The Weeknd’s new album ranked: Hurry Up Tomorrow album by The Weeknd ranked from best to worst

The ultimate track ranking of Hurry Up Tomorrow, The Weeknd’s most awaited album!

The Weeknd, one of the most influential artists of modern R&B and pop, is set to release his highly anticipated sixth studio album, Hurry Up Tomorrow, on January 31, 2025. This album serves as the grand finale to a trilogy that began with 2020’s chart-topping After Hours and continued with 2022’s sonically immersive Dawn FM. Known for his signature blend of moody synths, haunting vocals, and cinematic storytelling, The Weeknd, born as Abel Makkonen Tesfaye, has built a legacy of hit records that have defined an era of music.

With global smash hits like Starboy, The Hills, Wicked Games, and Call Out My Name, The Weeknd has cemented himself as a dominant force in music. Beyond his success in the industry, he has also ventured into acting, making a memorable cameo in 2019’s critically acclaimed film Uncut Gems alongside Adam Sandler. More recently, he took on a starring role in HBO’s controversial series The Idol, where he acted opposite Lily-Rose Depp.

The Weeknd’s influence extends beyond just his own albums. He has collaborated on some of the most celebrated projects in recent years, including his contribution to the Grammy-winning Black Panther soundtrack, executive produced by Kendrick Lamar. With four Grammy Awards under his belt, his most recent win came in 2022 for Best Melodic Rap Performance with Kanye West’s Hurricane. Now, he is once again in the running for a Grammy, earning a nomination for “We Still Don’t Trust You”, his viral collaboration with Future and Metro Boomin.

Is Hurry Up Tomorrow The Weeknd’s grand finale?

What makes Hurry Up Tomorrow even more intriguing is that The Weeknd has hinted that this may not just be the end of his album trilogy—but the end of “The Weeknd” persona itself. After headlining the Super Bowl halftime show in 2021, a performance many saw as a redemption for After Hours being snubbed at the Grammys, it’s hard to imagine him stepping away from music entirely.

However, the themes of Hurry Up Tomorrow suggest a deeply personal and introspective album. It continues his signature storytelling of heartbreak, fame, and self-destruction, exploring the life of a celebrity who feels trapped in the limelight. The Weeknd has always played with the duality of his public persona and his private struggles, and this project seems to be his most revealing yet.

Whether this truly marks the end of The Weeknd’s era or the beginning of a new artistic reinvention, Hurry Up Tomorrow is shaping up to be one of 2025’s most talked-about albums. Fans and critics alike will be eagerly waiting to see what this next chapter holds.

 

The Weeknd’s Hurry Up Tomorrow album ranked!

 

22. I Can’t F*g Sing (Track 3 – 0:12)

This ultra-short, 12-second interlude is The Weeknd at his most raw, venting about his vocal struggles between “Cry For Me” and “São Paulo.” While it might seem like a throwaway moment, it actually references a real-life incident—his infamous voice loss at SoFi Stadium in 2022. Though it doesn’t stand on its own as a song, it adds authenticity to Hurry Up Tomorrow by nodding to a personal low point in his career.

21. Until We’re Skin & Bones (Track 5 – 0:22)

Another short transition piece, “Until We’re Skin & Bones” bridges “São Paulo” and “Baptized in Fear” with an eerie, sci-fi-inspired instrumental. The synth-heavy orchestration feels otherworldly, making it a cinematic pause before the album’s intensity kicks back in.

 

20. Big Sleep (Track 16 – 3:45)

“Big Sleep” is one of the most sonically experimental tracks on Hurry Up Tomorrow. The trippy opening feels straight out of Mac Miller’s Balloonerism, setting the stage for a slow-burning, haunting track that feels like a descent into the underworld. With eerie production and some of Abel’s best vocals, this song crafts an unsettling atmosphere perfect for fans of dark, moody music.

 

19. São Paulo (feat. Anitta) (Track 4 – 5:02)

 

A track that split fan opinions when it dropped as a single, “São Paulo” still feels slightly out of place on the album. That said, its upbeat energy and Anitta’s Brazilian flair provide a much-needed break from Hurry Up Tomorrow’s largely melancholic sound. It’s a track best suited for the right mood—when you need a break from the darkness and just want to vibe.

 

18. Drive (Track 18 – 3:09)

 

“Drive” embodies the feeling of escaping reality, hitting the road with no destination in mind. With a stripped-down production and emotionally charged vocals, The Weeknd captures the thrill of breaking free from responsibility, making this track a standout for fans who love his storytelling-driven music.

 

17. Give Me Mercy (Track 17 – 3:36)

 

This song blends The Weeknd’s signature melancholic storytelling with an ’80s-inspired beat, reminiscent of artists like Phil Collins and Toto. Its nostalgic, synth-heavy production sets it apart, making it one of the more unique and experimental moments on the album.

 

16. Enjoy The Show (feat. Future) (Track 10 – 5:01)

 

A long-awaited reunion between The Weeknd and Future, “Enjoy The Show” doesn’t quite reach the heights of their previous collaborations like “Low Life.” However, Future ditches heavy autotune for rawer vocals, creating a moody, atmospheric track that leans more into Hurry Up Tomorrow’s thematic depth than a typical club banger.

 

15. Take Me Back To LA (Track 15 – 4:14)

 

Serving as a spiritual sequel to “Escape from LA” from After Hours, this track finds The Weeknd reflecting on past relationships and self-discovery. Nostalgic yet self-assured, it highlights his ongoing journey of personal growth and the pull that Los Angeles still has on him.

 

14. Cry For Me (Track 2 – 3:44)

 

A hypnotic and volatile early track, “Cry For Me” builds steadily with a layered production that never gives the listener a moment to breathe. It’s one of the album’s most replayable songs, thanks to its relentless energy and immersive sound design.

 

13. I Can’t Wait To Get There (Track 12 – 3:09)

 

With a groove that feels like a fusion of Bruno Mars and Tyler, the Creator, this track is one of Hurry Up Tomorrow’s easiest listens. Placed right before “Timeless,” it kicks off the second half of the album with a laid-back, summer-ready vibe.

 

12. Red Terror (Track 20 – 3:52)

 

Part of the album’s haunting final stretch, “Red Terror” is as ominous as its title suggests. The eerie synths and haunting lyrics paint a picture of final goodbyes, while The Weeknd’s solemn vocals add to the song’s chilling impact.

 

11. Opening Night (Track 8 – 1:36)

 

Short but incredibly effective, “Opening Night” echoes the dreamy, psychedelic vibes of Tame Impala. The heavy reverb and telephone-like synths create a nostalgic yet futuristic atmosphere, making it one of the album’s most intriguing interludes.

 

10. Given Up On Me (Track 11 – 5:55)

 

With a jaw-dropping beat switch, this nearly six-minute track is a rollercoaster of emotion. Co-produced by Mike Dean and Metro Boomin, “Given Up On Me” feels like a sonic journey through self-doubt and insecurity, making it one of the most powerful moments on the album.

 

9. Reflections Laughing (feat. Florence + The Machine & Travis Scott) (Track 9 – 4:51)

 

A mesmerizing blend of Western-style acoustic guitar and atmospheric hip-hop, this track features Florence Welch’s ethereal vocals alongside a deeper-voiced Travis Scott. It’s cinematic, trippy, and unlike anything else on the album.

 

8. Niagara Falls (Track 14 – 4:37)

 

Initially a sleeper hit, “Niagara Falls” becomes more addictive with each listen. With production that nods to Drake’s 2010s era, it’s one of Hurry Up Tomorrow’s most accessible and emotionally rich tracks.

 

7. Without a Warning (Track 21 – 4:58)

 

This slow-building anthem feels like the true climax of the album, encapsulating The Weeknd’s “tragic celebrity” persona. It’s a theatrical, almost cinematic track that ties together the album’s overarching themes.

 

6. Baptized In Fear (Track 6 – 3:52)

 

With an industrial intro reminiscent of Blade Runner, “Baptized in Fear” delivers some of the most emotionally raw lyrics on the album. Its haunting chorus, “Voices tell me that I should carry on,” lingers long after the song ends.

 

5. Open Hearts (Track 7 – 3:55)

 

Seamlessly transitioning from “Baptized in Fear,” this track is an instant favorite. A perfect mix of pop accessibility and deep storytelling, it’s ideal for both club playlists and introspective late-night drives.

 

4. Hurry Up Tomorrow (Track 22 – 4:51)

 

The album’s title track serves as a moment of redemption, closing out Hurry Up Tomorrow and perhaps even The Weeknd’s After Hours trilogy. It’s a soul-baring ballad that solidifies the album’s themes of closure and transcendence.

 

3. Timeless (Track 13 – 4:16)

 

Pharrell’s production and Playboi Carti’s infectious feature make “Timeless” an absolute standout. True to its name, this track has a hook that won’t leave your head anytime soon.

 

2. The Abyss (feat. Lana Del Rey) (Track 19 – 4:43)

 

Lana Del Rey’s guest appearance makes this one of The Weeknd’s most hauntingly beautiful songs. Capturing the existential themes of the album, “The Abyss” is emotionally devastating yet impossible to skip.

 

1. Wake Me Up (feat. Justice) (Track 1 – 5:09)

 

The perfect opener, “Wake Me Up” blends Justice’s electric energy with The Weeknd’s signature darkness, setting the stage for one of his most ambitious projects yet.
