According to NME, the ASCAP repository has listed "Blinding Lights" as a song by The Weeknd, and reveals it's co-written and co-produced by The Weeknd, Belly, and longtime producer DaHeala.

Back in August, The Weeknd, real name Abel Tesfaye, revealed that he was in "album mode full effect".

Although The Weeknd hasn't released a new album since 2016's Starboy, he did release an EP titled My Dear Melancholy last year.

Check back on Friday (29 November) to see if The Weeknd drops "Blinding Lights".
