Nov 3, 2014 4:27 PM CUT The new music video for Ariana Grande’s “Love Me Harder” features a healthy dose of writhing around: writhing around in sand, writhing around in water, writhing around on furniture. In a behind-the-scenes [shoot](http://www.latintimes.com/pulse/go-behind-scenes-ariana-grandes-love-me-harder-video-272391 "undefined"), Grande quipped, “I’m laying down in every music video ever. I have not ever done a music video where I haven’t lay down.” Directed by Hannah Lux Davis, whose recent credits include music videos for Jessie J, Kendrick Lamar, and Lea Michele, the video has Grande in an abandoned mansion, alternating verses with The Weeknd. Stormy weather outside rather blatantly hints at the charge between the song’s two voices, in case The Weeknd’s asking “Can you feel the pressure between your hips?” doesn’t get the point across. “Love Me Harder” is the third single off of Grande’s second studio album, _My Everything_. The singer begins a U.S. tour later this month. ```json [{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"NewsArticle","@id":"https://time.com/3554469/ariana-grande-love-me-harder-video/","mainEntityOfPage":{"@type":"WebPage","@id":"https://time.com/3554469/ariana-grande-love-me-harder-video/"},"headline":"Watch Ariana Grande Writhe Around a Lot in the Video for “Love Me Harder”","datePublished":"2014-11-03T16:27:13.000Z","dateModified":"2026-02-21T11:10:51.475Z","description":"Grande unveiled the video for the third single off her recent album My Everything","url":"https://time.com/3554469/ariana-grande-love-me-harder-video/","keywords":["Music","Music videos","Ariana Grande","pop music","the weeknd"],"thumbnailUrl":"https://static.time.com/v3/assets/bltea6093859af6183b/blt3514cb01c531cc8b/698763e1e53aba09ae4d5604/ariana-grande-video.png?branch=production&width=1200&quality=75&auto=webp&crop=1200:675&height=675","author":[{"@type":"Person","name":"Eliza Berman","jobTitle":"Berman is a senior editor at TIME.","url":"https://time.com/author/eliza-berman/"}],"articleSection":"Entertainment","image":[{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://static.time.com/v3/assets/bltea6093859af6183b/blt3514cb01c531cc8b/698763e1e53aba09ae4d5604/ariana-grande-video.png?branch=production&width=1200&quality=75&auto=webp&crop=1200:675&height=675","width":1200,"height":675,"headline":"ariana-grande-video","caption":"","creditText":"","representativeOfPage":true}],"publisher":{"@type":"Organization","name":"Time","url":"https://time.com/","logo":{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://time.com/images/logo.png","width":528,"height":156},"foundingDate":"March 3, 1923","sameAs":["https://www.facebook.com/time","https://www.instagram.com/time/?hl=en","https://twitter.com/time","https://www.pinterest.com/timemagazine"]}},{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"BreadcrumbList","itemListElement":[{"@type":"ListItem","position":1,"item":{"@id":"/section/entertainment/","name":"Entertainment"}},{"@type":"ListItem","position":2,"item":{"@id":"https://time.com/3554469/ariana-grande-love-me-harder-video/","name":"Watch Ariana Grande Writhe Around a Lot in the Video for “Love Me Harder”"}}]}] ```
