She sounds SO good in the chorus! 2:05 is 🫠 My only issue is I wish she had more ad libs in the last chorus like Save Your Tears

The remix is neither better or worse than the original. It's just there, but I doubt artistic improvement is the intention. A much higher chart peak is, so mission probably accomplished.

Why does The Weeknd and Arianna Grande keep on collaborating on remixes? I want them to collaborate on a new song! "Die For You" didn't need any remix IMO.

the remix is cute! don’t know why they got rid of the intro but she sounds great so I hope this can do some serious damage

Although this is sort of done at Pop, this has been added as a FYC to radio programmers at this format, being under CNM on AllAccess.

Far inferior to the SYT remix imo but I’m still glad it happened

Not feeling this remix at all. Everything feels so tacked on, like even her audio levels feel different. The SYT remix at least sounded like they were in the studio together, or at the same time. I found that remix not exactly necessary but it was successful. This sounds like something someone (talented) made on YouTube.

Just like Save Your Tears, it adds nothing.

I really wanted to like the remix, but like others, I also felt like Ariana's verse was a bit tacked on and it didn't really add much. I don't mind the remix, but I think I prefer the original.

It's not bad but I feel like this would have sounded better:
Verse 1 - Abel Chorus 1 - Abel Verse 2 - Ariana Chorus 2 - Ariana + Abel Bridge - Abel Chorus 3 - Abel w/ Ariana's ad-libs
I don't mind Ariana's verse, and her ad-libs in the first chorus are nice but it's bizarre to me that they weren't placed in the final chorus instead. They would have sounded better towards the end of the song. And unlike "Save Your Tears," their voices don't blend very well when they're singing the chorus here. The first chorus is particularly rough.

I still think the SYT remix is the inferior version of the song. I don't care for the vocal mixing on Ariana at all. But I eventually grew to appreciate it more after seeing it live.
This is beyond underwhelming though. And a total waste of a feature.

All you mf haters hatin on this can go s**** d****!!!
At this point, Ari just humming the phone book would more than satisfy any true fan! If you don’t appreciate the beautiful notes she and Abel are making here, go look at yourself at the mirror and ask why you’re so unhappy in your life and can never be satisfied!
This is GREAT!!! Give us a whole album, Ari and Abel!!!!

After having the original for years I do appreciate a fresher version, and a new Ariana Grande track in 2023. Is it superior to the original? Maybe not, but it could get there like SYT did.

All you mf haters hatin on this can go s**** d****!!! That’s like telling haters to go have a slice of yummy chocolate cake! 🤤 In that case, yes this remix is kind of nothing. The SYT mix was fun but when listening to this one, did Ariana leave before the final chorus? She has a verse and that’s like it? It’s alright though. Doesn’t ruin it by any means so it’s cool.

I don’t care for the remix. Ari and Abel should have worked on something new and saved it for later. We should have got a reworked version of the scraped SZA remix instead.

The big pop station here (KCHZ, Cumulus) has switched out the original for the remix in power rotation. Anyone else?
