The Weeknd and Anitta Release 'São Paulo'

The Weeknd has released a new single titled 'São Paulo,' featuring Brazilian pop star Anitta, accompanied by a haunting music video directed by Freeka. In the surreal video, Anitta portrays a character with a pregnant belly that sings the song's lyrics, enhancing its eerie Halloween theme. This collaboration follows their live debut of 'São Paulo' during The Weeknd’s concert in São Paulo, Brazil, earlier in September, where the song was well-received. The Weeknd, who recently achieved over 120 million monthly listeners on Spotify, stated that Anitta's contributions were so impressive that they inspired the song's creation. Anitta expressed her surprise and excitement about the collaboration, noting it as a dream come true. 'São Paulo' will be part of The Weeknd’s upcoming album, 'Hurry Up Tomorrow,' alongside previously released singles 'Dancing in the Flames' and 'Timeless.'
