Description:
"Blinding Lights" features a 1980s pop and synth-pop influenced sound, with its catchy chorus and upbeat tempo. The lyrics of the song talk about the thrill of living fast and losing oneself in the moment, in a hedonistic lifestyle. The music video for the song also has a retro feel, with references to popular movies and TV shows from the 1980s. The Weeknd himself described the song as "A nod to the great decade of the 80s." The song has been used in several commercials and TV shows, and has become a cultural phenomenon.
Faced with the success of the song "Blinding Lights", there were many remixes of the sound in order to expand and conquer audiences of other musical genres. I believe that those who most benefited from this movement were the radio stations and YouTube itself. For example, this version of the video is one of the most played tracks on radio stations in Brazil since 2021, thus demonstrating the success of the remixes in gaining popular taste.
