About Heartless

Heartless is a classic Abel, as it leans more into the R&B landscape with a healthy dose of hedonistic lyrics about drugs, sex, and partying. But, it's not exactly braggadocios cut, as The Weeknd suggests he's not proud of this kind of lifestyle.

Heartless is expected to appear on the long-awaited follow-up to 2016's Starboy. The Weeknd has remained relatively tight-lipped about his fourth studio album but suggested his next chapter was going to be his biggest one yet. The Weeknd has yet to announce the project's official drop date, but his new single suggests it's right around the corner.
