It has been speculated that on The Weeknd’s new album Dawn FM, he sings about his reported relationship with Angelina Jolie on “Here We Go… Again.” While that’s all just hearsay at this point, what’s not a rumor is that he name-drops Scream actress Neve Campbell on the tune, as he sings, “My new girl, she a movie star / I loved her right, make her scream like Neve Campbell.” When Campbell first caught wind of the shout-out, though, she didn’t exactly know what was going on.

Campbell stopped by The Late Late Show earlier this week and James Corden asked her about the Dawn FM mention. After saying it’s “pretty crazy,” she continued, “At first, my publicist told me and she was like, ‘The Weeknd.’ I said, ‘Wait, which weekend, last weekend?’ I had no idea what she was talking about. Then I realized, ‘Oh, the guy who played at the Super Bowl, that guy!’”

Corden responded, “I can only think he’ll be really disappointed if he knows that you described him as the guy from the Super Bowl, given he’s arguably one of the biggest and best-selling artists of his generation.” Through laughter, Campbell said, “I know, I know! I’m just so bad with pop culture.”

For months now, it has been rumored that The Weeknd and Angelina Jolie are romantically involved, ever since the pair was spotted going out to dinner back in July. Jolie stoked those flames in the eyes of some when she expertly avoided a question about The Weeknd during an October interview. Now, though, fans think The Weeknd is directly addressing the topic on his new album Dawn FM, as one lyric from the record is being interpreted as being about his supposed love interest.

On “Here We Go… Again,” he sings, “My new girl, she a movie star / I loved her right, make her scream like Neve Campbell / But when I make her laugh, swear it cures my depressin’ thoughts / ‘Cause baby girl, she a movie star.”

After the album’s release, fans took to Twitter to share their thoughts about those words, with plenty of them believing that it essentially confirms a Weeknd/Jolie relationship.

Dawn FM has only been out for a few hours now, but fans have already found plenty of elements to explore. Aside from the Jolie angle, The Weeknd also gives out a phone number on the album, which turns out to be real and not connected to the artist at all.

The Weeknd And Tyler The Creator Find Themselves In Turmoil On ‘Here We Go… Again’

Finally, after months of hinting at a new album on the way and teases that warned “a dawn is coming,” The Weeknd has arrived with his latest body of work, Dawn FM. The Weeknd described the album: “Picture the album being like the listener is dead,” he said. “And they’re stuck in this purgatory state, which I always imagined would be like being stuck in traffic waiting to reach the light at the end of the tunnel.” He added, “it could feel celebratory, could feel bleak, however, you want to make it feel.”

You can now explore these possible feelings now that the album is here. Dawn FM’s guest acts include, among others, Tyler The Creator, who joins forces with The Weeknd for the first collaborations of their respective careers on “Here We Go… Again.” The Weeknd begins the song by celebrating his recent wins like performing at the Super Bowl Halftime Show in 2021. Despite the highlights, he touches on the downfalls of love and having to experience it multiple times, while Tyler echoes those thoughts on through his own verse.

The Weeknd and Tyler The Creator’s collaboration comes after the former shared his desire to work with Tyler last spring. “I got mad love for Tyler, the Creator, and what he’s doing right now. Tyler is funny, man,” The Weeknd said during an interview with GQ. The singer added, “He’s somebody that I really admire because he wears his feelings on his sleeve.”

Dawn FM checks in at 16 songs with additional features from Jim Carrey, Quincy Jones, Lil Wayne, and Oneohtrix Point Never.
