My Dear Melancholy
My Dear Melancholy (stylized as My Dear Melancholy,) is an EP by the Canadian singer-songwriter the Weeknd, released on March 30, 2018, through XO and Republic Records. Primarily produced by Frank Dukes, who serves as executive producer alongside the Weeknd, it features contributions from Gesaffelstein, Mike Will Made It, DaHeala, Skrillex, and Daft Punk's Guy-Manuel de Homem-Christo, among others.
My Dear Melancholy is described as a return to the darker style of the Weeknd's earlier work, evident in Trilogy (2012) and Kiss Land (2013). The EP was supported by the single "Call Out My Name", which peaked at No. 4 on the US Billboard Hot 100. It received generally favourable reviews and debuted at No. 1 on the US Billboard 200.
Prior to releasing My Dear Melancholy, the Weeknd had an entire album written and completed, "which wasn't melancholy at all because it was a different time in my life", he told Time in 2018. The effort was scrapped, however.
On March 3, 2018, American rapper Travis Scott teased a new project by the Weeknd on Twitter, referring to it as "scary" and comparing it to when he "first heard" the latter's music. Later that month, Tesfaye suggested that he was in the finishing stages of completing new work, sharing multiple silent videos on Instagram of a recording studio, with the caption "mastering". This followed several months of in-studio pictures shared on the platform.
On February 22, Tesfaye shared an image of a title, written on a notepad.
On March 28, he hinted at the release of a new album, posting a screenshot of a text-message conversation between creative director La Mar Taylor and himself, concerning whether or not they should "drop [a new project on] Friday". The next day, he announced it would be released that night, sharing its cover art and title.
Following the EP's release, vertically orientated music videos for "Call Out My Name" and "Try Me" were released exclusively through Spotify.
During an interview with GQ in 2021, the Weeknd said of the EP, "I made it in like three weeks. I knew exactly what I wanted to say. I knew how I wanted it to sound—and that was it."
