Save Your Tears

Save Your Tears

The Weeknd

On “Save Your Tears,” The Weeknd once again addresses his past relationships and recollects on the experiences they went through together, while also providing no emotional support for his ex. The song is one of the more ‘80s, synth-heavy tracks featured on the record compared to the darker, muddier tracks seen during the middle of the record.

On July 12, 2019, a snippet of the track appeared online, leading many to believe that it was set to appear on After Hours. On March 17, 2020, the music identifying app Shazam revealed that the track was the eleventh track on The Weeknd’s fourth studio album, After Hours. It was later confirmed by The Weeknd on the same day when the album’s track list was released.

On August 9, 2020, the track was released as the album’s fourth single in Europe, followed by releasing in the United States on November 24, 2020. A music video accompanying the track was released on January 5, 2021.
