Yesterday (2 August) The Weeknd gave fans a taster of his upcoming music by sharing a generous snippet on socials, and today (3 August) he's followed it up with the announcement of new single "Take My Breath".

The Weeknd, real name Abel Tesfaye, announced the new single with a clip featuring the Tokyo Olympics USA Women’s Track & Field team. The new clip features the same instrumentation from yesterday's snippet.

The Weeknd's forthcoming album (that's yet to be announced) will follow last year's After Hours.

Yesterday (2 August) The Weeknd stated in a new GQ interview that the new album is "the album I’ve always wanted to make". He also revealed he'd "love to work with Arca", adding, "I’d love to work with Kanye again. Especially on production. I got mad love for Tyler, the Creator, and what he’s doing right now."

The Weeknd's "Take My Breath" single will be released on Friday (6 August).
