BuzzJack Music Forum _ Ariana Grande _ Love Me Harder (with The Weeknd) • 3rd Single
Posted by: Jonjo 17th September 2014, 01:37 PM
So according to http://www.popjustice.com/songs/ariana-grande-feat-the-weeknd-love-me-harder/, this is the next single from her album 'My Everything'.
What do you think? Right choice or wrong choice?
---
I'm ecstatic! One of the ultimate highlights for me and a nice change of pace for her.

Leaning towards 'wrong choice', but I haven't really given this one much of a chance. I was all for 'One Last Time' or 'Break Your Heart Right Back'!
I'll give this one further listens and see if it grows!
Posted by: JosephStyles 17th September 2014, 04:23 PM
I *like* it but it's not the right choice at all imo 
One Last Time is screaming out for a release!
Posted by: Liаm 17th September 2014, 04:26 PM
I would have gone for Break Your Heart Right Back, bearing in mind that One Last Time was just the free single of the week on iTunes so I'd leave it for the single after this maybe (it's the best song on the album for sure). But I like this song, I guess it's an ok choice but I can't see it doing that much.
I've only read about it being sent to rhythmic radio in the US so maybe it's just a radio single? Hopefully.

As much as I love 'Break Your Heart Right Back' I don't get the suggestions of it being a good third single - it sounds like a great album track to me. This is far more single worthy, wonderful and a massive grower.
'Be My Baby' next plz.
Posted by: Jack 17th September 2014, 08:52 PM
I do love this, but surprised they are going for it. One Last Time is the obvious singles, but they still could have gone for Break Your Heart Right Back or Hands On Me.

what a wonderful song
melodic and sensual and fantastic production, so nice to hear her tone her pipes down

Impact date for radios is on 30th september

My second favourite from 'My Everything', it has a really gloriously sensual production to it and that really does it for me.
Commercially speaking I haven't got a clue how this will do though.
Posted by: JVSH 18th September 2014, 11:15 PM
It's basically a less aggressive Do What U Want isn't it?
Posted by: ░░░░ 19th September 2014, 01:43 AM
that instrumental! very much so
but a beautifully fall track before we get a rejig for winter (unless rihanna steals her thunder)
Posted by: Conderella 19th September 2014, 03:33 AM
Beyond disappointing. Always expecting better from Abel, and I probably should give up now.
Posted by: HausofKubrick 19th September 2014, 02:46 PM
Really wanted 'One Last Time' (</3) but this is up there as one of the other good moments so happy with it i think.
Never noticed the DWUW comparisons until now too 
Posted by: ░░░░ 1st October 2014, 01:20 PM
this is really earning its repeated listens. so sultry and assured.
maybe one of my pop singles of the year
Posted by: SLlewellyn 2nd October 2014, 08:47 AM
Saw Ariana and The Weeknd perform the track on SNL and it sounds like it should be a hit. It's a shame how "Break Free" was released, it hasn't peaked anywhere near as high as it should have; hopefully this can be another T20.

i f***ing L O V E this.
thank you jake for pointing me in the right direction
Posted by: Tyler~ 6th October 2014, 02:16 AM
This is wonderful.
Really wasn't expecting this to be so great. You can actually get away with being a diva c**t, if you release quality tracks like this.
Posted by: Jade 6th October 2014, 02:49 PM
I definitely get the 'Do What U Want' comparisons! I'm a sucker for sensual production so naturally I LOVE this, wonderful. <3

Lyric video:
This was my instant favourite upon hearing the album, very pleased that it's being pushed!

SULTRY, SUAVE, SOPHISTICATE

BORING, BLAND, BAD HAIRDO
Posted by: Jonjo 3rd November 2014, 02:49 PM
I'm not going to say anything because I'm pretty sure no matter what she does atm I'm going to be all over it so... woo. Overall a very nice video though!
Posted by: Noahspike 3rd November 2014, 03:04 PM
My love for this continues to grow 
. By far the best thing I've heard from her. Video is perfectly serviceable.
Posted by: Cremey_SZN 3rd November 2014, 06:24 PM
Perfect song/video package.
Posted by: Cameron 3rd November 2014, 06:34 PM
She looks incredible, love it!
Posted by: HausofJSG'sDog 3rd November 2014, 06:38 PM
This is easily her best single to date. Cute video too.
His hair works for him, thank you very much!
Posted by: Jack 3rd November 2014, 07:16 PM
Decent enough video, does the job at least. Amazing song, I really hope we get One Last Time next and that would be four 10/10 singles in a row for me 
.
Posted by: mr_aly 3rd November 2014, 08:50 PM
I didn't think much of this when I heard it upon album release, but hearing it again/seeing the video made it click. I agree with the production being quite like 'Do What U Want', but this is a bit more subtle.
But yeah, 'One Last Time' needs to be after this!
Posted by: Calum Hood 3rd November 2014, 09:25 PM
Amazing video, perfectly suited to the song. And thank god we're finally getting to see her be 100% sexy sans the addition of the "look at me, i'm cute" smile.
Posted by: RobinJuanPersie 3rd November 2014, 09:31 PM
I absolutely love the video.
Posted by: #IMPACT!! 3rd November 2014, 09:55 PM
I'm lovin this!!
Been on repeat.
Posted by: Neil. S 3rd November 2014, 10:21 PM
Been on repeat.

You like a song??

You like a song??
It only takes them to finally poop out something good!
It's a rare occasion. Usually only Katy Perry is up to the challenge these days.
Posted by: Jade 3rd November 2014, 11:25 PM
I'm still all over this song, so lush! Great video too, she really is stunning!
Posted by: CherylStyles 3rd November 2014, 11:53 PM
I'm still not huge on this song as a single It's a "nice" album track for me but a bit boring as a single and the video isn't helping, as great as she looks, oops.
Posted by: #Slayberry 6th November 2014, 08:53 AM
Ariana never fails to amaze me with her videos. Even with those kitty ears (giving me Janet Jackson "Black Cat" teas), she does give us that sexier side, and that was exactly what I expected with the video.
I was kinda hoping for a makeout scene... but whatevs.
Posted by: Umi 8th November 2014, 11:35 PM
What a fabulous song! By far the best one from this album so far (and the others haven't been half bad) and even the video I really like. Some excellent shots, very slick.
Posted by: Noahspike 14th November 2014, 03:57 PM
This remains glorious. I would like it to hurry up and chart soon, thx.
Posted by: mr_aly 14th November 2014, 03:59 PM
It already has this week.
Posted by: Noahspike 14th November 2014, 04:03 PM
I meant in the UK Top 40, sorry! But yeah, great that it's already gone top 10 in the US.
Posted by: Jonjo 26th January 2015, 05:26 PM
The success of this song in the UK has been wonderful! Even managing to peak this week!
It's also been a big top 10 Billboard top 200 hit for her too!
Posted by: ˇbré! 26th January 2015, 05:27 PM
The longevity is good and all but #48 is not a great peak for this really, I certainly expected much higher. Done extremely well in the USA though!
Posted by: Atonement 26th January 2015, 09:01 PM
It's also done really well in The Netherlands. Quite surprised it's basically flopped in the UK (and yes I consider 48 a flop regardless of the longevity)
I love The Weeknd's verse. He really makes the song tbh.
Posted by: Jade 25th January 2021, 10:57 PM
The Weeknd is releasing a https://shop.theweeknd.com/products/the-highlights-explicit-cd?c=%2Fcollections%2Fnew-arrivals&t=New+Arrivals and 'Love Me Harder' has made the track list 
Hoping and praying for a surprise Ariana appearance for his Super Bowl performance
Posted by: Liam.k. 28th August 2022, 02:27 AM
This remix has been popping up as an advert on my Instagram:
Posted by: Jade 28th August 2022, 10:15 PM
Ooh I hadn't come across that so thanks for sharing! A deep house makeover of 'Love Me Harder' was not ever something I envisioned but I can get on board 
Posted by: Jade 30th September 2023, 12:51 PM
Today marks 9 years since 'Love Me Harder' was released 
still absolutely love this one!
