The song was initially a moderate success, achieving a peak within the top 50 of the US Billboard Hot 100. In 2022, the song experienced a resurgence in popularity due to the online social media application TikTok. The song thereafter impacted US contemporary hit radio and peaked at number six on the Hot 100. On February 24, 2023, the Weeknd released a remix of "Die for You" with American singer-songwriter Ariana Grande, which was included on the deluxe edition of Starboy. The remix propelled the song to number one on the Hot 100, marking both artists' seventh number-one single on the chart. The remix also reached a new peak at number two on the Billboard Global 200 and the Canadian Hot 100. According to the International Federation of the Phonographic Industry (IFPI), the remix was the fourth best-selling global single of 2023, earning 1.78 billion subscription streams equivalents globally.

Background and release

In a 2016 interview with Zane Lowe of Beats 1 Radio, the Weeknd said that "Die for You" was the last song to finish for his album Starboy and was completed merely a week before the album dropped. [2] It was one of the tracks on the album to be previewed before its release as part of the 12-minute-long short film Mania, released on November 23. [3] [4] The song was officially released on November 25, 2016, as an album track. [5]

"Die for You" received early airplay from urban contemporary and urban adult contemporary radio in August 2017. [6] It was officially serviced to US rhythmic contemporary radio on September 19, 2017, as the sixth single from Starboy in the United States. [7] [8] The song was also scheduled to be sent to US contemporary hit radio on December 5, but its release to the format in the country was cancelled for unknown reasons. [9] Following its release as a single in North America, the song charted modestly across various Billboard component charts and became a moderate Canadian hit. "Die for You" would later then be included on the track list of the Weeknd's second greatest hits album, The Highlights , which was released on February 5, 2021. [10]

After a resurgence in popularity due to increased usage on the video-sharing app TikTok in September 2021, its official music video was released on November 25, 2021, alongside standalone digital release on Apple Music with its own artwork. [11] As a result, the song would begin receiving contemporary hit radio airplay in early August 2022, following its initial cancellation from the release in 2017. [12] In February 2023, the Weeknd uploaded a live performance video of the song from his After Hours til Dawn Tour to promote his HBO concert special the Weeknd: Live at SoFi Stadium. [13] A live version of the song from his performance at SoFi Stadium was later released to digital stores and streaming platforms in March 2023 with the release of his first live album Live at SoFi Stadium . [14]

Composition and lyrics

The song's sheet music, published by Sony/ATV Music Publishing at musicnotes.com, shows that "Die for You" is written in the key of C♯ minor and follows a tempo of 72 beats per minute. The vocals in the song span from the low note of C♯4 to the high note of C♯6. [15]

In an interview with Zane Lowe, the Weeknd stated that "Die for You" was the final song finished for Starboy, and that it was difficult to write, specifically its lyrics. [16]

Critical reception

Mosi Reeves of Rolling Stone said that the song "is a euphoric slow jam where he finally summons the poetic sincerity he mined so easily in the past." [17] Christopher Hooton of The Independent said that the song "has a tragic ecstasy to it befitting an end of the world party that happens to fall on New Years’ Eve." [18] Larry Bartleet of NME called it "banal, forgettable fluff". [19]

Commercial performance

In the United States, "Die for You" peaked at number 43 on the Billboard Hot 100 and charted for three weeks during its original run. Additionally, the song reached number 19 on the Hot R&B/Hip-Hop Songs chart. In Canada, the song peaked at number 35 on the Canadian Hot 100 and charted for 20 weeks. [20]

In late 2021 and throughout 2022, "Die for You" saw an increase in consumption as the song went viral on the social media platform TikTok alongside fellow album track "Stargirl Interlude". [21] [22] This increase in streaming and sales led to the song's parent album to re-enter the top 40 on the Billboard 200 chart. [23] It also led to the song entering the top 40 of multiple single charts across Asia and Oceania, with the song additionally reaching number 19 on the Billboard Global 200 chart and re-entering the Billboard Hot 100, peaking at number six. [24] [25] On February 6, 2023, "Die for You" topped the US Radio Songs chart, over six years after its arrival on Starboy. On the same day, it also reached number one on the mainstream top 40-based US Pop Airplay chart. On both charts, "Die for You" stayed at the top for two weeks. [26]

Use in media

"Die for You" was featured in the second season of the HBO comedy-drama television series Insecure . [27] [28] Due to its appearance in the show, the song led the THR's Top TV Songs Chart in August 2017. [29]

Music video

On November 25, 2021, to celebrate the five-year anniversary of Starboy's release, the Weeknd surprise-released the music video for "Die for You", directed by Christian Breslauer. [30]

The video pays homage to the science fiction horror television series Stranger Things (2016) and the science fiction film E.T. the Extra-Terrestrial (1982). [31]
