The Weeknd’s “Cry for Me” Kicks Off Hurry Up Tomorrow With Raw Emotion

The Weeknd has always been a master of heartbreak anthems, and Cry for Me is no exception. As the opening track on Hurry Up Tomorrow, the song immediately sets the stage for a deeply introspective and emotionally charged album. “Cry for Me” blends Abel’s signature storytelling with atmospheric production, wrapping his pain in haunting melodies and ghostly echoes. The song’s somber tone is classic Weeknd—full of longing, regret, and an almost cinematic level of sadness. His voice drips with emotion as he sings about love, loss, and the kind of heartbreak that lingers long after the relationship ends. From the first note, it’s clear that Hurry Up Tomorrow is shaping up to be one of his most vulnerable projects yet. If “Cry for Me” is just the beginning, fans better brace themselves for an emotional ride.
