Let’s do a collaborative history recap – Nicki and Ariana first teamed up on Jessie J’s ‘Bang Bang’ which dropped in 2014.  Later that same year, Ariana was featured on Nicki’s ‘Get On Your Knees’ which is off of the album, The Pinkprint.  Then in 2016, Nicki was featured on ‘Side to Side’, another huge track off of Ariana’s Dangerous Woman album and now in 2018, Nicki is on Ariana’s ‘The Light Is Coming’ and Ariana is on ‘Bed’ – you can kinda say they’re besties!

In a tweet leading up to the video release, Nicki mentioned that are two videos.  She tweets, “One more thing: there r 2 #BedVideo edits, as there were 2 directors involved.  You’ll see the first today. I’ll probably release the other edit in a week.  Idk.”

 

 

 

 

Speaking with Zane Lowe from Beats 1, Nicki says this upcoming album will be her “best album” yet, “I wanted to make sure I was writing something that was meaningful to me and that would inspire and that would captivate my audience but most importantly, I wanted to have fun [in the studio] again.”  

 

 

And what about Ariana?  While visiting Jimmy Fallon on The Tonight Show, Ariana explained the meaning behind her first single, ‘No Tears Left To Cry, which is off of the upcoming album Sweetener, “It’s kind of about bringing light to a situation or to someone’s life or somebody else who brings light to your life, sweetening the situation.”  And expect big names to pop up on Ariana’s album – Pharrell, Max Martin and even Missy Elliott plus, Ariana has a new fragrance on the way!
