"Open Hearts" is a song by Canadian singer-songwriter the Weeknd. It was released through XO and Republic Records as the seventh track from his sixth studio album, Hurry Up Tomorrow, on January 31, 2025. The song was written and produced by the Weeknd himself, Max Martin, and Oscar Holter. It had a limited release through the Apple Music Immersive experience titled The Weeknd: Open Hearts, which was available exclusively on the Apple TV app on the Apple Vision Pro as the first ever music video experience designed exclusively around the product, on November 14, 2024.[3]

Music video

The music video was shot entirely with a 180-degree media format, and is directed by Anton Tammi, who previously directed the music video for its then-lead single "Dancing in the Flames".[4][5][6] It is the first ever exclusive music video released for the Apple Vision Pro and was released on November 14, 2024.[7] The music video features the Weeknd confronting his inner demons in a visually dark and sinister setting, starting with a scene where he's strapped to a gurney in an ambulance. The narrative intensifies as the ambulance crew, depicted with glowing orange eyes, hint at an eerie, otherworldly presence, accompanying a journey that shifts from a desert highway to the streets of Los Angeles. The video culminates with Tesfaye facing a cult-like leader in a room of creatures with glowing eyes, revealing the leader to be a darker version of himself, enhancing the song's themes of struggle and self-confrontation.[8]

The video was then released on YouTube on February 2, 2025.
