The Weeknd Hot New Music 2015: 'Often' Singer Drops Kanye West-Produced 'Where You Belong' Off the 'Fifty Shades of Grey' Movie Soundtrack [Listen]
After teasing fans with a snippet last week, The Weeknd finally released the full version of "Where You Belong" on Thursday.
The Toronto-native artist's sultry mid-tempo song is set to be featured on the motion picture soundtrack to highly anticipated film adaptation of erotic romance novel "Fifty Shades of Grey," written by E.L. James.
"I feel the blood rushin' throughout ya body / You see the scars painted over my skin," he opens the dark, synth-heavy ballad. "I'm always numb to the topic of loving / I fell in love with the subject of sin."
The sensual track is produced by Kanye West collaborator and Houston rap veteran Mike Dean.
The R&B crooner continues to offer his echoing vocals, singing about being in a sexual relationship with his special lady.
"I don't have to remind you / It's my need to confine you / I see your face every time I'm with somebody else / Can't you see that I want you? (Put your feelings behind you)," The Weeknd sings.
The song then transitions into a greater sound with an electric guitar paired with hi-hats before ending.
"Where You Belong" marks Abel Tesfaye's second contribution to the upcoming soundtrack, following the release of his Stephan Moccio-produced seductive waltz "Earned It" in December 2014.
"You know our love would be tragic / So you don't pay it, don't pay it no mind," he croons on the track.
