How to play Blinding Lights by The Weeknd: The genesis of “Blinding Lights”

“Blinding Lights” is the second single, released on November 29, 2019, by the Canadian singer The Weeknd, from his fourth album “After Hours”. It was Billboard's #1 record of the year. The official music video for the record-breaking hit, with an undeniable '80s vibe, has garnered over 350 million views on Youtube.

Spotify announced on January 1, 2023 that “Blinding Lights” had exceeded “Shape Of You” ofEd Sheeran to become the most streamed song on the platform.

The first shot of the video is unforgettable: a close-up of The Weeknd, bruised with bleeding teeth; he laughs, cries and screams into the camera. Then he gets into a car, and an incredible mix of a love song combined with a crazy car ride occurs, ending with The Weeknd standing alone on a viaduct.

But what does it really mean “Blinding Lights” ? The song definitely seems to be about love, but it's not entirely clear who it is about.
It appears that the song refers to The Weeknd's relationship with supermodel Bella Hadid. With lyrics like these, it seems logical: “I said, ooh, I'm blinded by the lights / No, I can't sleep until I feel your touch / I said, ooh, I drown me in the night / Oh, when I'm like this, it's you I trust.” But unlike other artists who sometimes leave their lyrics up to the listener's interpretation,

How to play Blinding Lights by The Weeknd: Blinding lights lyrics: the explanation

The Weeknd explained in detail what her hit song actually means. The singer-songwriter explained that his song is actually about love, lust...and drunk driving: “Blinding Lights talk about how you want to see someone at night, and you're drunk, and you drive up to this person and you're just blinded by the streetlights.

But nothing can stop you from trying to go see this person, because you feel so alone.” So this is it. The song “Blinding Lights” by The Weeknd is about the blurry street lights someone might see on their way to see someone they love and miss – when they've been drinking, which, again, you should never, ever do. As the United States Department of Transportation states: Drunk driving is driving while intoxicated.
