The Weeknd enlists Ariana Grande for new remix of ‘Die For You’
nme.comThe Weeknd has shared a remix of his 2016 song ‘Die For You’, featuring new vocals from longtime collaborator Ariana Grande.
The song first appeared on the tracklist of The Weeknd’s third studio album, ‘Starboy’. The remixed version stays largely true to the original, with the addition of backing synths on the chorus and Grande’s whistle-note harmonies.
For her part, Grande alters the lyrics of her second verse for a call-and-response with The Weeknd. “I’m findin’ ways to stay concentrated on what I gotta do,” she sings. “But, baby boy, it’s so hard ’round you.” Listen to The Weeknd and Ariana Grande’s ‘Die For You’ remix below.“Wrote and recorded a verse for my friend”, Grande announced on social media earlier this week, accompanied by a video of herself in the studio.
