The XO legend just pulled off one of the most mind-blowing album finales we’ve seen in years. With Hurry Up Tomorrow, The Weeknd isn’t just dropping music—he’s closing a chapter.
Released January 31 after a delay from the L.A. wildfires, the 22-track album is said to be his final project as The Weeknd, wrapping up the trilogy that started with After Hours and Dawn FM. But it’s the album’s ending that really has fans losing their minds.
A Farewell 14 Years in the Making?
Here’s where things get crazy—Hurry Up Tomorrow closes with a seamless transition into “High For This”, the first track on his 2011 debut House of Balloons. Play them back-to-back, and it’s like The Weeknd just traveled back in time to where it all began.
For fans who’ve been riding with Abel since day one, this hit DEEP.
The Internet Goes Wild
Longtime listeners instantly caught on to the full-circle moment:
- “This is genius. The way ‘Hurry Up Tomorrow’ transitions into ‘High For This’… chills.”
- “I can’t believe he just connected 2011 to 2025 like that. Nobody does it like The Weeknd.”
- “If this really is his last album under The Weeknd, what a way to close out an era.”
