The Weeknd Teams Up With Ariana Grande on “Die for You” Remix
Written by SOURCE on February 24, 2023
The Weeknd and Ariana Grande are becoming one of pop music’s most reliable duos.
Nearly two years after collaborating on the “Save Your Tears” remix, the Grammy-winning artists reunited on an updated version of “Die for You” off The Weeknd’s 2016 album Starboy. Grande teased the remix via TikTok this week, sharing a brief snippet of her verse.
“Wrote and recorded a verse for my friend after a 14-hour day on set,” wrote Grande, who’s currently shooting the film adaptation of Wicked. “This certain exception had to be made…”
The Weeknd reshared the video on his Instagram, just a day before he announced the remix’s official release.
The singers first joined forces in 2014, when The Weeknd appeared on Grande’s “Love Me Harder” from her second album My Everything. They reconnected about six years later on Grande’s “Off the Table,” a standout cut from her Positions project.
The song arrives a day before The Weeknd’s concert special Live at Sofi Stadium premieres on HBO and HBO Max. The 95-minute project was directed by Micah Bickham and filmed during The Weeknd’s 2022 After Hours Til Dawn Tour. You can watch it Feb. 25.
