This isn’t the first time the two artists have collaborated.

The Weeknd and Anitta previously worked together on music released in 2025, making a continuation of their creative collaboration.

Adding to the momentum, he recently cleared his Instagram reel feed, leaving only a clip of the teased track.

The preview also marks a notable shift, especially after the Canadian native previously hinted at taking a break from releasing new music. 

As of writing, the release date for the song has not been announced… yet.
