The Ariana Grande and Chris Brown duet "Don't Be Gone Too Long" may have been delayed due to Brown's slew of legal troubles earlier this year, but now the release of the new single seems imminent.
On Monday (April 14), a video of Brown dancing to the danceable beat hit the web. "Don't Be Gone Too Long" begins with a slow buildup of synthesizers, as a loopy, atmospheric beat builds up to the chorus.
Though the verses in the teaser don't contain the vocals and lyrics to "Don't Be Gone Too Long" (obviously), the presumed chorus is loud and proud in the 3-plus minute video.
"Don't be gone too long / 'Cause you won't be there to love me when you're gone / Don't be gone too long / Tell me, who's gonna love me when you're gone?" Brown sings with some accompaniment from Grande. Though his vocals are in the forefront of the chorus, the rising music star can be heard decorating his parts with her signature whispered tone. Grande, of course, also adds some impressive falsetto runs - this is her song, after all.
"Don't Be Gone Too Long" was seemingly due out earlier this year but has been delayed. It has no official release date.
Watch the teaser video, featuring Brown, below, via Billboard:
"Don't Be Gone Too Long" isn't the only new music Grande and Brown have in the well. He's planning his new studio album X for May 5. Meanwhile, yesterday (April 15), Grande announced that her new single "Problem" is right around the corner on Twitter.
