This song is absolutely fantastic and one of the best pop songs that he has ever made. The instrumental is so fucking groovy and the song is just so catchy. I hope this becomes a huge hit and one of his biggest songs ever, because it definitely deserves it. Max Martin and Swedish House Mafia bodied this.
Also, I finally finished my full Dawn FM review if anyone is interested in reading it.

In my opinion, this is one of the best tracks The Weeknd has made from the Dawn FM era. The beat, while being energetic, is super smooth somehow, with incredible synthesizers and a full groove, with a disco aesthetic that brings everything back together. Perfect speed, perfect energy, and that's not even mentioning how amazing Abel's singing is on here. Amazing, catchy chorus, and I love how he always keeps up with the energy of the instrumental, even when it pulls back.
I can't believe "Blinding Lights" blew up the way it did but this DIDN'T (no shade against the former, I just think this could [and should] have been a massive hit). It's my favorite Weeknd song of all time with very little competition, I wish there'd been more like it on both Dawn FM and his latest album.
