Ariana Grande has been on a musical hiatus since 2021, but she returns on a remix to The Weeknd’s “Die for You.”
The frequent collaborators reunite on the top 10 hit, which originally appeared on The Weeknd’s 2016 album Starboy.
Ariana adds her angelic vocals while delivering a new verse. “I’m finding ways to stay concentrated on what I gotta do / But baby boy it’s so hard ’round you / And yes, I’m blaming you,” she sings.
The pop songstress, who is currently filming the movie adaptation of Wicked, took a break to record the song. “Wrote and recorded a verse for my friend after a 14-hour day on set,” she said. “This certain exception had to be made.”
“Die for You” follows a series of collaborations between the two including “Love Me Harder,” “Off the Table,” and “Save Your Tears (Remix).”
On Saturday, The Weeknd will debut his HBO concert special “The Weeknd: Live at SoFi Stadium,” which he said will be the “last piece of Dawn FM.” He also recently shot a video for his Metro Boomin and 21 Savage collaboration “Creepin’.”
