Taylor Swift is back with a bang with R&B singer Zayn. The musical duo has released the video for their song "I Don’t Wanna Live Forever", from the soundtrack of the 2017 movie Fifty Shades Darker.
Swift and Zayn surprised the musical world and their fans in December 2016 with their soulful rendition of the song.
The video, which was released in January 2017, is stylish, emotional and dramatic. It compliments the sultry and sexy tune of the song.
In fact, Taylor Swift has been giving her fans peeks of the video for weeks on Twitter and Instagram, and it was well worth the wait.
Taylor Swift’s last video release was more than a year ago when she released Out of the Woods from her album 1989.
However, after that the artist has been lying low, penning songs for other singers and artists while staying out of the limelight.
"I Don’t Wanna Live Forever" is co-written by Taylor Swift, Jack Antonoff and Sam Dew.
Antonoff has produced the single, which was released on 9 December 2016, but the video was released on 27 January 2017.
It immediately got the fans rushing to watch their favorite singer back in action and they were not disappointed by the ever consistent Taylor Swift.
The song is based on the theme of Fifty Shades Darker and is best described as an electro-cum-RandB ballad.
It is heartening to see the duo trading romantic overtures,which makes one sit up and take note of the falsetto that Zayn uses in certain parts of the song.
And, in her magical voice, Taylor Swift delves into the meaning of relationships.
With more than 26 million streams on Spotify,Tidal and Apple Music "I Don’t Wanna Live Forever" reached the second spot in the prestigious Billboard Hot 100 charts apart from reaching the Top 10 in more than 25 countries inluding..Spain, Denmark, Sweden, Italy, Canada, Hungary, Finland, Slovakia, Australia, France, Ireland, Lebanon, Belgium, Germany, Netherlands, Portugal, Luxembourg, Austria, Israel and Czech Republic.
Both Taylor Swift and Zayn released the video on their official YouTube channels and later on, it was released in the movie’s official Vevo channel.
The haunting melody, meaningful words and the stunning narrative of the video has already garnered more than 100 million hits on YouTube.
The video is set in the St. Pancras Renaissance Hotel in London. This hotel was constructed in 1873 and is located opposite King’s Cross Station.
Directed by Grant Singer, the video shows two lovers in the throes of intense and passionate love, just like the relationship between Christian Gray and Anastasia Steele.
The video begins with Zayn getting out of a car in the night when it is raining and the paparazzi is busy clicking his photographs.
Ignoring the photographers, Zayn enters the hotel and begins singing while walking to the elevator. The chorus starts the moment he reaches the elevator.
In the meantime, Taylor Swift is in the next elevator, singing her lines as she makes her way to her hotel room.
Both singers sing in their respective rooms while throwing things in a fit of anger while red and blue lights keep flashing.
The dramatic video ends with Swift and Zayn looking at each other, before the camera pans onto the bed where Swift is lying along singing the last part of this amazing song.
Taylor Swift and Zayn Malik - I Don’t Wanna Live Forever (Fifty Shades Darker) - Lyrics
Release Date - December 9,2016
Album - Fifty Shades Darker:
Been sitting eyes wide open behind these four walls, hoping you'd call
It's just a cruel existence like there's no point hoping at all
Baby, baby, I feel crazy
Up all night, all night and every day
Give me something, oh, but you say nothing
What is happening to me?
I don't wanna live forever, 'cause I know I'll be living in vain
And I don't wanna fit wherever
I just wanna keep calling your name until you come back home
I just wanna keep calling your name until you come back home
I just wanna keep calling your name until you come back home
I'm sitting eyes wide open and I got one thing stuck in my mind
Wondering if I dodged a bullet or just lost the love of my life
Baby, baby, I feel crazy
Up all night, all night and every day
I gave you something, but you gave me nothing
What is happening to me?
I don't wanna live forever, 'cause I know I'll be living in vain
And I don't wanna fit (fit, babe) wherever (wherever)
I just wanna keep calling your name until you come back home
I just wanna keep calling your name until you come back home
I just wanna keep calling your name until you come back home
[Taylor Swift] I've been looking sad in all the nicest places
[Zayn Malik] Baby, baby, I feel crazy
[Taylor Swift] I see you around in all these empty faces
[Zayn Malik] Up all night, all night and every day
[Taylor Swift] I've been looking sad in all the nicest places
[Zayn Malik] Give me something, oh, but you say nothing
[Taylor Swift] Now I'm in a cab, I tell 'em where your place is
[[Zayn Malik & Taylor Swift] What is happening to me?
I don't wanna live forever, 'cause I know I'll be living in vain
And I don't wanna fit wherever
I just wanna keep calling your name until you come back home
I just wanna keep calling your name until you come back home
I just wanna keep calling your name until you come back home
I just wanna keep calling your name until you come back home
I just wanna keep calling your name until you come back home
[Taylor Swift] I just wanna keep calling your name
[Zayn Malik] Until you come back home
[Taylor Swift] Until you come back home
