The Weeknd has returned with his second single of the week, "Blinding Lights".
"Blinding Lights" was originally teased in a clip for a new Mercedes Benz advert last weekend.
The Weeknd has shared the synth-heavy track just two days after dropping "Heartless".
Although The Weeknd hasn't released a new album since 2016's Starboy, he did release an EP titled My Dear Melancholy last year.
Earlier this year, the Canadian singer/songwriter contributed to the Game of Thrones soundtrack with "Power Is Power".
The Weeknd's new single "Blinding Lights" is out now.
