Actual new music from Ari! cheer.gif

She had released a TikTok where it sounds like she’s recording a guest verse for The Weeknd’s ‘Die For You’.

Ok but why is it not 'Less Than Zero' x ('Die For You' is pretty bland by Abel's standards imo sadly, a bit mystified at it blowing up so much, I guess interested to see if Ariana can improve it at all but I can't see it becoming a big favourite)

I feel similar! This move definitely makes sense, they might as well strike while the iron is hot as 'Die For You' is riding high in the top 10 of the Billboard Hot 100 but I'm becoming very impatient for a 'Less Than Zero' release now laugh.gif intrigued to see if she can get another Billboard Hot 100 #1 to her name, if this is as impactful as the 'Save Your Tears' remix.

Lyric video:



I'm not as crazy about this as I was with the 'Save Your Tears' remix (I do think that is a much better song anyway) but I'm still happy to hear her vocals on something new. I think voice training for Wicked has had a positive effect on her enunciation and the harmonies are lovely. I do wish she had joined in on the final chorus though!

f*** me, this song is so BORING and there's literally nothing to it. I remain mystified why it's taking off, and she doesn't do anything to improve it at all.

At least she added something to the SYT remix.

^ yeah, I do think she put a lot more of a stamp on ‘Save Your Tears’ irrespective of song quality. I think I’d feel more underwhelmed if we hadn’t had such a long drought (at least by her standards), mostly just pleased to hear her vocals in some capacity again

This is nice.
Not particularly kick you in the crotch amazing... but certainly up for a few re-listens.

I'm enjoying this more than the 'Save Your Tears' remix personally.

I think I was already over SYT by the time the remix was released but I've never been massive on 'Die For You' so there's lots of room for it to improve.

The Weeknd's solo version debuts in the U.K. top 40 today at #37. I assume Ari won't be getting a credit here in the coming weeks like she didn't with 'Save Your Tears'?

Not Jack Saunders saying: "The Weeknd is going to be releasing a remixed version, Ariana Grande has confirmed she's going to be on it" when it's already out laugh.gif tbf I guess all of the news surrounding it has been a whirlwind, with this thread only being opened on Tuesday.

I’ve always loved the original version of this but Ariana really adds something to this wub.gif

The Weeknd is definitely my favourite collaborator of hers (tbh I’m a huge Abel stan so maybe I’m biased but a few of Arianas collaborations could be solo Ariana and bang just as much but her and The Weeknd just blend together so well). I’d love some sort of full length joint project at some point like an EP / a joint tour.

But I am enjoying this heart.gif wonder how high it can go in the US potential #1. I imagine in the UK too it should at least go top 20 now thanks to Ariana hopefully top ten!

Gah just imagine if Love Me Harder dropped now it would easily at least go top 5 here now in the UK laugh.gif laugh.gif

Funnily enough I was just thinking about a new Ariana tour earlier (might make a related thread soon) - the idea of a joint Ari and The Weeknd show would be interesting, they certainly have the hits between them laugh.gif I wish he had brought her out during his Super Bowl performance. Who knows, maybe Ariana will get the opportunity herself one day.

Hoping this will provide quite a significant boost! 'Save Your Tears' became a #1 hit / EOY #2 in the U.S. off the back of the remix and here it went from #11 -> #2, so it'd be great if they could replicate even a fraction of that success. That iHeartRadio performance of 'Save Your Tears' was stunning too, probably shouldn't expect a performance for this though with Ari filming and The Weeknd on tour.

Don't even get me started on 'Love Me Harder' cry.gif at least the U.S. got that one right!

clap.gif another hit remix - it was only 20k off #1 both Worldwide and in the U.S.!

It debuts at #5 on U.K. Spotify but #3 combined with the original.

'Save Your Tears (Remix)' is also getting a boost off the back of this, top 100 global and back in the U.K. top 200.

Predicted to go to #1 in USA but only 10 points ahead of Miley! It all depends on the impact Miley’s announcement has tomorrow and if any more versions of flowers are released

Oh wow it's going to be tight! I guess this has two versions on its side, so it's still #1 combined on U.S. Spotify, but 'Flowers' really is a juggernaut.

~~~

In U.K. news the remix is Radio 1's Hottest Record and has been added to Capital and Kiss' playlists

It's growing on me, I didn't hear Starboy in full when it was released so this is basically a new song for me

Acapella version is out - they're pushing for that #1 hit on the Billboard Hot 100!
