The Weeknd is ending his musical collaborations with all artists, except for one he’s holding out hope for. The Grammy-winning singer announced the career decision onstage Tuesday while performing his “After Hours Til Dawn”tour in Warsaw, Poland. “This next song I’m about to perform is an unreleased record.

I haven’t dropped it yet,” Abel Tesfaye told the crowd in a video shared to his social media accounts on Friday.

The song features similar electronic beats to those of his recent albums, After Hours and Dawn FM.  “The final feature… unless daft punk ever get back together,” he captioned the video.
