I’ve listened to this an unhealthy amount of times already
same lmao
Literally the only song I’ve listened to since it dropped. 😐
It's been the only song I've listened to today
sameee
Straight factssss samee
Blinding Lights was for the radio, Heartless was for the locals. This is for XO fam.
SeezyRay spot on
SeezyRay Pilsner couldn’t have said it any better
So true
All the songs were for everyone 🖤 But yes though lol
W
'its not even halfway through"
best weeknd songs are 5+ minutes
Tbh🤞❤️
Maggie Greenberg facts
Acquainted ** or Girls Born in the 90s
Wicked games
The zone
After the song ended, i literally just sat still for like 5 minutes. It was just so beautiful:)
T.J .L OMG SAMEEEEEE
I just smiled, nothing else
It was impeccable
I did the same except I was crying an ocean, every word related to me so it hit like bullets
I left it on repeat
i was about to cry cuz it's honeslty one of a kind . he honestly broke all of our expectations for the song
Fun fact: This track has the same producer from trilogy.
illangelo
I knew this album gonna be great since i heard he will reunion with his producer illangelo🔥🔥
heartless too
@@adam-hp6qt true,but it had more of the metro boomin sound to it.
So did most of Beauty behind the madness
"this house is not a home" is a lyric from twentyeight in HOB so now hearing him say "this house is not a home without my baby" is brilliant and shows amazing growth so proud. thanks for reacting!! XOTWOD
Ali Losa he put a bunch of those parallels throughout the whole song, too many to write out, but he is insanely genius for that and thats what makes his music so unique
In Twenty Eight he says "This house is not a home to you" talking about he shouldn't have let who he's singing to even come around because now they won't leave.
In this song it's the other way around, she left and now it's not a home to him.
Twenty eight is part of trilogy not house of balloons
Music_Topic you’re right! It wasn’t in the original. My bad I meant to say it’s included in the HOB section of trilogy as the 10th track
@@alilosa5980 no you are right it's from house of ballons
This is what the die hard XO fans wanted. A return to the old sound but with his even more improved voice and style. Well we got it guys!! We eatin good :D Album drops March 20th its official. This song even tho I wanted this type of Abel, he shocked me, it's so dark and haunting but beautiful and honest. If the rest of the album is similar to this then this could be one of his best pieces of work since trilogy for sure. Jon great reaction as always man take a few more listens to this it gets better!! Great content man! March 20th pls come quick. XOTWOD
Die-hard fans want new music, not old Abel. Just saying this song and album will be a mix of previous albums is just degrading and dumb. it's basicaly a NEW sound. Yall wouldn't like the album if it was like the previous one's because you already listened to that type of music 24/7 when you were listening to trilogy, mdm, starboy and bbtm. So in conclusion, this is new and its some good ass fucking music. Xo
@@RikTaa What I mean when I say "old music" or "old sound" is the type of subject matter and fundamentals in his music that the core fans love, the more raw, honest and darker Abel which is most certainly what it looks like we're going to be getting with this new album if you look at the 3 songs he's released so far overall, as well as him saying on his Instagram and Twitter "No more daytime music." and " get ready for a brain melting psychotic chapter." I also don't believe that I once said this coming project will be a mix of his past albums too(or that I wanted it to be). Technically every sound and song he creates is a new sound and I am not calling for Abel to totally copy any past or previous albums or projects or songs, I just want him to incorporate and bring back the foundations that made him so good in the first place and got him here, which were the qualities i listed at the start, and this is what he is doing. So that's what I meant by the term "old Abel". I, like you im sure are very excited to hear this project with Abels newer style as well as an older more previous BUT not identical foundation and nature. That's what I meant mate.
- Oh sorry and I never said it wasn't good ass music. I agree it's great music!! :D :D
@@tanvirgrewal1222 wrll when you elaborate it's ok, i aggree.
@@RikTaa Thanks mate I'm glad ;)
You know its fire when he pulls out
them sunglasses
Even more fire when he says 3:28
It’s important to note the references and thematic similarities between this song and previous work.
On “Twenty Eight” he said, “This house is not a home to you..”
and now he’s saying “This house is not a home without my baby”
On “Wasted Times” he said “I don’t wanna wake up if you ain’t laying next to me”
and now he’s saying, “Put myself to sleep, Just so I can get closer to you inside my dreams“
Sonically, he explores with some unique sounds from “KissLand” and some dark synths from “Trilogy” and drums from “Beauty Behind The Madness” - if this title track is setting the tone for what the rest of the album will be like, then we can assume and hope that he’s found a way to make an album that encompasses everything we loved about the 3 albums I just mentioned.
I couldn't have said this better

I needed this comment - thnx
This >
Trilogy: Coming Down
After hours: Never comin’ down
This is the best track I've heard this year. Incredible.
Servaas Demuyt 2019 included
The best 🐐
Same bro 😲🔥🔥🔥 I'm from 🇨🇵
still is
For me this decade 💞
This is the best single out of the three he released, absolutely UNREAL! Can’t wait for the album, XOTWOD
Best but other 2 are great too )
I still consider Blinding Lights better but this gets pretty close.
Same 🙌🔥
Honestly best song from the weeknd since Kissland ngl
They just keep better.. Not sure how much I am going to be able to handle 😏
Someone protect Abel and my man illangelo. Together they are legendary.
This fucking song brought tears to my eyes. I've never heard a voice like his in my life, goosebumps the whole way through. There will never be another weeknd and it's so good to see how much Jon enjoys his music too. Absolutely unreal.
I was playing GTA while listening to this fire joint and it made me soo emotional. I'm soo hyped for March 20th!!!!!!!
“Oh f*ck off” had me dying😂great reaction and an amazing song
I’ve got chills when he said that coz I knew what the moment is coming and was priceless to see this dude reaction 😀
Heartless & Blinding Lights were great but this track is just on another level, this is the one we've been waiting for! 🖤
Same
After hours
Heartless
Blinding lights
Not to say it's bad but the other two absolutely slap
This track remind of angel
The Weeknd is the Batman of R&B
lil fetus haha and yet with the Joker vibes
Best reaction channel recently hands down
can’t like cuz ur at 69 but facts
Clearly you haven't heard of lost in vegas
He’s great for not being an OG
Imagine being Bella and waking up on a Saturday morning to this.
I actually think this song is about selena after the album dropped because it's after save your tears n he mentions crowded room again which is selenas song
@@may-gamer7877 he met Bella in the club a week after their break up and she immediately left and she was crying
I've never heard him so vulnerable, truly sounds like hes trynna get his girl back. Hope hes doing alright. beautiful song
The beat drop hit me harder then my dad did
BradleeeyHD I’m sorry.
*jazz music stops playing* Hol Up
before the beat drop, i wasnt sure if ill get into this song. And then after i heard the beat drop, just wow
What’s a dad?
Walfy Taffy oops are you orphan?
May the album be as good as these 3 singles, amen
MLY it issssss
And god said I gotchu
This song is not a single tho
@@newapat it is
callum bennett isn’t is like a promo song?
This is the best song of the album, and probably one his best ever.
Perfect fucking song to hold the title track!
Faith has entered the conversation
@@ryanshaw7113for me after hours is slightly better than faith, and the main reason is that it's longer. If faith was 6 minutes or so, it would be so close
This was on repeat literally all school day and o swear I’m depressed now. That second part of the song got me in my feels 🥺
as someone who can relate to every single word, pls kill me
Major Trilogy and Kissland Vibes on this one!
It feels like another song to Bella Hadid to me. The beat makes it a really good runway song for a designer to pick up for their fashion show and eventually a show Bella Hadid will be involved in. And the lyrics...come on now.
Zo my heart is praying a bella album and it’s looking pretty good so far 🥺🤩
It feels like all of the 3 he has released are directed to Bella❤️🤞
Actually when you dive deeper into the lyrics it’s not about Bella
Zo Could be he misses Selena, could be Bella or someone’s was seeing under the radar 🤷🏽♀️
Abel is the principal financial backer of the Clothing Line Riot Hill and they just had their initial fashion show this January in Paris. Bella even attended and say with Lamarr while wearing the brand. So maybe he will be using his music on his own line
"Why am i even trying to sound intelligent " 😂😂😂 if that ain't me
🤣🤣
Watching this song performed live in concert gave me chills. Musically but also the production with dancers and all was just incredible
Yeeees it was incredible :D
I feel like this track was aimed as us kiss land and trilogy fans, honestly a work of art from Abel XOTWOD🕊
This man is insane with music and he never loses with his music...this album is making it out to be his most perfect masterpiece and I can’t wait to listen🔥
The flow in the middle reminds me of the remix of "Odd Look" that he did
That was the first record that came into my mind the first time I heard this, especially the kavinsky remix
Brook thought the same
That's actually the first track I thought of when the beat finally dropped, but it's so on The Weeknd grounds that, at 5 AM omw to work, it just put a fucking smile on my face & I bobbed my head to it thinking "This fucking guy." 😭
Reminds me of Odd Look and Nocturnal
Before the beat dropped: This sounds like Kiss Land
After the beat dropped: This sounds like Kiss Land, Trilogy and MDM had a baby
Anyways, in regards with the revenue stuff, maybe it'd be good for you to blast the music through speakers? I notice some other reactors do that and their stuff doesn't get claimed as much.
F yeah!!
More like, before the beat dropped: Sounds like Trilogy
After the beat dropped: sounds like Kiss Land
But still good catch man
I honestly think he somehow mixed all his albums on this one. Incredible
Spot on, def got a feel from all 3
ckboy023 Can’t spell Melancholy
cried my eyes out and still can't stop listening, one of the best tracks released for a while
If most of the album is this vibe omg
If the rest of the album is like this, he will top trilogy.
@@MuhammadSalman7236 nigga. I can name 20 songs on trilogy better than after hours. Let's say the other 11 are on after hours it will tie BBTM or tie kissland that's all
@@Hazeem4 nah after hours is better than half of trilogy
beats twenty eight, HOB/GTG, EOS, Montreal, life of the party, the part and the after party,lonely star, Montreal,Thursday, valerie, Birds PT1, Birds PT2, High for this, what you need, same old song, XO the Host, Initiation, heaven or Las Vegas, the knowing. These legit are some thought I was easily able to think of in my head. If I sat down with the album in front of me it would prob be more songs. Obviously music is subjective butttttt dont disrespect trilogy like that
Haven't heard trilogy but after hours the album is legendary
3:28 I cried laughing😭😭 Literally had the same reaction
This would fit on My Dear Melancholy, better than any other project from The Weeknd.
This is going to be a great project. A return to classic sound with better vocals.
Agreed.
He wrote this song during mdm time
@@shadyrady23 how you know?
@@brodykuemin9331 Mdm was in 2018, the weeknd already started writing tracks for after hours from 2018-2019, maybe even earlier
@@imxdpngoh thanks
This is easily his best track ever.
The beat in the beginning sounds like the beat from the song OPR by Gesaffelstein, who The Weeknd collaborated with for My Dear Melancholy.
the beat was produced by illangelo and DaHeala, the same producers that worked with him on trilogy 👀
Tanner Woods I believe they sampled it
If you look for the info in GENIUS you will see that OPR appears in the credits
this feels like trilogy and kissland had a baby and sprinkled in a small amount of his new style a bit
Merry christmas KING CRIMSON
Love coming back to this reaction, looking back its encompassed everything I felt when this song dropped. What a track 🔥🔥
You’re a real one. The way he says “no” to end the song is insane. Thanks for reacting even tho the ad revenue issues.
“That pounding - every so slightly light synth in the high register .. there’s a kind of threat to it” - epic use of words to describe this masterpiece!
March 20 needs to get here soon ⏱
I wish i could hear this song for the first time again
3:27 I had the same reaction 😂 my best part of the song.. I like that the lyrics are so dark an deep yet still the beat is amazingly joyful
I always come back to this reaction its just so good
Yep.
This is the love child of "Where You Belong" and "Odd Look" being raised by "Twenty Eight" and "Call Out My Name"
8:22 - 8:42 he wasn’t present in this world in that part. It happened to me lol
Stargirl Facts lol, Jon has to come back down to Earth after the “nooo” ended
I had a feeling all the club songs Abel was playing on Momento Mori was going to show in his album. I’m glad that feeling was correct. This song is FIRE 🔥🔥🔥
Coach frog Babadingdong hi! Do you know which songs he played on Momento Morí? Thnx
@@kevinelmendez on one episode of momento mori he played territory by the blaze which has a similar vibe to abels new song
Kevin Mendez Yes! Some songs I think Abel was inspired by is Subzero by Ben Klock, Crimewave by Crystal Castles, and Ghetto Kraviz by Nina Kraviz
Coach frog Babadingdong thank you!
I was so waiting for your reaction at 2:12 mark.
There are no words. And it’s been on repeat the last 24 hours. This was it!!!! ALBUM MARCH 20th let’s goooo!!!
Absolutely incredible song. So good.
The beat slowly creeping up in the background towards the buildup is beautiful
Been waiting for your reaction!!!! I was pretty stoned when this track dropped and I legit started laughing and crying. Bc he didn’t have to go this hard. Brought me back to 2013 discovering him towards the end of Kissland era. Wearing my King of the Fall shirt and only one person ever complimenting it until 2015. Now he’s one of the biggest artists in the world and he figured out how to make a sound that includes a bit from each previous masterpiece 😭😭💗💗 XOTWOD!!!!!
Getting the hint of Kavinsky showing through both ‘Blinding Lights’ and especially this title track with the chorus. Reminds me a lot of when they collaborated for ‘Odd Look’.
Edit: listen to Streliz’s slowed/reverb take on this song. Won’t regret it.
BasedPeasant yes!! Literally thought the same omf
Yes agreed with some of the vocals and beat type it reminded me a lot of Odd Look
Yes!!!!
I've been waiting for this vid since last night. Thanks for the hustle jon 👊
Finallyyyyy I've been waiting all day! Loved this track the most out of the three singles. Feels very Kiss Land vibes.
One of this song’s producers(Daheala) posted you on his Ig story.😂😂😂😂
After 2 years since this song came out I've heard this so many times. Through ups and downs in my life. I found myself here in this song. Thank you Abel you helped me through my dark times nearly killing myself. I thank you and you saved my life ♥️
Coming from a long time xo fan, this truly is the best song he ever recorded.
Weeknd + Illangelo really went back in time for this one but this shit is on steroids 🔥🔥 album bout to be a classic.
This song really got me hyped for this project 😩
You shouldn’t been hyped since it got announced...
when the drums come in, chills everytime
Abel left you speechless again makes me smile love watching your reactions. XOTWOD.
This couldve come straight off of MDM and i wouldnt have even noticed. And that is a great thing because MDM seemed like a continuation of Trilogy with the lessons learned from Kissland BBM, and Starboy.
I still listen to this track like literally ALL DAY EVERYDAY
this reaction is priceless. the only place we xo hang out! thanks for this jon
3:27 enjoy 😂
Stephen Carr felt the same away 😂
My AirPods ran out of battery when he said it 😂😂
He needs to do a compilation of when he puts the shades on lol
Anyone else think Jon is like a calm Gordon Ramsey who makes music reactions?
The only similarities is their nationity. Jon's English and Gordon's Scottish although he has an English accent. They're both British though.
That is truly hidious
😂😂😂😂
“This house is not a home without my baaaaaaby” shout out twenty eight
I think I danced to this song for about 40 minutes last night🔥
Exactly how I also reacted when the beat dropped😭😎
I've been a fan of the Weeknd for a long time now, and After Hours is probably my favorite album. Production is just insane
is it too early to say this is top 10 weeknd material
Top5 imo
Top 3
Top 1
Its his best song imo
This and The Morning are top 2 imho
This isn't just a comment section its xo family right here
i was waiting for this
Was waiting for this review.
this is one of his deepest songs so far its amasing the more you listen the more you get hooked
I cannot wait to see this live next year...
Man he sounds so much like Michael Jackson it’s crazy. The last 3 songs have all been bangers.
That songs graph is just elevating and elevating ❤️🔥
just wanted to say that i come back here every time i wanna listen to this song. LOVE LOVE your reaction!
Literally same! Every time I watch this reaction, it's like i'm listening to the song for the first time
Space Boy I know right! it’s just that great
still back here after 2 years
Back here again
He ends After Hours almost exactly like he ended Gone on Thursday. I’m so fucking excited for this new album
am i the only that still comes back here after 2 years? i just can't stop man
still here
ABEL TESFAYE SNAPPED
Is there someone who didn't cry? Bc I cried my eyes out tbh
I almost cried man. I just listened to it on repeat. I just want the album man 😭
@@arifjawadalam1777 same! I don't know how many times I listened to it since the release tbh.. More than a hundred ong, always crying bc it's impossible otherwise
@@francesca9204 honestly, I wasn't listening to anything else today
Francesca i wasn’t crying but I was vibing
@@frenchie9680 I did both lol
When Jon said “Fuck Off” at 3:28 I felt that
😁And I wasn’t offended. 🎶 🎧😎
I love when that bop hits
This song playing in loop since last 24 hours.
This song literally made my smile bigger and bigger throughout the song man
The beat and the music was just incredible I loved the instrumental version of the song
This song was one of the best parts of the concert especially when the music stopped and he let the crowd sing the last chorus and he came back in to end it with the “noooo”
You know the song is lit when Jon puts them glasses on! 🔥😎🔥
After Hours is one of my fav tracks of the album together with Blinding Lights and Hardest to Love. Sooo beautiful. I'm glad I found out about The Weeknd lately, his music is awesome.
I opened Spotify and first thing I saw was the track length.... Saw it was 6 min.... Knew it would be a masterpiece.
I’ve never in my life heard a production this good I honestly feel it’s the greatest production piece that exists it’s just so mind blowing good it’s a masterpiece✨
I had the exact same reaction lol abel has that wow factor that separates him from everybody else
since AHTD tour the song after hour became one of my favorite weeknd song
In live it was one the best track I agree 😎🔥🔥
Exactly my reaction when I first heard it. I was speechless grateful for going back to that RB&B and melancholy rhythm.
Blinding Lights, In Your Eyes, Heartless, and this… man i can’t believe the level. Save Your Tears for that matter too but those four are just yeah… i don’t have words to this day.
Faith too
I’ve been waiting all morning for this lol
I had the exact same reaction as you when I first heard the song in my car, volume all the way up , driving. just puts you in this mood I can’t seem to explain
The way the beat addition hits him at 3:18 is perfect
