The Weeknd & Doja Cat Get Real with “In Your Eyes” Remix Music Video
Back in May, The Weeknd shared his remix of “In Your Eyes” featuring Doja Cat. On his new album After Hours, “In Your Eyes” is a standout; it also got an impactful music video a few months ago. Today, the remix with Doja Cat comes with a new music video of its own.
From its very first notes, “In Your Eyes” is an infectious banger with ’80s flair. Over energetic, deceptively upbeat music, The Weeknd sings of issues with a romantic partner. He pretends not to notice her lies and pains, just as he tries to hide his own mistakes and regrets. The song grows even better when a saxophone – played by Tomas Jannson – appears in the bridge and again after the last chorus.
The remix is sonically mostly the same as the album version. However, here, Doja Cat takes on the second verse, flipping The Weeknd’s words around to come from the woman’s perspective. Her singing is high and angelic, but then she raps before the second chorus, serving a raspier sound.
For the music video, The Weeknd and Doja Cat are animated and thrown into a world styled like a video game. They’re in a city of flashing neon-lit billboards – something they make fun of with a sign advertising “Endless Consumption.” They also point to the ongoing tragedies of police brutality against BIPOC by labeling a cop car as KKKPD. We’re here for the social and political commentary; it adds to the already stellar music and video.
