The Weeknd’s highly anticipated fourth album drops this week. So far, he’s released three singles.  “Blinding Lights” is a high energy, 80’s-inspired delight, while “Heartless” is a sorrowful ballad that many have speculated is about his ex-girlfriend, supermodel Bella Hadid. “After Hours,” the album’s title track, has a dark and dramatic feel, with a haunting melody and lyrics to match. While the songs differ from each other, both give us the impression that After Hours will be an impressive record filled with emotional depth.

The Weeknd has provided us with some of our favorite sexy tracks since his debut in 2011. To get ready for the After Hours release on March 20, here are the Weeknd’s five hottest hits to date:

Blinding Lights

The Weeknd’s biggest single release before After Hours is this technopop delight. The beat is quintessentially 80s and the lyrics are hot and heavy. We know what it’s like to feel that we can’t sleep until we can see and hold the person we miss.

Earned It

An obvious inclusion on this list is the Weeknd’s exclusive track from the Fifty Shades of Gray film. The melody of “Earned It” is deliciously dramatic and the lyrics make us long for the sex, love and dedication he sings about.

Call Out My Name

“Call Out My Name” is a standout on the Weeknd’s most recent album My Dear Melancholy and one of his steamiest tracks to date. He shows off his vocal talent as he begs the object of his affection to stay and belong to him.

Wicked Games

The Weeknd’s iconic debut single “Wicked Games” is a silky smooth R&B track that belongs on your bedroom playlist. Its slow and steady beat pairs with his sweet falsetto and very sexy lyrics to create one of the hottest tracks of the 2010s.

The Hills

This single from the Weeknd’s phenomenal sophomore album The Beauty Behind the Madness is a bass-heavy bop that’s bolder than much of his newer work. Lyrically, it dives into the dysfunction of a relationship based on hazy nights out and early morning hookups.
