The Grammy winner premiered the track Tuesday night during the seventh episode of his Beats 1 radio show, Memento Mori.

About Heartless
Heartless is a classic Abel, as it leans more into the R&B landscape with a healthy dose of hedonistic lyrics about drugs, sex, and partying. But, it's not exactly braggadocios cut, as The Weeknd suggests he's not proud of this kind of lifestyle. The lyrics, “Cause I'm heartless, and I'm back to my ways 'cause I'm heartless, …said I'm heartless/Tryin' to be a better man, but I'm heartless”, prove so.
Heartless is expected to appear on the long-awaited follow-up to 2016's Starboy. The Weeknd has remained relatively tight-lipped about his fourth studio album but suggested his next chapter was going to be his biggest one yet. The Weeknd has yet to announce the project's official drop date, but his new single suggests it's right around the corner.
