The Weeknd’s “Out of Time” video starts with him singing his song in karaoke form while dating Squid Game star Jung Ho-yeon.
The duo appears to be on a rom-com date night while bringing a karaoke machine to an elevator, a hotel bar, and a lobby where the pair run around and trip over cords. But then the ’80s-inspired beats of “Out of Time” slow down to a crawl as the video devolves into something much more sinister.
As the video turns dark Jim Carrey appears in what looks like s parody of Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind and delivers an eerie voice-over that alludes to wiping the Weeknd’s memories.
The former superstar comedian performs surgery on the singer’s face in a sterile hotel room and puts a mask over him before subtly name-dropping “103.5 Dawn FM,” the title and concept of the Weeknd’s recent studio album released on January 7. The LP is loaded with spoken-word appearances from Carrey, Quincy Jones, and Josh Safdie.
