## Summary

The Weeknd premiered a new song, apparently titled “Hong Kong”, during the opening night of a sold-out four-night run at Kai Tak Stadium. The dramatic ballad samples Faye Wong’s 1993 Cantopop song “Seasonal Wind”, while its accompanying video presents Hong Kong as a tribute to the city’s cinema.

Videographer Evan Larsen said the Weeknd drew inspiration from films including *Chungking Express*, *Fallen Angels*, *A Better Tomorrow* and *Hard-Boiled*. The performance video uses footage of the city, and Larsen said messages from viewers who remember Hong Kong in the 1980s and 1990s showed that the tribute had resonated with them. The Weeknd had also debuted songs reportedly titled “Rio” and “Tokyo” during concerts in those cities.
