"Open Hearts " is a song by Canadian singer-songwriterthe Weeknd . It was released throughXO andRepublic Records as the seventh track from his sixth studio album,Hurry Up Tomorrow , on January 31, 2025. The song was written and produced alongsideMax Martin andOscar Holter . It had a limited release through theApple Music Immersive experience titledThe Weeknd: Open Hearts , which was available exclusively on theApple TV app on theApple Vision Pro as the first ever music video experience designed exclusively around the product, on November 14, 2024.[ 3] The song transitioned out of the album's previous track "Baptized in Fear ".
The music video was shot entirely with a 180-degree media format, and is directed by Anton Tammi, who previously directed the music video for its then-lead single "Dancing in the Flames ".[ 4] [ 5] [ 6] It is the first ever exclusive music video released for the Apple Vision Pro and was released on November 14, 2024.[ 7] The music video features the Weeknd confronting his inner demons in a visually dark and sinister setting, starting with a scene where he's strapped to a gurney in an ambulance. The narrative intensifies as the ambulance crew, depicted with glowing orange eyes, hint at an eerie, otherworldly presence, accompanying a journey that shifts from a desert highway to the streets of Los Angeles. The video culminates with Tesfaye facing a cult-like leader in a room of creatures with glowing eyes, revealing the leader to be a darker version of himself, enhancing the song's themes of struggle and self-confrontation.[ 8]
The video was then released onYouTube on February 2, 2025.
