Released on January 31, 2025, through XO and Republic Records, the album was initially planned for an earlier release but postponed due to the LA wildfires, with The Weeknd contributing $1 million to aid relief efforts.

'Hurry Up Tomorrow' features collaborations with artists like Justice, Anitta, Florence + The Machine, Travis Scott, Future, Playboi Carti, Lana Del Rey, and Giorgio Moroder on tracks that explore new musical territories.

Alongside the album, a psychological thriller film of the same name, starring The Weeknd, Jenna Ortega, and Barry Keoghan, is set for release on May 16. The segment also covers promotional events including a NYC Pop-Up Experience with Spotify and a Hot Topic Takeover in Las Vegas with exclusive merch. Additionally, proceeds from the track "Take Me Back to LA" are being donated to the LA Regional Food Bank.

Getting into track seven of the weekend's album, Hurry Up Tomorrow, that's titled, as far as track seven, it's titled Open Hearts. Now, we've already talked about baptized and fear, because of course we're going over the top 10 tracks off of the weekends, hurry up tomorrow. That is the general consensus as far as the masses currently. So obviously this could change, but as far as baptized and fear and then a transition into open hearts, I do believe that having Mike Dean on your album is a fantastic way to showcase how serious you are in music. Because when I tell you that Mike Dean is throwing all type of different variations of beats at the weekend's way, it's very interesting because not only is the transition top tier from a producer standpoint, but then you come to really. that this song was originally as far as open hearts it was originally performed live during the weekends after hours till dawn tour in sydney australia now of course i don't know

what the intrigue is about australia for musicians i'm not really talking bad about australia i'm talking bad about y'all's bug situation let me tell you something i did not think it was humanly possible to see a spider the size of a basketball. I kid you not. I kid you not. I saw a spider the size of a basketball and it was moving like it was literally the flash. Now I know this is a side tangent. I don't care. He debuted this track, Open Hearts in Sydney, Australia. You know what? I want to debut some type of bug extinction level type of solution as far as these basketball sized, spider. in Australia. Australia has the bug version of Jurassic Park. I don't know what it is about the land or whatever, but the bugs get the ultimate amount of protein, whatever they need to grow.

That's what they use because they are on some type of PEDs in Australia. These bugs are out of control. If I ever travel, I kid you all not, the death of me. I kid you not, will be seeing a basketball side spider because i'm just going to be like god take the wheel whatever happens happens i ain't i ain't fighting it because if i see something that big crawling towards me with eight legs i'm not going to lie to you it's over so anyways my australia signed tangent to the side the weekend debuted this track open hearts in his uh show at sydney australia late 2024 but of course now is officially released on his album hurry up tomorrow and a lot of people like the danceable and things of that nature.

But the main thing is the weekend's vocal performance. I mean, it's all throughout this track. He's just showcasing how he's one of the greatest vocalists of all time and it's not even close. So with that being said, I do believe when it comes to this specific track, this may be a standout because of the replayable nature of this. And, of course, you know, overall, as far as the hurry up tomorrow album, being more of a closure of the trilogy.

with um after hours following no it was uh yeah after hours following that at with donne film and then now we have hurry up tomorrow so it's a very interesting trilogy and i do believe hurry up tomorrow was a great end a send off as far as him wanting to end the name that he goes by when we're talking about the weekend but with that being said click my link to my bio let me know one of my social media's what do you think about the track open hearts in the weekends uh vocal performance and also let me know what country do y'all think has the worst bugs as far as the size to speed perspective
