The Weeknd’s recent performance in São Paulo left fans buzzing, especially with the unexpected reveal of a new track titled “Timeless.” This song, which was leaked alongside the forthcoming album “Hurry Up Tomorrow,” offers a glimpse into the artist’s evolving sound and lyrical direction.
In “Timeless,” The Weeknd collaborates with Playboi Carti, blending their distinctive styles into a track that combines introspective lyricism with catchy hooks. The song opens with Carti reflecting on his rise to prominence, reminiscing about his early days and asserting his success. Lines like “Ever since I was a jit, knew I was the shit” set a tone of self-assuredness, while references to luxury and high status, such as “00, bust down the watch, you know that I’m timeless,” underscore the theme of opulence and enduring influence.
Carti’s verse also touches on themes of heartbreak and material wealth. The mention of “Comme des Garçons” and “pockets on 22K” juxtaposes emotional depth with a display of extravagant lifestyle. The imagery of “Ice on my neck” and “fresh out the trench” further highlights the contrast between past struggles and present success.
The Weeknd’s chorus reinforces the track’s central theme of timelessness. The repeated emphasis on “timeless” and “diamonds” suggests a focus on enduring value and unchanging significance, both personally and professionally. The use of “XO tatted, all over her body” also ties into his brand’s signature style and the personal symbolism he often incorporates into his music.
This performance in São Paulo not only showcased The Weeknd’s evolving musical direction but also heightened anticipation for his upcoming album. “Timeless” indicates a promising blend of introspection and high-energy beats, aligning with The Weeknd’s reputation for crafting both deeply personal and commercially successful music. If this track is any indication, “Hurry Up Tomorrow” is set to be a highly favored release, poised to captivate fans and critics alike with its innovative sound and compelling lyrics.
