Critics lauded "Can't Feel My Face", comparing the sound of the song to the works of Michael Jackson; Rolling Stone ranked it as the best song of 2015. It was also nominated for two Grammy Awards: Record of the Year and Best Pop Solo Performance. The song experienced commercial success, peaking at number one on both the US Billboard Hot 100 and the Canadian Hot 100, and was certified diamond by the Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA) for selling more than ten million copies in the country.
Elsewhere, "Can't Feel My Face" peaked at number one in Mexico, New Zealand, Denmark, Ireland and South Africa, and was a top 10 single in other territories, such as Australia, the Netherlands, Norway and the United Kingdom.
Background and composition
edit"Can't Feel My Face" leaked in late May 2015.[4] It was officially released on June 8, 2015, following a performance by the Weeknd at Apple's Worldwide Developers Conference on the same day.[5]
The song is composed in the key of A minor and has a tempo of 108 beats per minute. The vocal range spans from E3 to E5.[6] Multiple sources have interpreted the song to be about cocaine, including a reference by the Weeknd himself in "Reminder": "I just won a new award for a kids show, Talking 'bout a face numbing off a bag of blow".[7][8][9] Musically, Alice Vincent of The Daily Telegraph characterised as "a synth-laden, upbeat pop song",[8] while Andy Kellman of AllMusic described it as "a sleek slice of retro-modern disco-funk".[10]
Critical reception
editThe song received critical acclaim. Brennan Carley of Spin called it "pop perfection", "a thoroughly definitive, all-in jam" and predicted the song would "reach 'Uptown Funk' levels of airplay and ubiquity".[4] Mallory Carra of Bustle called it "the official song of Summer 2015" and wrote that the "song has got it all: Fun, funky, catchy, and it sounds like Michael Jackson."[11] Time's Esther Zuckerman deemed the song a "New Favorite Contender for Song of the Summer" and wrote that the chorus was "infectious".[12] In June 2015, Jason Lipshutz of Billboard named it one of the "10 Best Songs of 2015 (So Far)".[13]
Consequence of Sound compared the sound of the song to Michael Jackson.[14] Complex wrote: "The song has a classic pop feel to it, with The Weeknd channeling a bit of Michael Jackson while crooning over the bouncy, and energetic production from Max Martin".[15] Pitchfork's reviewer Renato Pagnani placed it in the Best New Track category and made the same comparison: "Perhaps recognizing just how dead-on Tesfaye's Michael Jackson impersonation was on his cover of "Dirty Diana", the producers anchor the track with a bassline that could have come from an alternate-dimension "Thriller" produced by New Age composer Vangelis instead of Quincy Jones."[16]
The song ended up on multiple year-end lists, with Rolling Stone naming "Can't Feel My Face" as the best song of 2015: "It was the "oooooh!" that changed everything. That single ecstatic syllable, slipping out just before each chorus, transformed Abel Tesfaye (a.k.a. the Weeknd) from a cult R&B singer to a full-on pop star – just as decisively as a similar yelp of joy marked a new era in Michael Jackson's career when "Don't Stop 'Til You Get Enough" hit 36 years earlier. Max Martin's satin-smooth production helped, too, vaulting "Can't Feel My Face" straight to Number One on the pop charts with Scandinavian efficiency. But Tesfaye's showstopping vocal performance is what makesit an instant classic. He spends the song remaking himself as a pop giant – cleverly disguising his obsession with drugs beneath a metaphor about a dangerously hot fling, and playing down his angst-y tendencies until there's just a hint of existential pain in his lighter-than-air falsetto. By the time the song is over, you'll do anything for another hit."[17] Billboard also picked "Can't Feel My Face" as the best song of 2015 on its year-end critics' picks: "The Weeknd's irresistible, Michael Jackson-esque "Can't Feel My Face" is so perfectly crafted that it's impossible to imagine a world or alternate reality in which this song isn't No. 1. There are enough hooks in this one single for a dozen chart-toppers, but Abel Tesfaye packed them all into three-and-a-half minutes of sheer ecstasy..."[18] Entertainment Weekly also chose it as the best song of the year: "Everybody with any sort of access to a computer, television, or radio has heard that song seven billion times, and yet it still manages to sound bracing and fresh every time. It's a remarkable accomplishment."[19] Stereogum ranked it at number 4 on its "The 50 Best Pop Songs Of 2015" list: "I'm still not convinced Abel Tesfaye will be this generation's Michael Jackson, but he does an extremely good impression."[20] Vulture ranked it at number 8 on its "The 10 Best Songs of 2015" list: "An infectious bassline that trembles like a rubber pencil propels an ex-underground R&B lothario's triumphant transformation from neo-Prince to neo-MJ."[21] MTV placed it on its "Best Songs Of 2015" list: "This was The Weeknd proving that he could hit Michael Jackson pop frequencies, while crafting a chart-topper that’s uniquely his own."[22] Village Voice named "Can't Feel My Face" the third-best single released in 2015 on their annual year-end critics' poll, Pazz & Jop.[23] NME ranked it at number 43 on their "The Best Songs Of The Decade: The 2010s" list: "'Can't Feel My Face' was a bold move for The Weeknd – though not because it took risks musically. This hulking chunk of space-age disco-funk was always destined to top the charts."[24] In 2021, Mixmag placed the song on its "The 30 Best Songs About Cocaine" list.[25]
Chart performance
edit"Can't Feel My Face" debuted at number 24 on the US Billboard Hot 100, making a Hot Shot Debut on the chart; it was the Weeknd's third Hot Shot Debut in a year after his previous singles "The Hills" and "Earned It". It produced first-week digital sales of 93,000 units and garnered 4.2 million US streams and 38 million airplay audiences.[26] In its third week on the chart, the song reached number six on the Hot 100, making it his third top 10 hit, and his second solo top 10 hit. After three weeks at number two, "Can't Feel My Face" ascended to number one on the Hot 100, replacing OMI's "Cheerleader" and becoming the Weeknd's first number-one single on that chart. It spent three non-consecutive weeks in three separate runs at the top of the Billboard Hot 100, becoming the sixth song to achieve this feat, and the first song to do so since Bruno Mars's "Grenade" in 2011. In its third week at number one, "The Hills" reached number two, becoming the first act since The Black Eyed Peas to attain the top two positions on the Hot 100 as a lead artist.[27] The following week, "The Hills" topped the chart, making the Weeknd the first artist since Taylor Swift to replace themselves at the top spot; "Can't Feel My Face" fell to number three. It spent nineteen weeks in the chart's top ten before dropping out on November 21, 2015. As of March 2016, it has sold 2,413,488 copies in the US.[28]
It debuted in Australia on June 20 at number 27.[29] It later peaked at number two on that chart. In New Zealand, the song debuted at number 12 on June 22 and spent four non-consecutive weeks at number two, before reaching number one in its ninth week on the chart.[30] In the United Kingdom, "Can't Feel My Face" debuted at number 34, two weeks after "The Hills" had debuted on the chart. It later peaked at number three, becoming the Weeknd's second top 10 single in the country (after "Earned It" peaked at number four earlier in the year), and was also his highest-charting single in the country at the time.[when?]
Music videos
editThe accompanying music video, directed by Grant Singer, was released on July 29, 2015, on Apple Music. As of 2024, the video has received over one billion views on YouTube, becoming the third most-viewed video by the Weeknd behind "The Hills" and "Starboy".[31] It begins with the Weeknd singing in a bar to an unimpressed audience, with the exception of his love interest (played by Chanel Iman[32]), until a man (played by Rick Wilder, who appeared in "The Hills" video), arrives and sets him on fire. The entire crowd, including the love interest, then stand up and starts to dance. The video ends with the Weeknd running out of the bar, still burning.
Time's reviewer Nolan Feeney wrote that the Weeknd "shines the spotlight on Tesfaye as he delivers a (literally) explosive performance".[33] For Bianca Gracie of Idolator, "the usually-moody singer is refreshingly energetic".[32] Jon Blistein of Rolling Stone deemed the video "simple but riveting".[34] Slava Pastuk of Noisey called the video "a bit corny, but weirdly great?"[35] USA Today's Brian Mansfield wrote: "Like his previous video for The Hills, it's sometimes troubling clip, full of fire and mayhem".[36] Jason Lipshutz of Billboard opined that the video is "certainly a sonic homage to MJ, and watching the Weeknd strut around ablaze is an eery [sic] coincidence".[37] Similarly, Michelle Geslani of Consequence of Sound wrote: "Abel Tesfaye is seen busting a couple of moves—no doubt, again, channeling Michael Jackson".[38] Eric Diep of BET also described the video as an "homage to Michael Jackson", noting similarities in the vocals and dance moves.[39]
An alternate music video was released on September 2, 2021.[40]
