1. "Blinding Lights" is a new-wavey pop song about an old flame.

2. The identity of said ex-girlfriend has fueled a lot of speculation on the internet.

3. Most people think The Weeknd is singing about Bella Hadid, his off-again girlfriend since 2015.

But let's start with some facts.

  • In October 2019, The Weeknd attended Hadid's birthday party in NYC.
  • Sources claimed the two were back together, though the singer's reps insisted they were just friends.
  • If The Weeknd really is feeling heartbroken, at least he's got a lot of potential distractions in his life.

  • "Blinding Lights" and "Heartless" arrived just weeks before the release of the film 'Uncut Gems,' featuring The Weeknd in a mirror role.
  • 'Uncut Gems' was directed by brothers Josh and Benny Sadfie, who evidently got an early preview of The Weeknd's forthcoming LP.
