The Weeknd and Ariana Grande have joined forces on a new remix of The Weeknd’s 2016 “Die For You.” The new remix dropped today (February 24). “Die For You” has been experiencing a recent resurgence on the charts, according to Billboard. The song has been in the top 10 of the Billboard Hot 100 for the last seven weeks. The song comes from The Weeknd’s 2016 album, Starboy.

Grande posted a TikTok video a few days ago of her working on the remix. “Wrote and recorded a verse for my friend after a 14 hour day on set. This certain exception had to be made….” She’s recording vocals in the video. This marks the fourth time the two have collaborated. In 2021, The Weeknd recruited Grande for the remix of After Hours‘ “Save Your Tears.” He’s also on “Love Me Harder” from Grande’s 2014 album, My Everything, and “Off the Table” from her latest album, 2020’s Positions.
