Ariana Grande gets wet and dirty with The Weeknd in her new music video for Love Me Harder. Over the top sexiness, a leather bustier and plenty of sultry, moody looks, but not much else…“Our visuals are really about this tug of war of just loving harder,” director Hannah Lux Davis said. “And the compromise of giving in and needing more and wanting more.”

Grande is certainly attempting to shed her girl-next-door image, even though she retains the signature cat ears. Scenes of the 21-year old writhing around in the sand and touching herself are edited with explosive, sexually suggestive nature scenes, like golden grains of sand falling through fingers and orgasmic explosions in the sky. Yes, the Weekend is in it but its difficult to focus on him with Grande gyrating around and batting her huge eyelashes all the time.
For most of the video she takes on her all-too-familiar lying down position “I’m laying down in every music video ever” commented Grande. The official video was released today (November 3) after weeks of teasing fans with behind-the-scenes clips uploaded to Instagram.
The single is taken from Grande’s second solo album My Everything – the third single, after Problem and Break Free. The album was released in August this year by Republic Records and went straight to the top of the Billboard 200 selling an incredible 169.000 copies in the first week.
