According to Pitchfork, The Weeknd, real name Abel Tesfaye, described Dawn FM Experience as "a purgatory otherworld where live performance, theater, and performance art collide for a night out at the club."

The project, set for release on Prime Video this weekend, was created by Tesfaye, La Mar C. Taylor and director Micah Bickham.

Dawn FM Experience will also be released as an eight-track live EP on Amazon Music.
