Music video
The music video was shot entirely with a 180-degree media format, and is directed by Anton Tammi, who previously directed the music video for its then-lead single "Dancing in the Flames".[4][5][6] It is the first ever exclusive music video released for the Apple Vision Pro and was released on November 14, 2024.[7] The music video features the Weeknd confronting his inner demons in a visually dark and sinister setting, starting with a scene where he's strapped to a gurney in an ambulance. The narrative intensifies as the ambulance crew, depicted with glowing orange eyes, hint at an eerie, otherworldly presence, accompanying a journey that shifts from a desert highway to the streets of Los Angeles. The video culminates with Tesfaye facing a cult-like leader in a room of creatures with glowing eyes, revealing the leader to be a darker version of himself, enhancing the song's themes of struggle and self-confrontation.[8]
The video was then released on YouTube on February 2, 2025.
