    The Weeknd’s in auto pilot right now. These artists are going have to up their creativity if they don’t want AI to overshadow them lol

    The song hasn't clicked with me honestly, at least not yet. Low Life is way better.

    It’s gotten better with more listens. That synth line is addicting. I think it’s a great song, and I don’t see the problem with it.

    Will keep listening. I also feel like the rap verse wasn't needed tbh- Sometimes they add rappers to pop songs for no reason and it doesn't do the song a favour.

    I see your point. I personally feel like Future added a lot to the song. He’s one of my favorite rappers and The Weeknd is one of my favorite singers so there’s that bias there I guess

    I liked Future, like until FUTURE was released. I haven't liked a Future project since then. Low Life is also way better than this.

    Dawn FM was great but you gotta admit he’s been making extremely similar songs since Starboy & it’s getting gradually more & more stale.

    I don't think Starboy, After Hours and Dawn FM sound alike. But I do think this soundtrack kinda sounds like "More music from Dawn FM", but i's just a soundtrack anyway, so my hype isn't all that. I'm also not that excited for the show. It will probably be like Euphoria, which is pretty weak but features some hot girls.

    I see where you’re coming from for sure. I like what he’s doing but if he doesn’t change the sound up after his next album even I’m gonna get bored

    I just get bored listening to a full project by him these days. Back in the days they were better.
