After hyping us up with several Instagram photos from the set, Ariana Grande has finally rolls out the swinging '60s mod-styled music video for her chart-slaying hit single "Problem" featuring Iggy Azalea. The Max Martin-produced song is the lead single from the pop sensation's upcoming sophomore album, is due in August. The 20-year-old Broadway leading lady and breakout music star is growing up fast and exceeding our expectations at every turn! The funky visual proves that she's the full package - she's got the moves, the style and of course, the voice!
The boisterous song finds Grande singing about her insecurities about renewing a relationship with a former boyfriend whom she knows isn't good for her. "'Problem' truly represents the feeling of being absolutely terrified to re-approach a relationship that's gone sour, but you want to more than anything," she explained to Billboard magazine. Grande added that the song is based on her still-evolving relationship with an actual ex: "In the song, it ends on a sappy, negative note, but in [real] life, we're hoping it's going to end on a positive one," she said. "I feel like it's all very honest and human."
The songstress looks like she traveled back in time with Azalea and Big Sean to the 1960s. Keeping with the mod black-and-white color scheme (with a touch of pink) and those thigh-high go-go boots she's been rocking as of late, Grande sheds her sweet, teeny-bopper persona for a sexier, more mature vibe and takes us on a psychedelic journey. In what reminds us of a '60s variety show set, the pop princess struts her stuff in a short black sequined dress with a head-topping ponytail as she belts out her hit song and busts out her go-go girl moves in front of her back-up dancers, who break down some pretty impressive moves.
With its Vespas and costume design, this new monochromatic retro clip feels more like a Topshop catalog put to motion. After singing on a motorcycle, and standing on a spinning wheel getting her air on with a slave fanning a feather, Grande meets up with Azalea, sporting her best Brigitte Bardot hair, as she raps her verse with her mesmerizing rhymes and sexy all-black turtleneck outfit. Sean then joining them to whisper the song's hook "I got one less problem without you" over the Thrift Shopped horns.
