Skrillex ha collaborato con Justin Bieber e Don Toliver per il nuovo singolo, “Don’t Go”. Il trio è apparso anche nel video di accompagnamento.
Nel nuovo video musicale diretto da Salomon Ligthelm, il trio diventa arte dal vivo in una serie di mostre, dove i dipinti gocciolano lacrime sui muri. Bieber e Toliver si alternano sulle linee del testo: “Ragazza ho bisogno di vedere la tua faccia. Premi il gas per vincere la gara. 30 libbre di basso carico. Muoviti piccola, adoro la caccia”.
Il prolifico produttore ha recentemente pubblicato una serie di singoli e collaborazioni, tra cui “En Mi Cuarto” con Jhay Cortez, “In Da Ghetto” con J Balvin e “Ego Death” di Ty Dolla $ign con Kanye West e FKA Twigs, tutti usciti il mese scorso.
“Don’t Go” fa parte della lunga lista di collaborazioni di Skrillex e Bieber. I due hanno rilasciato in precedenza le tracce “Where Are Ü Now”, “I’ll Show You”, “The Feeling” e “Children”, così come “2 Much”, “Somebody” e “Loved By You” dall’album di Bieber del 2021, Justice.
“Ad essere onesti, prima ancora di lavorare con Justin Bieber, in quell’epoca, non prestavo molta attenzione alla musica pop e non prestavo davvero attenzione a ciò che era attuale e rilevante”, ha detto Skrillex a Zane Lowe prima dell’uscita della canzone. “Il fatto di collaborare spesso con Justin è che se sei mai stato in studio con lui o hai visto i suoi video, capisci che è una delle persone più talentuose dell’intero pianeta quindi, per me, lavorare con persone di quel talento mi spinge sempre a fare cose nuove.”
Bieber ha annunciato un Las Vegas Weekend che si terrà dal 7 al 10 ottobre al Wynn Las Vegas dove si esibirà insieme a David Guetta, The Kid Laroi, Kehlani, Jaden, TroyBoi, Eddie Benjamin e altri.

Five stars for participation (Yeah), it’s a COVID operation (Woo)
Hope you hear this where your stationed (Stationed)
I lost my Bonnie, by that time you already banged it (Banged it)
She armed and dangerous, that long hair got me tangled up

Even through all of that pain, none of it was in vain (None of it was in vain, yeah)
And I’m proud of who you become, hope you feel the same (The same, yeah)
