Ariana Grande and The Weeknd want you to love them harder, and now the music video for the stunning new My Everything single is out. In the wee hours of the morning on Monday (Nov. 3), the R&B superduo released the dramatic visuals for "Love Me Harder," featuring a deteriorating castle in the sand.
The music video is all about the visuals and less about any cohesive storyline.
Grande, who joked that she's constantly lying down in her videos in a behind-the-scenes promo, can be seen lying in the ruins of an expansive castle, surrounded by the sand of the desert. Donning a black bralet, matching lacy black skirt and her signature autumn cat ears, Grande sits atop a fallen throne, crawls and rolls in the sand, all while putting on her best sexy face.
(She oftentimes, however, ends up looking more like a cat in a giant litter box than a sexy pop starlet, but we digress...)
Meanwhile, for his verses and chorus, The Weeknd is elsewhere in the massive castle, singing with intense emotions against the stone wall, also while wearing all black and looking particularly contemplative.
The two rarely join forces for a scene in the music video, until some of the final shots where they can be seen singing back-to-back against a staircase.

"Love Me Harder" is the third official single from Grande's second studio album My Everything, which was released in August. The album was currently led by singles "Problem" and "Break Free."
