The Weeknd Drops Haunting Unplugged Version of ‘Dancing in the Flames’


The Weeknd dropped a stripped-down acoustic version of new single 'Dancing in the Flames,' the first single from his upcoming 'Hurry Up Tomorrow' LP.

“I can’t wait to see your face/ Crash when we’re switchin’ lanes/ My love’s beyond the pain/ But if I miss the brake/ We’re dancin’ in the flames,” Tesfaye croons over strummed guitars on the alt version of the song that strips away the insistent beat and bubbling new wave keyboards of the original. The track got a premiere during the singer’s recent one-night-only show at Estádio MorumBIS in São Paulo, Brazil on Sept. 7, where he wore the same gold-flecked robe as he does in the unplugged “Flames” video. Though the Hurry Up Tomorrow track list has not yet been revealed, based on what was teased at the show in Brazil, a few of the presumed titles of other new songs he debuted at the gig were “Run Away” and “In Heaven.”
