The Hills was released by The Weeknd in 2015 as a single from Beauty Behind the Madness, becoming one of his darkest and most recognisable hits. Years later, fan-made slowed versions began circulating online, part of a wider trend of slowing popular songs to emphasise their mood and vocals. This version follows that style, keeping the original melody while stretching its tempo. It remains popular with editors who want a familiar song that already carries a late-night, cinematic feeling without needing a full track.
