The Weeknd and Ariana Grande get the animated treatment in their latest music video.
The Canadian musician tapped the pop powerhouse once again for a new collaboration last night (April 22), this time for a new remix of his song “Save Your Tears.” The revamped rendition of the R&B crooner’s hit features sweet harmonies and ad-libs from Grande on the track's chorus and refrain and in a verse of her own.
What's more, The Weeknd accompanied the remix with an animated visual based on a bizarre, build-a-girl concept that depicts him constructing a life-like android of Grande.
“Met you once under a Pisces moon / I kept my distance 'cause I know that you / Don't like when I'm with nobody else / I couldn't help it, I put you through hell,” Grande coos in her verse before joining The Weeknd on the melodic chorus.
“Save Your Tears” was released as a single from The Weeknd’s chart-topping album After Hours, which received high praises with dominating singles like “Blinding Lights,” “Heartless,” and “In Your Eyes.” Since its 2020 release, the single has peaked at No. 4 on the Billboard Hot 100.
For Grande’s part, she has had an extensive partnership with the 31-year-old Grammy-nominated crooner, who most recently assisted the 27-year-old songbird on the seductive track “Off the Table” from her number-one 2020 album, Positions. And of course, who could forget when the pair dominated 2014 with their smash duet “Love Me Harder,” which, astonishingly, peaked only at No. 7 since its debut.
