"Tears in the Club" is a song by English singer-songwriter FKA Twigs featuring Canadian singer-songwriter the Weeknd. It was released on 16 December 2021, as the lead single from the former's first mixtape, Caprisongs (2022).[1] The two artists wrote the song alongside Ali Tamposi and producers Cirkut, Arca, and el Guincho.[2]
"Tears in the Club" leans towards a more contemporary pop sound that strays away from the type of FKA Twigs' regular music, but "maintains the etherealness and distortion for which she's become known".[3] The song has been described as an R&B-pop track,[4] that pairs "a booming dance floor beat and atmospheric synths" with Twigs and the Weeknd belting out lyrics "that are packed with heartache and angst".[5] It interpolates the section of "@@@@@" known as "Phantasy", composed and performed by Arca.[6] Twigs announced the release date of the single alongside a trailer video on 13 December 2021.[7]
A music video for the song premiered on 16 December 2021. It was directed by Amber Grace Johnson. It starts with FKA Twigs dancing in a nightclub with bright lights. Twigs walks down the street crying and is subsequently picked up by a group of dancers.[8] She is then joined by the Weeknd and performs for him in a fish tank, who watches her in tears.[9]
