The Weeknd has released the music video for “Baptized in Fear,” a haunting, introspective visual directed by Moosaje. Set in a dreamlike purgatory, the video explores his struggle with inner demons and the fight for rebirth, ending with powerful symbolism that invites open interpretation.
The track, written during the scoring of Hurry Up Tomorrow, mirrors a striking sleep paralysis scene from the film. Hurry Up Tomorrow, now available on Premium Video on Demand, stars The Weeknd, Jenna Ortega, and Barry Keoghan. Directed by Trey Edward Shults, the film is a hallucinatory journey through fame, identity, and self-destruction, featuring original music by The Weeknd.
The release follows the launch of his After Hours Til Dawn stadium tour, which began with three sold-out shows at Metlife Stadium. The tour features dramatic visuals, special guests Mike Dean and Playboi Carti, and a mix of new tracks and iconic hits, marking another bold chapter in The Weeknd’s ever-evolving artistry.
