The singer's "Take My Breath" video is set to highlight Team USA athletes Dalilah Muhammad, Athing Mu, Gabby Thomas, and L'OFFICIEL digital coverstar Sydney McLaughlin.
Music superstar The Weeknd releases a short teaser for his upcoming single "Take My Breath." Posted on the singer's social media platforms, the short video features the energetic song and also highlights the boundary-breaking achievements of the United States' Tokyo Olympic track team—Sydney McLaughlin, Dalilah Muhammad, Athing Mu, and Gabby Thomas.
The teaser highlights the athletic ability of the four athletes, showing them both excelling at their sport and also stating what they admire about their teammates. "When I hear the name Syndey McLaughlin, I think competitor," Thomas says of her colleague and L'OFFICIEL's July 2021 digital coverstar. "We wouldn't have a world record if it wasn't the two of us competing," McLaughlin remarks about Thomas in the video.
Coinciding with the release of the teaser, The Weeknd wiped his Instagram account which currently only has posts promoting his newest single. "Take My Breath" will be released on Friday, August 6.
