"Blinding Lights" is a song by Canadian singer The Weeknd that serves as the second single of his fourth studio album After Hours (2020).[4] It was released on November 29, 2019, two days after the release of "Heartless".[5] The Weeknd wrote and produced the song with its producers Max Martin and Oscar Holter, with Belly and Jason Quenneville receiving additional writing credits.[6][7] A Chromatics remix of the song, featuring Chromatics, was released alongside the deluxe edition of its parent album on March 23, 2020.[8]

"Blinding Lights" peaked at number one in twenty-nine countries, including the United States, where it became The Weeknd's fifth number one single on the Billboard Hot 100. It also became his first number one single in the United Kingdom and Australia.

Background and promotion

After having been absent from social media for five months, the singer returned to Instagram on November 20, 2019 and posted six days later on November 26, 2019.[9][10] He previously announced a project titled Chapter VI in June 2019.[11] On November 24, 2019, a Mercedes Benz commercial first aired on German TV featuring a clip of "Blinding Lights".[12] It shows The Weeknd driving a Mercedes-Benz AMG GTC and asking the system to play his new song.[5] The full-length version of the commercial premiered on November 29, alongside the single.[13] In the days after, he took to social media to announce his return to music with the captions "the fall starts tomorrow night" and "Tonight we start a new brain melting psychotic chapter! Let's go!".[14]

Lyrics

The lyrics of the song reference the on-and-off relationship that Tesfaye has with model Bella Hadid.[15] The Weeknd, throughout the song, sings about the rekindling of a relationship and the importance of his partner. The singer also mentions the city of Las Vegas, Nevada, where he refers to it by its nickname "Sin City" in the pre-chorus.[16]

Critical reception

"Blinding Lights" received widespread critical acclaim and was ranked as the 32nd best song of 2019 by Stereogum. On a statement discussing the single's position on the list, Chris DeVille complimented the song's '80s aesthetic and vibe, saying that "The '80s will never die ― or, at least, the glamorous neon '80s of our collective imagination."[17] In a positive review, Jon Dolan from Rolling Stone complimented Max Martin's synth-pop production, describing it as "evoking Depeche Mode and the Human League in its lonely-planet luster."[18] David Smyth of Evening Standard also gave much praise for the single, calling it a "glorious blast of air punching Eighties synth-pop".[19] The song was called one of the best from the album by Micah Peters from The Ringer.[20]

Commercial performance

"Blinding Lights" debuted at number 11 on the Billboard Hot 100 on the issue dated December 14, 2019, but fell 41 places to number 52 in its second week.[21] In its 12th week on the chart, the song became the Weeknd's tenth top ten hit by rising to a new peak at number ten.[22] On the issue dated March 28, 2020, the song rose two places to reach number two.[23] The song also reached number one on Hot R&B Songs Chart on March 7, 2020, where it became his seventh number one on the chart, making him the artist with the most number ones on the chart's history.[24] On the Digital Song Sales chart, the song peaked at number one for the week of March 23, 2020, and became The Weeknd's fifth Digital Songs number one. On March 30, 2020, the song rose to number one on the Billboard Hot 100, dethroning Roddy Ricch's "The Box" on the issue dated April 4, 2020.[25]

"Blinding Lights" also became Max Martin's 23rd Hot 100 number one single as a writer, 21st as producer, and his first in both credits since Justin Timberlake's "Can't Stop the Feeling!" (2016). Martin has the third-most as writer, behind Paul McCartney (32) and John Lennon (26), and the second-most as producer, behind George Martin (23).[25]

On the Rolling Stone Top 100 Songs chart, the song debuted at number two, where it was blocked from the top spot by The Weeknd's own "Heartless". The song also became Tesfaye's second entry on the chart.[26]

In the singer's native Canada, "Blinding Lights" debuted at number two on the Canadian Hot 100, one place higher than "Heartless". It later managed to reach number one after the release of its parent album on the issue dated April 4, 2020.

In the United Kingdom, "Blinding Lights" entered the charts at number 12 in the issue dated December 12, 2019. It eventually reached number one in February 2020, becoming The Weeknd's first number-one single in the UK.[27]

Music videos

On December 2, 2019, a commercial video containing footage from a Tesfaye and Mercedes-Benz commercial and the song's audio video was released.[28] The lyric video for "Blinding Lights" was released on December 6, 2019.[29] Its official music video was shot in Fremont Street, Las Vegas and Downtown Los Angeles and was released on January 21, 2020.[30][31] The visual follows the events of the music video for "Heartless" and sees The Weeknd go on a hallucinated joyride through Las Vegas after waking from a trance. It concludes with Tesfaye having flashbacks to a club he attended earlier in the night, where he was serenaded by a mysterious woman, played by Japanese actress Miki Hamano and beat up by a duo of men that forced him to be on the run throughout the video.[32] The video was directed by Anton Tammi, with various actions performed by the singer in the visual being inspired by the films Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas, Joker, and Casino.[33] A behind the scenes music video for the song was released on February 28, 2020.[34]

The Weeknd performed "Blinding Lights" for the first time on December 6, 2019 during The Late Show with Stephen Colbert, a day after he performed "Heartless" on the same show.[35] The song was performed on January 22, 2020 at Jimmy Kimmel Live!.[36] On March 7, 2020, he performed the single alongside "Scared to Live" on Saturday Night Live.[37]
