Before the song was finished, The Weeknd and Playboi Carti debuted their collaboration ‘Timeless.’
Just hours after they started working on it together, the American born duo decided to perform the track at The Weeknd’s One Night Only concert in São Paulo in September 2024.
In an interview with Variety, XO co-founder Amir “Cash†Esmailian said that The Weeknd surprised everyone when he said “Let’s perform the song we worked on today.â€
Republic Records Marleny Reyes added “We knew we had to capitalize. For us, it’s always about following Abel’s lead and augmenting his vision.” “Nobody is better at organically building buzz than he is.â€
Having worked on the track for months, producer Mike Dean explained “I got the rough track early on, before Abel even laid down vocals. Backstage in São Paulo, the vibe was right,†so Mike added “piano chords, lead lines and some layers†to piece it all together. “You can see me in the video asking Carti who started it. That’s when I found out it was Pharrell [Williams].” “We don’t really have to talk much anymore. It’s pure flow.â€
Reyes added that “The song has continued to thrive for well over a year. We’re always looking beyond the first day, week and month.â€
Making it the highest-earning tour by a male solo artist ever, it was revealed that The Weeknd’s After Hours Til Dawn tour has grossed more than $1,000,000,000 across 153 shows.
Since its 2022 launch in North America (twice), Europe, the UK, Latin America, and Australia, following the announcement of new 2026 dates in Mexico, Brazil, Europe, and the UK, the tour has sold more than 7,500.000 tickets globally.
The trek has also generated over $8,500,000 in donations to the XO Humanitarian Fund and Global Citizen, with proceeds from the 2026 leg continuing to support the World Food Program.
The 2025 North American stadium run – which included more than 40 sold-out shows – broke multiple venue records, including highest-grossing Black male artist in venue history in New York, Denver, Santa Clara, Seattle, Edmonton, Montreal, Orlando, Arlington, and Houston.
