Chris Brown & Ariana Grande Get Super Close in "Don't Be Gone Too Long" Video
UPDATE: Months after teasing the initial duet, Chris Brown and Ariana Grande's "Don't Be Gone Too Long" is here in full! The singers belt and harmonize over a throbbing, electro-dance beat in this melancholic duet.
The track was revealed in its official video that shows the two singers playing forbidden lovers in medieval times. Grande is a princess (of course), kept under control by an evil king, and Chris seems to be her commoner/peasant boyfriend. The medieval clips are juxtaposed with current-day dance clips of the singers. We love when Grande, donning a ballerina costume, hits the splits, walks on the tips of her toes and gets super close with Chris—at one point lifting her leg onto his shoulder. Who knew Ariana was so flexible?!
Watch the new video above and peep a one-take vid of Chris dancing, spinning and moon walking to the track's instrumental below.
