Speaking with Variety, the Grammy winner shared the album is closing a chapter, noting it is likely the end of “I would say my existence as the Weeknd.”
“It’s a headspace I’ve gotta get into that I just don’t have any more desire for. I feel like it comes with so much …” He trails off before continuing, “You have a persona, but then you have the competition of it all. It becomes this rat race: more accolades, more success, more shows, more albums, more awards, and more No. 1s. It never ends until you end it,” elaborated the global pop star.
The end of the era will be marked by the After Hours Til Dawn 2025 stadium tour and the Hurry Up Tomorrow film. Set for release in May 2025, the work stars Jenna Ortega, Barry Keoghan, and The Weeknd himself, and is directed by Trey Edward Shults.
“From our first meeting, that’s what emboldened me: He really wanted me to make this my film and bring myself to it. And I was blown away by how well he responds to direction as an actor: There would be days where I was ready to walk away from a scene, thinking we got it, and he would ask for another take and push the scene to a new level. I don’t think people realize yet what a good actor he is,” detailed Shults to Variety.
