Dr Fudge 8,635 Posted October 3, 2020 Share Posted October 3, 2020 I think about this A LOT. While Ariana and The Weeknd are on top of the pop world right now, I feel like a lot of people have forgotten about their smash collab Love Me Harder from Ari’s second studio album in 2014. Despite amazing vocals and an infectious melody, the song only peaked at number 7 on The Hot 100, which probably speaks to both artists being fairly young still in their respective budding careers. So what if they had released it this year after so many years of pop success? Would it have ruled the charts and been a contender for song of the year? Though both artists have delicious catalogs of hits now, this one will always remain one of my absolute faves. Discuss! Been a cuff touple, a puff bupple, a tough couple of years.

Killa 17,478 Posted October 3, 2020 Share Posted October 3, 2020 a bop, 2020 just can't relate Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Biggest Bitch 5,230 Posted October 3, 2020 Share Posted October 3, 2020 Thanks to her name it would peak at #1, but it wouldn’t have longevity. Every third song sounds like LMH, quite forgettable song Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RRR 3,996 Posted October 3, 2020 Share Posted October 3, 2020 Their career would have stalled without this bop, this bop was essential Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Woohoo 6,534 Posted October 3, 2020 Share Posted October 3, 2020 Probably would be more successful special thanks to the weeknd (who ironically was somewhat irrelevant when this was released) on the other hand mute electric guitars are kind of outdated in 2020 but huge circa 2014-2015 (notably DWUW and Style) but it's objective "I heard if you record Gaga snoring and play it backward it sounds like an act. 2 unreleased."

27monster27 13,143 Posted October 3, 2020 Share Posted October 3, 2020 I still think that this song was inspired by DWUW. Also, this song being released when it was helped to make The Weeknds career explode the year after. he/him/his Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ryusei 61,110 Posted October 3, 2020 Share Posted October 3, 2020 Let's not forget that this was the 4th single from My Everything. So a #7 peak is pretty good. Also charting for 22 weeks. Musery Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dr Fudge 8,635 Posted October 3, 2020 Author Share Posted October 3, 2020 It’s such a bop! I wasn’t much of an ari fan before the dangerous woman album, but I can say that this was probably the very first song of hers I loved. Then dangerous woman and Into You happened and the rest is history... Been a cuff touple, a puff bupple, a tough couple of years. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flawless 2,234 Posted October 3, 2020 Share Posted October 3, 2020 It would be a smash hit the scars on my mind are on replay. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thomas P 18,479 Posted October 3, 2020 Share Posted October 3, 2020 I actually credit this song with launching the weeknd into the mainstream. After this, hits started rolling in like crazy for him. i think if it were released today instead of back then, his career would be a lot different. I also think it would affect the kind of music Ariana released. She might’ve stuck to straight up boppy-pop had this not been a top 10 for her. I don’t think songs like 7 Rings or Imagine would even be in her catalog if she wasnt sure there would be an audience for them. I’m a simple guy to please, if you like Melodrama, we chill.

Dr Fudge 8,635 Posted October 24, 2020 Author Share Posted October 24, 2020 OP: The way that I predicted Ari and The Weekend collaborating again in 2020 just 3 weeks ago. Yes, yes it is true. I AM in fact an insider and I can confirm that Club Chromatica is coming next month with the lead single HL Babylon Remix feat. Da Baby, Madonna, Missy Elliot, and Dula Peep. Been a cuff touple, a puff bupple, a tough couple of years. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
