Not too long ago, the official trailer for Fifty Shades Darker was released (and got us all hot and bothered). Now, the movie just got steamier than we even thought possible thanks to an unexpected collaboration that no one was prepared for. Taylor Swift hasn’t released new music in what seems like forever, but her duet with Zayn Malik for the highly-anticipated movie’s soundtrack is giving us LIFE.
Considering how amazing the first Fifty Shades soundtrack was, the filmmakers defnitely had to step up their game for the sequel. That being said, it only makes sense that they brought together Taylor and Zayn for “I Don’t Wanna Live Forever.” Taking to social media, Taylor shared a snippet of the smooth song, getting us even more excited for the movie.
Needless to say, everyone lost their chill and the song jumped to the number one spot on iTunes within minutes.
Even Gigi Hadid couldn’t contain her excitement over the glorious collaboration.

Taylor seems to be so happy with the success of the track that she’s been super active online.

We’ll have this track on REPEAT until the movie is released—or we get a full album from Tay.
