If you had anything at all to do with Beyoncé's Lemonade, it's appropriate to remind people of that fact in your new banger.

On the Weeknd's synth-heavy new single, "False Alarm," he calls back to his Queen Bey collaboration, "6 Inch," as he alternates between singing and screaming about yet another mysterious woman. Also cocaine, duh.

The single comes just ahead of his gig on Saturday Night Live this weekend (with three E's) so he'll likely perform it along with the title track of his forthcoming album, Starboy, on the show.
