AceShowbiz - The Weeknd takes fans behind the scenes of the music video for "Earned It", a song he recorded for the soundtrack of "Fifty Shades of Grey". The Canadian singer shared on Monday, January 19 a teaser offering glimpses at him filming the visuals with director Sam Taylor-Wood, the same person behind the highly-anticipated movie.
In the nearly-two-minute BTS video, The Weeknd is featured donning a dapper black suit as he sings alone inside the Palace Theatre in downtown L.A. Some scenes from the film are also included in the clip.
"I feel like the film and my music is a match made in heaven," The Weeknd says at one point. "If you listen to my album, even the past work I've done, it's very 'Fifty Shades of Grey'."
Previously, he previewed what looks like the final version of "Earned It" music video on his Instagram page. It mostly shows him performing on the stage while some female dancers who wear nothing but black panties and pasties to cover their nipples are strutting their stuff behind him.
In addition to The Weeknd, the "Fifty Shades of Grey" soundtrack will have contributions from Beyonce Knowles, Skylar Grey, Sia Furler and The Rolling Stones among others. The disc is scheduled for release on February 10, just days before the movie opens in U.S. theaters on February 13.
