The Weeknd takes ‘Hong Kong’ to the streets with new music video!

The Weeknd has released the official music video for ‘Hong Kong’, his collaboration with Cantopop icon Faye Wong, following a surprise release that has made waves across China. The track has quickly gained traction on the country’s leading music streaming platforms, setting records since arriving on 31 October.

The collaboration brings together two major names from different corners of the global music scene, with Faye Wong adding her distinctive vocals to The Weeknd’s atmospheric sound. The release also features cover artwork photographed by renowned cinematographer Christopher Doyle, giving the single a visual identity rooted in Hong Kong.

‘Hong Kong’ first made its live debut on 24 October, opening The Weeknd’s four-show run at Kai Tak Stadium. The performances marked a significant moment in his relationship with the city, with the track now receiving a further spotlight through its accompanying visuals.

Directed by Evan Larsen, the new music video stars Chinese supermodel Ming Xi and was filmed across locations including Mong Kok and Hong Kong Island. Bringing the city into focus, the visuals provide a fitting backdrop for a collaboration that places Hong Kong culture at the centre of the release.

The video arrives as The Weeknd brings the Asia dates of his After Hours Til Dawn Stadium Tour to a close. Across 176 shows in 67 cities, 30 countries and five continents, the record-breaking run has sold more than nine million tickets and grossed over $1.3 billion, making it the highest-grossing tour by a male artist in history.

With ‘Hong Kong’ continuing to make an impact across China, the release adds another milestone to an already remarkable run for The Weeknd.
