The Weeknd's New Song 'I Can't Feel My Face' Leaks: Max Martin Produced Track Has an Infectious Groove

If love has ever made you feel a little numb, then The Weeknd has a new bop for you. Today (May 26), a new song from the "Earned It" singer's next studio album has leaked. With the help of Max Martin, The Weeknd channels some heavy Michael Jackson vibes on "I Can't Feel My Face."

Rolling with a deep synth line for the bass to carry it along, "I Can't Feel My Face" brings together the Martin sensibility of catchy-as-hell pop with The Weeknd's preference for bringing PBR&B into the equation.

Responsible for such recent hits as "Shake It Off," "Bang Bang" and "Problem," Martin brings an earworm quality to the chorus, with the kind of grooving chant that fans will be dancing to and singing along with for a long time.

"She told me don't worry about it / She told me don't worry no more / She told me don't worry about it / We don't ever have to be alone / I can't feel my face when I'm with you / But I love it, but I love it," The Weeknd sings in the chorus, giving into the retro vibes and feeling totally and completely in love.

"I Can't Feel My Face" is rumored to be the lead single off The Weeknd's forthcoming sophomore album. Other clips from the new record have leaked as well, including "In the Night" and a snippet of "In the '90s."
