While The Weeknd – real name Abel Tesfaye – did not sing along to the song, he remained onstage, mouthing the lyrics to the unreleased track.He sings over the chorus: “Fallen angels call my name / But the things you say / Keeps me alive for another day/ Where do I start / When I open my heart? / It’s never easy falling in love again“.The track’s chorus also includes a dancey, electronic beat, and was accompanied by flashing lights when previewed.Elsewhere during the show, Tesfaye also gave his collaboration with Lily-Rose Depp and BLACKPINK’s Jennie, ‘One Of The Girls’ – for the soundtrack of HBO’s The Idol, which all three of them starred in – its live debut.‘Open Hearts’ marks the latest preview from his upcoming album ‘Hurry Up Tomorrow’.

In late September, The Weeknd released the single ‘Timeless’ with Playboi Carti. ‘Timeless’, ‘Open Hearts’ and lead single ‘Dancing In The Flames’ are all expected to feature on the forthcoming record, which will serve as the third and final chapter in his ongoing trilogy that began with ‘After Hours’ and ‘Dawn FM’.The artwork for ‘Hurry Up Tomorrow’ has since been unveiled on social media, featuring a simple close-up shot of Abel Tesfaye’s face, in a departure from the facial prosthetics used during the ‘After Hours’ era.
