“Blinding Lights” is the second single to The Weeknd’s fourth studio album After Hours, following the record’s lead single “Heartless”, which released two days prior on November 27, 2019. The track finds Abel in a constant state of distraction that he only gets relief from when in the presence of a significant other, as he sings over an up-tempo electropop instrumental that features large ‘80s-inspired synths and synthwave drums.
