The Weeknd has decided to stop the suspense and drop the release date of his latest single “Take My Breath,†along with a new teaser for the track. The visual features track-and-field stars Sydney McLaughlin, Dalilah Muhammad, Athing Mu, and Gabby Thomas at the Tokyo Olympics (apparently music promos featuring track stars are on trend now). The Weeknd originally posted a different teaser for the song on Sunday night, titled “The Dawn Is Coming,†and has cleared his Instagram. “It’s the album I’ve always wanted to make,â€Â the musician said of his new music in an interview in GQ. “f*ck it … IT STARTS TONIGHT,†he then tweeted on Sunday. The man is nothing if not dramatic. “Take My Breath†drops this Friday, August 6. Watch the two teasers below.
