"Without a Warning" (originally titled "The Crowd") is a song by Canadian singer-songwriter The Weeknd. It was released on January 31, 2025 as one of the tracks from the artist's sixth studio album, Hurry Up Tomorrow.
Release[]
Tesfaye performed the song live during his September 7, 2024 one-night-only in São Paulo, Brazil, and later again during the Australian shows of the After Hours Til Dawn Stadium Tour.[1][2] Its title was leaked through a picture of the set list emerging online.[3] However, this title is featured only on the "First Pressing" edition. For the final release, it was changed into "Without a Warning".
Lyrics[]
[Verse 1: The Weeknd]
Take me to a time
When I was young
And my heart could take the drugs and heartache without loss
But now my bones are frail
And my voice fails
And my tears fall without a warning either way
[Chorus: The Weeknd]
The crowd will scream, the crowd will scream my name
Even when the world wants me to fail
The crowd will scream, the crowd will scream my name
Woah, woah
And the crowd will feel, the crowd will feel my pain
Hope you'll love me 'til my final day
Even if it was in vain
Leave my guts all on the stage
[Interlude: The Weeknd & The Nu'rons]
It's you I'm thinking of
Woah-woah
Teardrops come without a warning
[Verse 2: The Weeknd]
Oh, yeah
I don't supposе tomorrow's coming, coming
I'ma follow through this time so the press might bе loving
I'm stuck in a cycle, just wanna feel life from the morning
I should've been sober, but I can't afford to be boring
Trivia[]
- The song is speculated to reference Tesfaye losing his voice during one of the 2022 shows of After Hours Til Dawn, which caused the concert to be cancelled midway through.[4] This was overblown out of proportion and caused some controversy online.
