King of the Fall

King of the Fall

The Weeknd

Another free, stand-alone track from Abel, “King Of The Fall” was released in 2014 in anticipation for his then-untitled second album (released in 2015 as Beauty Behind the Madness; this song did not make the tracklisting). We find him crooning about drugs, females, and fame – all familiar subject matter. The track lent its name to The Weeknd’s 2014 King of the Fall Tour.

On 24 September he teased the release on Instagram by posting a picture captioned “king of the fall” and on September 25, 2020, the song was finally uploaded to streaming services, along with new cover art.
