"Wake Me Up" is a song by Canadian singer-songwriter the Weeknd and French musical duo Justice.
It was released through XO and Republic Records from the Weeknd's sixth studio album, Hurry Up Tomorrow, on January 31, 2025.
Roisin O'Connor of The Independent saw the song as "a scene-setting moment for what, it soon emerges, is the Canadian artist's most ambitious project to date – a feature film-length album that supposedly serves as the final chapter for his enigmatic alter ego The Weeknd".
[2][3] Writing for Clash, Robin Murray described "Wake Me Up" as "a stellar opener" from Hurry Up Tomorrow.
[4] In contrast, Neil McCormick, Andrew Perry, and Poppie Platt described the song as a "doomy opening".
