The Weeknd has fuelled speculation of another collaboration with Ariana Grande after sharing a cryptic social media post referencing their past hits.

The Canadian singer, whose real name is Abel Tesfaye, reposted content from an Instagram account fans believe to be his finsta, @gene.hackerman. 

The account shared a post highlighting the pair’s four previous collaborations, "Love Me Harder", "Off the Table", "Save Your Tears" and the "Die For You" remix. Four collision emojis accompanied the song titles, followed by an ellipsis and an additional emoji, prompting fans to speculate that a fifth track could be forthcoming.

“Four masterpieces already, and a fifth one on the way? We are truly blessed. Their vocals together are pure magic,” one fan wrote on X.

Another commented, “They need to stop teasing and just give us the joint album at this point. The chemistry is insane.”

Some fans suggested the duo could be preparing a FIFA World Cup anthem, with the tournament just months away. Others noted that the post may simply mark the third anniversary of "Die For You", originally released on February 24, 2023.

Their previous collaborations, including "Save Your Tears", "Die For You" and "Love Me Harder", have each surpassed one billion Spotify streams, reinforcing anticipation around a potential new release.
