"Save your Tears" is a record by Canadian singer The Weeknd from his fourth studio album After Hours (2020)[1]
Critical reception
[edit]Billboard Magazine hailed the song as the best track on his new album, “ Although ‘Save Your Tears’ is one of the most pop-driven songs on the album, The Weeknd doesn’t hold back when it comes to the rather cold nature he usually finds himself adopting when it comes to his lovers. The production remains upbeat and steady the entire time, thanks to work from Max Martin, Oscar Holter, DaHeala, and The Weeknd himself, combining the best of his old content and some newer, more mainstream-driven sounds“. [2] Craig Jenkins of Vulture.com raved, “The Weeknd perfects the kitschy ’80s genre experiment with Save Your Tears, a gutting breakup tune gorgeous and simple enough to stand alongside peak ’80s pop like the Cars’ “You Might Think” (and slick enough to swipe a bit of melody from Wham!’s “Everything She Wants” in the chorus). The piece concocts sound informed by both trap and dance music, encased in dense atmospherics, and heavy on crisp, bright keys. [3]
