The Weeknd is the definition of a legend, this song is pure gold

I prefer this over the radio edit!! WOW!! And the way that BASS drops...wooohoo!

The first 90 seconds and the long part that starts at 3:30 are a music producer’s paradise. So so good. Long live Synthwave

Definitely so much better than the radio version!!!!

Just when you thought it coulnd't get any better 🙏

so glad he's bringing back the 80s sound and aesthetic

when he preforms this it’s gonna be so fucking sick

If you haven’t, do yourself a favor and listen to this with headphones. The Weeknd’s production is just unmatchable.

Cred to Max Martin and his team for the production! Great song!

This the best version just cuz he made that baseline part from the teaser longer🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

The section from 3:30-4:40, with the bass coming in.. and Abel breathing in circles between my ears (on headphones)... I love it!! :-)

If Daft Punk hadn’t retired, maybe just maybe, this would have been another amazing collaboration!

Abel is a whole vibe, he can't make a bad song. ♡

This version is exactly what I wanted. The weeknd letting the beat go on further as usual.

I’m so glad I missed this 5 months ago. My reaction to hearing the extended version for the first time along with the How Do I Make You Love Me transition was beyond mind blowing.

After Hours was his Thriller, The Dawn will be his Bad.

I LOVE THAT BASS! This song just did the impossible and became even better! ❌⭕️🌅

The Weeknd is the best singer of our generation

I'm Japanese, and listening to The Weeknd's song makes me feel better!

The short version wasn’t long enough, this is just perfect! Masterpiece!

*Its unhealthy the amount of times I’ve listened to the new song*

I do love that the weeknd is commiting to a sound, not to say that he hasnt before or he wont change in the future, but a lot of artists will drop an album with a certain asthetic and move on and it seems like abel really is sticking with the 80s asthetic, which I love

Once every few decades art, talent and pop intersect in a very special way. It usually ends bad for the artist, with the industry crushing the soul of the person, this guy appears to be attempting to sing his way through it. Lets see what happens...

I played this and my mom started singing “I feel loved” by Donna Summer. Great job at bringing back the 80s

this is the album version without a doubt

I ADORE what he is doing with music. he's bringing back a lot of the sounds of the 80s and 90s, but with a very obvious digital and modern feel to it. Also, anybody that says they can't hear a little bit of thriller in this is lying. I love this song/album (and yes, I know it has yet to come out yet, or even be discussed, but I'm here for it) and probably this man all around.

I appreciate that he respects and uses classic 1980's samples. He is doing the same thing as Bruno Mars and keeping a genre of music alive. 80's pop and funk respectively.

Let's take a moment to appreciate the cover photo here, it has such an 80's vibe, and the song playing along with it is just magnificent

Abel doesn't need a grammy, he's beyond these primitive human awards anyway...

This just elevates the original. ON REPEAT.

You can tell how Daft Punk has inspired Abel in so many ways especially in his songs, real legends XO

He is challenging himself to take his craft to the next level. Like talk talk, Bowie, radiohead did......

this dude really topped the song less than a week after its release

This vibe is just outta in this world.

so glad they made an extended cut. That synth and bass is wild! very Boys Noize/ Justice vibes.

The extended version really takes my breath away 🔥🔥🔥

This man is dedicated to his art, wow. Can't wait to see what he brings to the table with the album 😳

Wow he actually dropped the extended version himself let's go. Reminder that the Weeknd is a true chad.

The Weeknd is the incarnation of RnB. This extended version is unprecedentedly perfect

Guys I'm nearly 40 years old and I know only Abel's music from this decade. I love it! I'm listening all the time and dancing if nobody can see me. LOL.

i'm so glad that the music industry has finally figured out that they can put extended versions of songs on streaming platforms to boost the streaming numbers... just like in the 70s and 80s with 12" mixes. all the better for me, i love 5+ minute long songs!!!

This is the definitive version of this song. Feels more complete than the video version.

This has me thinking Daft Punk all the way through. The bass at the beginning reminds me of Tron, then the main song has bits of Instant Crush and Pharrel Williams vibes.

Speaking of MJ, he must be really proud lookin down and seeing his legacy being built upon, adapted and adopted by furure generations. I've been going thru his catalog lately, and I've come to the conclusion that when it comes to hit songs, The Weeknd is only second to one. These arent just generic radio friendly popcorn kernels, theyre nuggets of pure quality gold.🥳

True fact: The Weeknd vocals aren't a joke. His vocals are a masterpiece.

I thought it was good already, man it just got even better.

When I thought this song couldn't get any better, Abel just blows away my expectations and doubts. He really only knows how to make hits, literally the artist of our generation

Tremendous strength and addictive sound ... soul of the 80's

Oh my God, this just brings "Odd Look" back into memory and makes me want nothing more than for Kavinsky to make an appearance on this next album...

The layers in this song. It’s like a beautiful onion. Shrek would love it

This album is about to be an absolute banger.

Secrets has one of my favorite intros,i just can't stop repeating it,and this extended version is like another Secrets

I WISH HE DID A VERSE OVER THE BRIDGE PART. AYOOOO HE EXTENDED THE BRIDGE PART AT THE BEGINNING!!!! LETS FUCKING GOOOO!!!

AN EXTENDED VER WAS VERY MUCH NEEDED AND THIS IS A BANGER everybody say thank u Abel

The Weeknd is one of few artists I know that writes all of his own songs and produces or helps produce at least most of them. This one he got help from the one and only Max Martin.

Just like the 70s there's always an extended version of every disco song. Nowadays we need more retro inspired songs n from other artists too✋

Anybody else obsessed with the beat drop each time he says “take my breath” on the chorus? I find myself randomly singing that part a lot lol

Now we're talking! Much better than the shorter version. Earlier I was disappointed that the full beats sampled in the teaser weren't present in the song, but now it is!

The Weeknd is the best artist in the whole world time space multiverse whatsoever, whilst he is alive & probably even much more. He is a living legend.

I love the weeknds 80s vibe. He has become one of my favorite artists.

People need to know more about synth, Its just pure greatness. Even from 40 years or more it cant be beaten.

The most Abel thing to do is make an extra long song 😍😍😍😍

Just when we were saving our tears while being blinded by the lights, the Weeknd comes in to take our breath.. GOAT♥️♥️♥️

103.5 Dawn FM 🌅📻

STARBOY + DISCO = PURE HEAT.

I grew up in the 80s and just love this sound. THE WEEKEND is a breath of fresh air, thankyou.

I appreciate him for putting this extended one on the album

this guy is sure on the way of becoming a legend

Everyone: ”How many versions of Take My Breath will we get?” The Weeknd: ”Yes”

It feels crazy to listen the beggining

He can literally just say take my breath with a beat for 5:00 minutes and it would be the dopest song !!! That’s how good of an artist he is

The Weeknd really doesn’t make a bad song, every one is a hit.

How does he do it every damn time

Extended version lets the song breath more. Way better then the normal/radio edit version! TAKE MY BREATH!!!

I’m so happy he decided to put this extended version in *Dawn FM*

Really glad he released this version. My favourite part was the warbly voice in the intro and bridge

This is the version he should have released in the first place. Immense. We are witness to greatness. Keep em coming Abel.

This extended version is great.

I don't know why this song didn't reach no 1 on Billboard 100. The Weekd and Martin are the past, the present and the future.

And the weeknd pulled it off AGAIN he never disappoints us 😩 time to listen to the extended version all nigh 😩😩😩

The Weeknd is not just making masterpieces, he is saving lives

Dude this shit just hits different then the regular version. I've been bumping this nonstop for weeks now.

The extended intro of this is some of the best music to come out in the last five years. Not even kidding

The Weeknd Be Like: This song is good, but let's improve it just because.

you know it’s going to be a hit song when the extended version comes out 😎

The weeknd = Legend

this man has no bad song

Definitely the best version, 80's beat more clear and much better than in original

was pretty disappointed that the part around 1:04 was teased in the trailers but wasn’t in the original edition but now it is so once again, thank you Abel for understanding your fan base and giving us what we want

Perfect

Abel can't get the daft punk out of him. And I love it.

I love that artist are releasing multiple versions.

something about that synth… and the BASS… just lights up my entire body and feels like every single one of my neurons are all firing off like damn pistons. i am obsessed. your work with daft punk and gesaffa (arguably my favorite producers of all time, so maybe i’m biased lol) changed your music for the better and i am so fucking grateful for it. too excited for this new album. you weld french touch and rnb in a way like no other. you ARE music, abel!!!

The best song in the world.

That's what I need. The Weeknd always understands his fans!
