The Weeknd - Take My Breath

Take My Breath by The Weeknd Song Info

"Take My Breath" is a song by Canadian singer The Weeknd. It was released on August 6, 2021, as the lead single from his fifth studio album Dawn FM. A portion of the song's instrumental was first teased by The Weeknd on social media platforms on August 2, 2021. A disco, dance-pop, funk, and synth-wave track with psychedelic elements, "Take My Breath" was met with widespread critical acclaim for the Weeknd's vocals and its production, which was influenced by the beats and synthesizers of the 1980s. The song debuted at number six on the US Billboard Hot 100, marking The Weeknd's thirteenth top 10 entry. The single and radio version of the song runs for a duration of three minutes and forty seconds, while the extended version has a length of five minutes and fifty-one seconds. Also, the album version of the song runs for a duration of five minutes and thirty-nine seconds, which segues from the preceding track "How Do I Make You Love Me?". It was written in the key of C minor with a tempo of 121 beats per minute. Lyrically, the song details an entanglement in a romantic relationship that ultimately leads to autoerotic asphyxiation. The Weeknd first teased that he was working on a new album in September 2020, via an interview with Rolling Stone in which he stated "I might have another album ready to go by the time this quarantine is over". Later on, during the 2021 Billboard Music Awards in May, he went on to state in his acceptance speech "I just want to say the After Hours are done and The Dawn is coming." Throughout June and July, The Weeknd continued to mention his then-upcoming project under the tentative title "The Dawn" by revealing a new transitional look. He also released the singles "You Right" with Doja Cat and "Better Believe" with Belly and Young Thug during that period. On August 2, 2021, a snippet of "Take My Breath" with a visual of a sunrise titled "The Dawn Is Coming" and a GQ cover story was released in anticipation of new music. The title of the single and its release date of August 6 was confirmed later that day through a promotional video for the 2020 Summer Olympics, which featured hurdlers Sydney McLaughlin and Dalilah Muhammad, middle-distance runner Athing Mu, and sprinter Gabrielle Thomas. The music video for "Take My Breath" was first teased by the Weeknd on social media via self-released images of the visual during the week leading up to the release of the single. Directed by Cliqua, it originally was supposed to play before IMAX showings of The Suicide Squad, but was reportedly pulled due to epilepsy concerns in regards to the pervasive strobe lighting in the video. The video was released alongside the song on August 6, 2021. The video starts with The Weeknd walking outside overlooking a sunrise, before entering a nightclub with pulsating strobe lights. Upon entering the club, he meets his love interest, played by actress and stuntwoman Shaina West. The two dance together and exchange breaths through an oxygen tank, before The Weeknd's breath is literally taken away as he gets strangled by West's braids. The video ends with The Weeknd regaining his breath and consciousness as he is seen lying down on the club floor with a snippet of "Sacrifice" playing in the background. As of early 2022, the video has over 100 million views on YouTube. "Take My Breath" was used as the theme song for WWE's 2021 pay-per-view Crown Jewel.

- This is incredible

One of the best albums I’ve heard in years!

- 5/5

This album is great holy crap

- dawn fm

this album is amazing, i’m reviewing this because it deserve it

- Awesome

Great album While I don’t feel this is the weekend at his peak, it’s still worth a few listens. Best friends, sacrifice, and Tyler’s verse on “here we go again” are in my opinion some of the best parts of the album however it would certainly still be great without these parts 4.5/5 (I can’t do half a star)

- Fire

Before I realized the album was over. Had to restart. Back to jamming

- What is everyone else hearing?

This album is not a classic like his others. Nothing to remember. Nothing to stick on repeat. Every track sounds about the same. I took two full listens thru the album and was done with it. Smh what happen?!?!?

- Change is good

9/10 album for me. Love when artists can change their sound and experiment. It seems like everyone is too stuck on his past music.

- Very good

Dawn F.M. is a solid follow up to the hit album After Hours, and paves the way for his final installment in this trilogy…

- Trilogy & Kissland were his best works.

The record label told him to go pop and it probably made him a lot of money and new fans but he definitely lost some fans too.

- 3 stars

3 stars because there’s only about 3 good songs on this album. This is the first time since I first heard The Weeknd, that I will not be buying his album. :/

- PURE 80s MAGIC

great album. im totall in to the 80s sound. I cant get enough of this albums 80s/Michael Jackson vibe! ALL ARTISTS, PLEASE TAKE NOTES! WE NEED AND WANT MORE RETRO/80S INSPIRED MUSIC!

- Abel X Tezzy

He did it again, love this

- To the fake as fans

Did y’all even listen to the album? let me guess y’all wanted the same old crap that’s being heard on the radio 24/7? 🤣. The 80s style is amazing!!! He killed ( 🔥 ) a style that hasn’t been popular in almost 40 years. To us younger generations it’s pretty amazing we get to experience that. A lot of y’all just sound like a bunch of haters 🤣🤣🤣

- Sorry, but this is underwhelming.

I love this artist, but not feeling it. Some of these songs feel like b-sides to his last album, which was amazing.

- Perfect soundtrack to wait for the next variant

Optional?

- Why🤨????

Basically, if you look at the album cover it says it all🙄🙄

- Love the album

It is good one just need to listed all the song

- Ambitious but falls slightly short

This album definitely feels like something spiritual or special in a sense and the vocals are amazing as usual with his projects I just felt like I wasn’t getting the message he was trying to convey it feels like there is supposed to be a theme and concept that I feel like just didn’t quite feel as impactful but the songs are still really good even if some of them sound very similar I still enjoyed it myself

- A classic in a bad way

Some reviewers are writing that this is definitely a classic but, respectfully, it is in a bad way. Mr Tesfaye is digging too bad in the eighties' sounds and he is placed besides a scanner, as he is literally copying sounds and notes from 80s pop, especially techno-pop this time. Gasoline is a copy from The Human League and Heaven 17. His voice sounds exactly like Phil Oakey's in many fragments! And the same happens with "Don't Break My Heart", in which the tone and the sound is exactly as the early Depeche Mode sounded (even Dave Gahan's voice). Others, like Dawn FM and Less that Zero sounds like Ultravox and John Foxx. Maybe for younger generations this is so cool and a wonder to be listened, but people who really lived in the eighties only can consider it like a pale reflect of what was the amazing music of an era.

- Album of the year

Buy the art n let it heal ur soul

- Such a strong album

Smooth album great songs 5/5

- New?

A copycat is never good. State it as it is and maybe, if you are good enough(he actually is) listeners will appreciate it more. Don’t get me wrong I like the 80’s and the likes of Depeche Mode are in my playlist. Truth is such a rarity, as if one will not notice the lies. This is 80’s music rebranded.

- Album of the Year

Anyone saying this album is anything less than a classic, really needs to get their head examined.

- Not The Best

I get that this is supposed to be a continuation and all, but it makes no sense. A lot of the songs on here are pretty bad but I would go with Take My Breath, Sacrifice, Best Friends, Is There Someone Else?, Don’t Break My Heart, and Less Than Zero. Those ones are listenable, skip the rest (it’s fairly cringy).

- Heck of a follow up

While I think After Hours is slightly better this one is a fantastic follow up. Been following his career since house of balloons. Love this new style he going for hope it becomes a trilogy

- Same old stuff

Almost every song sounds the same. All artists do nowadays is copy and paste. Then mass produce music in short periods of time. Honestly just bad

- I LOVE YOU

Dawn FM is amazingggg!!! I love The Weeknd

- He did it again 🔥🔥

Amazing!

- Yes

Yes

- I think it’s pretty good

Idk why this album is getting so much hate

- Truly Amazing.

Truly amazing, let’s appreciate Abel gracing us with quality sound and lyrics during a very dry moment in music industry. Thank you. It is truly amazing.

- This album is so good it hurts

I watched The Weeknd live on Twitch release night and the pleasure was all mine! Now, this older man face looks good on him and while he has yet to explain it to my knowledge, he is a genius. I adore your music dude-every album I have! Please keep it coming! 🎧 🎶 🎤 A voice is so soft, so lovely 🥰...

- THE DAWN IS HERE

I love you Abel this is so good I enjoy every song on this album 🖤🤍XOXO

- Buy this

Great album

- Masterpiece

🤯

- Unbelievable

I have always been a slight fan of the weekend but this album is pure fire!!! First one I got and I’m hooked.

- 80s mix with moderation I Loves it!

The Weeknd is in his own lane and world! I love the soundtrack and it truly shows how diverse he is as an artist without losing his originality. So looking forward to future projects! Big fan! 🔈🙏🏾

- Music

It’s good

- Dawn fm

Wasn’t impressed. Boring songs. All sound the same. And I love the weekend, disappointing :(

- amazing.

amazing.

- 5

beautiful

- Amazing!

The Weeknd has been dropping some amazing music one right after the other and this one is just the latest in his best work to date. I can’t get enough of this album!!

- Frustrating

When you begin an album with so much promise, it’s that much more painful when the rest devolves into regressive monotony. Gasoline, How Can I Make You Love Me?, Take My Breath, and Sacrifice are stand-outs.

- Why

I’d rather go forward in music sounds, not regress… hey the 70's called they want their sound back

- Overrated

Nothing special

- Great album

I love Synth music and this was an amazing way to make music

- Amazing Abel

Just can’t get this album out of head !! Worth the listen in 2022. My favorites on it is "Best Friends & "Less than Zero." Wow. "Sacrifice" was great as well; I like commentary touch from Uncle Jim Carey and tale of Quincy, I don't know if his bit was true, but it was touching. Great Work

- Bah bah bah bah bah bah bah bah bah bah bah

You’re all Sheep - this is crap

- Perfect

This album is one of his best 📺

- i feel alive again

it’s been awhile since music has made me FEEL alive. thank you, Abel.
