Singer The Weeknd has teased his fans of his upcoming song for James Cameron’s sci-fi adventure sequel ‘Avatar The Way of Water’.
Through The Weeknd’s Twitter account, the singer revealed that the hugely-expensive sequel will feature his brand-new song.
This is certainly not the first time that The Weeknd has contributed to a film’s soundtrack. Notably, he was Oscar-nominated for his single, “Earned It,” which appeared in Fifty Shades of Grey.
Additionally, The Weeknd is the artist behind “Devil May Cry,” which could be heard in The Hunger Games: Catching Fire. Avatar: The Way of Water will premiere in theaters worldwide on December 16th.
The Weeknd went from being an underground artist to have a few hits to being one of the most famous musicians alive. During a 2021 interview with Billboard, XO Records’ co-founder La Mar C. Taylor discussed the singer’s evolution.

‘Blinding Lights’ became the biggest hit of all time, making it bigger than ‘Hey Jude’. He revealed his feelings about this. “[There were] songs that transcended into pop culture, like ‘The Hills’,” he said. “But by the time ‘Blinding Lights’ happened, I was 10 years into my career and established as a music figure in the industry already. So I’m glad ‘Blinding Lights’ happened when it happened as opposed to it being the first single I’ve ever dropped. That’d be scary for me,” he added.
He discussed the success of the song. “I don’t think [the success of ‘Blinding Lights’] has hit me yet,” he said. “I try not to dwell on it too much. I just count my blessings, and I’m just grateful,” he said.
