The Weeknd and Ariana Grande reunited on the remix of the former’s 2016 smash “Die For You”, which was released on Friday.

“Die For You” has been experiencing a recent resurgence on the charts, with the song remaining in the top 10 of the Billboard Hot 100 for the last seven weeks, with a peak position at No. 6. 

The original “Die For You” comes from The Weeknd’s Billboard 200-topping album "Starboy", released in 2016. But now, he is capitalizing on the seven-year-old song’s momentum with the help of the “Thank U, Next” singer.

Grande posted a TikTok video earlier this week of her working on her section of the song. 

“Wrote and recorded a verse for my friend after a 14 hour day on set. This certain exception had to be made….” she captioned the clip, where she’s seen laying down harmonies and cutting vocal takes. The “Creepin'” singer posted her video on his Instagram account with a tearing up emoji.

This marks the fourth time the pop dynamic duo has collaborated together. In 2021, The Weeknd recruited Grande for the Hot 100-topping remix of After Hours‘ “Save Your Tears”. He’s also featured on “Love Me Harder” from Grande’s 2014 sophomore album, My Everything, and “Off the Table” from her most recent album, 2020’s Positions.
