Ariana Grande and The Weeknd fans can celebrate since, on February 21, they hinted at another collaboration on social media.

“After a 14-hour day on the set, I wrote and recorded a verse for my pal. It was necessary to make this specific exception. After a day of filming the musical Wicked, in which she portrays Glinda the Good Witch, Grande captioned a little video in which she can be seen cutting vocal takes and laying down harmonies for a track. When Grande plays back her vocal cut, she can be heard saying, “You know what I’m thinkin’, see it in your eyes / You hate that you want me, hate it when you weep,” which is, of course, the chorus from “Die For You.”
The Grammy winner not only gave fans a sneak peek at how she edited the song, but she could also get heard performing some of the choruses. You can see what Ariana Grande was thinking by the look in her eyes as she sang, “You hate that you seek me; hate it when you cry.” Many of The Weeknd’s followers responded in the comments section after the blonde beauty tweeted the track from Starboy.

Both “Love Me Harder” from Ariana Grande’s comeback album, “My Everything,” and “Off The Table” from “Positions,” her 2020’s album, both include The Weeknd.
With 13 Grammy nominations and four wins, The Weeknd is another Grammy-winning musician besides Ariana.
Most recently, Bella Hadid’s ex-boyfriend received a Grammy for Best Rap/Sung Collab for the song “Hurricane,” alongside rapper 45 and Kanye West. For her part, Ariana and Lady Gaga, 36, shared Grammy Award in the Best Pop Duo/Group Performance category in 2021 for their work on “Rain On Me.”
The originator of r.e.m.beauty last released an album in 2021, whereas The Weeknd’s most recent album, Dawn FM, came out in 2022.
