After a week of waiting, Ariana Grande and Justin Bieber’s collaboration is finally here! On May 8, the singers dropped their new track called “Stuck With U” to benefit coronavirus relief efforts. In the ’50s-esque pop ballad, Bieber and Grande sing about being grateful to spend time “stuck” with a person they love. The proceeds from streams and sales of the melody will go to the First Responders Children’s Foundation and will fund grants and scholarships for children of health care workers, EMTs, paramedics, police officers, and firefighters on the front lines of the pandemic.
Ahead of the song’s release, Grande gushed on Instagram about how grateful she was to work with Bieber on the project. “I can’t fully articulate ……… howwwww happy i am that we waited this long to do this (the duet thing). this moment really means so much more than it ever could have if it had happened any other way or if it had been any other song,” she wrote on Instagram. “Being able to lend our voices to this project and collaborating on this has been so fulfilling and i really just love this song so much. grateful to be doing this with my friend and also just wanted to express an enormous thank u to all of the brilliant creatives who worked on this song.”
Grande and Bieber asked fans to send in videos of themselves dancing, specifically in prom dresses or suits they didn’t get to wear to their proms. Now, those clips are a permanent part of the official music video for the song. Listen to Grande and Bieber’s “Stuck With U” and watch the touching video above.
