Background and release

[edit]

A potential collaboration between Swedish House Mafia and the Weeknd was first speculated when the group signed with the Weeknd's longtime managerWassim "Sal" Slaiby in April 2021.[4] It was later teased by the Weeknd during an episode of hisApple Music 1 radio showMemento Mori, in which he stated in the introduction "The Swedes just landed inL.A."[5] A snippet of "Moth to a Flame" was then revealed by Swedish House Mafia during their performance at the2021 MTV Video Music Awards in September.[6] On 19 October, the group and the singer teased the single once again before announcing that it would be released on 22 October.[7] In celebration of its release, Swedish House Mafia hosted the twentieth episode ofMemento Mori.[8]

Critical reception

[edit]

Dani Blum ofPitchfork named "Moth to a Flame" the best song onParadise Again, writing that the "tingling production is more elegant than Swedish House Mafia seemed capable of a decade ago."[9] Robin Murray ofClash described it as "a sizzling 80s tinged burner that places [the Weeknd] within an electronic orchestra."[10] Thomas Stremfel ofSpectrum Culture wrote that "equally unique framing and biblical stakes elevate the track to a pop epic."[11]Billboard's Starr Bowenbank compared "Moth to a Flame" to the Weeknd's "Blinding Lights", highlighting its synth as being menacing in a manner akin to the song.[12]

In the United Kingdom, "Moth to a Flame" debuted at number 15 on theUK Singles Chart with first-week sales of 19,853 units, making it Swedish House Mafia's seventh top 20 single and the Weeknd's 19th.[13][14] In the United States, "Moth to a Flame" entered theHot Dance/Electronic Songs chart at number two with 12.9 million streams, 1.7 million radio impressions and 3,800 downloads sold in its opening week.
