The Weeknd and Playboi Carti dropped their new single, “Timeless,” on Friday, Sept. 27.
They performed the track for the first time at The Weeknd’s one-night-only concert in São Paulo, Brazil, earlier in September, where the Canadian-Ethiopian superstar performed his latest single “Dancing in the Flames,” his “São Paulo” collaboration with Anitta and more new songs from his upcoming album, Hurry Up Tomorrow.
The two last collaborated together on “Popular” alongside the Queen of Pop Madonna in June 2023 from The Weeknd’s HBO drama series The Idol, which reached No. 43 on the Billboard Hot 100 and No. 14 on Hot R&B/Hip-Hop Songs. It was certified platinum by the Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA) in June 2024.
“Timeless” is the second official release ahead of The Weeknd’s Hurry Up Tomorrow album, which is the third and final installment of his After Hours/Dawn FM trilogy. The LP’s first single, “Dancing in the Flames” debuted at No. 14 on the Hot 100 this week on the chart dated Sept. 28. Carti’s latest single, “All Red” from his forthcoming third studio album I Am Music, debuted at No. 15 on the all-genre songs tally and earned his first top 10 hit as a solo lead artist on Hot R&B/Hip-Hop Songs, reaching No. 3. Billboard‘s recent cover star also earned his first Hot 100 No. 1 earlier this year from his feature on Ye and Ty Dolla $ign‘s “Carnival,” also featuring Rich The Kid.
