Background and composition
The Weeknd first revealed a demo of the song through his radio show, Memento Mori, stating the demo was recorded during the sessions for his 2013 debut studio album, Kiss Land.[1] During a show in Warsaw, Poland, for his
After Hours til Dawn Tour on August 9, 2023, the Weeknd previewed the track, stating it would be his "last feature – in my career".[3]
On the song, all four artists have their own verses, with Uproxx's Alex Gonzalez calling the Weeknd's lyrics on the chorus an "empowering farewell", in which he claims: "Another one of me won't come around again".[4] The song features a drum sample from the English drummer
Phil Collins' 1981 single, "
In the Air Tonight".[5]
Music video
The official music video for "Another One of Me", directed by James Larese was released along with the song and album on September 15, 2023.[6] The Weeknd, French Montana, and 21 Savage appear in a sci-fi-inspired background filled with glass pieces in the air and geometric statues with a dystopian look and it calms down as Diddy enters through the heavens at the end.[7]
