video in late 2019 or at the start of 2020 just sometime before the virus spread towards the United States And about the lyric line "Sin city's cold and empty" I think it would mean he predicted that the Covid-19 would cause lockdowns and make most cities and towns cold and empty, looks like it.

I just learned about this guy at universal for Halloween horror nights this year never heard of him but heard bits and pieces of this song, I at first thought it was an 89e but was surprised to learn it wasn’t, it was my first scary haunted house in my life and my first Halloween horror nights house it was such an honor to go into this one first and now this is one of my most fav songs of all time.

would love if you react to more of the weeknd. as some other comments mention, his song 'heartless', 'after hours' and 'in your eyes' are very fascinating to listen to and interpret, and the music videos are overall linked- making it fun to try to understand the sequence of events. 'in your eyes' definitely has an 80s vibe, similar to blinding lights, and there's also a remixed version featuring doja cat
