The Weeknd’s ‘Call Out My Name’ Video Reaches 1 Billion YouTube Views

The song was released back in 2018.

The Weeknd added yet another music video to YouTube’s Billion Views Club, as the “Call Out My Name” visual surpassed the milestone. The achievement marks the star’s sixth music video to surpass one billion views.

In the 2018 clip, The Weeknd (real name Abel Tesfaye) wanders an empty road at dusk, before bats explode from his head at the chorus. “So call out my name/ Call out my name when I kiss you so gently/ I want you to stay,” he sings in the hook.
