This reveal of an upcoming video comes after news of a new track by the artist dropping Friday.
On Sunday, a Merecedes-Benz commercial aired in Germany that featured a sneak peak of The Weeknd’s latest track, “Blinding Lights,” which will be dropping this Friday. In the commercial, the singer can be seen driving and telling the vehicle, the latest model of the automotive brand, to play his new 80s-esque tune. This declaration of a new song confirms fans’s recent suspicions of an upcoming drop, when The Weeknd reactivated his Instagram account and changed his bio to just the mysterious phrase “loading…” last week. It’s quite likely that the future music video shown in this TMZ clip will serve as the visuals for “Blinding Lights,” which would mark The Weeknd’s first release in over a year since his 2018 EP, My Dear Melancholy.
