A collab with Social House, who also worked on ‘Thank U, Next’
Ariana Grande has released an entertaining, if violent video for a sultry new song, ‘Boyfriend’, with Social House.
The track is Grande’s first new music since ‘Monopoly’, the song she released with Victoria Monét in April this year. It’s also a collaboration with Social House, the pop duo of Mikey Foster and Scootie Anderson who worked on recent Ari songs like ‘Thank U, Next’ and ‘Goodnight n Go’ (from her 2018 album, ‘Sweetener’).
In the video, which was directed by Hannah Lux Davis (‘Breathin’, ‘Thank U, Next’), Grande and Foster of Social House are overcome by jealousy when they see the other flirting with strangers at a fancy party. Their envy drives them to violently eliminate their competition: Grande seizes a bow and arrow, while Social House show off their kung fu skills.
The stunts in the video, the pop star revealed in a tweet, were some of her favourite moments of the shoot. Watch the ‘Boyfriend’ video here:
In the lead-up to the video premiere, Grande participated in a Twitter countdown, chatting with her fans on the social media platform. “I feel like this song captures a common theme in the lives of so many people I know,” she told a fan who asked about the inspiration behind the track.
“People want to feel love but don’t want to define their relationship & have trouble fully committing or trusting or allowing themselves to fully love someone. Even tho they want to,” she added.
