The Weeknd and Anitta release haunting “São Paulo” video

The Weeknd has just released the highly anticipated track and music video for “São Paulo,” featuring Brazilian superstar Anitta. Directed by visionary FREEKA, the video unfolds in dark, surreal scenes with a storyline in which Anitta is pregnant and a sinister face appears in her stomach. These chilling images add a new, intense visual layer to The Weeknd's evolving artistic journey. Parallel to the video premiere, fans worldwide can now stream “São Paulo” on all platforms.

The track's release comes amid a string of successes for The Weeknd, who recently broke his own record as the artist with the most monthly listeners on Spotify, at over 120 million. This follows chart-toppers such as “Timeless” featuring Playboi Carti, produced by Pharrell Williams, and “Dancing in the Flames,” both of which will be featured on his upcoming album. Hurry up tomorrow.

Just last month, The Weeknd's sold-out concert in São Paulo, streamed to millions worldwide, brought the artist's electrifying energy to the world and trended in 24 countries. The concert included surprise performances from Anitta and Playboi Carti. Proceeds from the merchandise went to BrazilFoundation's Brazilian Soul Fund, which supports local communities in need.
