On Thursday (July 2), The Weeknd shared a video for his "In Your Eyes" remix with Doja Cat. And it's a trip.
The clip sees the singers get digitized in a futuristic cityscape. The vintage future vibe comes complete with raw animation that is reminiscent of early CGI, and as the video progresses it gets even more surreal โ ending with a possible nod to Mario Kart as the duo drives along a winding rainbow road.
The original version of "In Your Eyes" is featured on The Weeknd's latest album, After Hours. During a recent interview with Variety, the R&B star spoke in detail about the track. "When you look deeper into the song, itโs more complex than it seems. Itโs basically about two people who are in love with each other who are just f**king each other over," he explained. "The first verse is from [one] perspective and the second is from the other perspective. Itโs like the way people think the Policeโs 'Every Breath You Take'ย is a love song, and itโs not at all ... This is deeper, but you wanna dance to it and make love to it. Thatโs the trick of it."

The Weeknd has been feeling charitable lately. He recently donated $1 million to COVID-19 relief and $500,000 to Black Lives Matter organizations.
