It features Swift and Malik going back and forth singing about their doomed relationship over heavy beats and appeared in the second movie, Fifty Shades Darker. 2 on the Hot 100 and even received a Grammy nomination for best song written for visual media. Taylor Swift & Zayn – “I Don’t Wanna Live Forever”Īfter a brief hiatus, Taylor Swift released this track with former One Direction member Zayn Malik in December 2016.
The song featured a strong orchestral element and also scored an Oscar nomination for best original song and two Grammy noms, taking one home for best R&B performance. The Weeknd’s Fifty Shades of Grey track was also featured on his second studio album, Beauty Behind the Madness. 3 on the Billboard Hot 100, and Goulding went on to add it to her third studio album, Delirium, due to its success. Inevitably, perhaps, “Fifty Shades” does get darker on a few occasions, as in Corinne Bailey Rae’s depressing rendition of Coldplay’s “The Scientist” - please, let’s not go back to the start - and “Helium,” a dreary Sia ballad that betrays its title with a leaden tempo.Ellie Goulding’s track became an unofficial theme song for the series, appearing on the soundtrack for the first and third films and in the trailer for the latter. And then there’s Kygo, the Norwegian tropical-house maestro who somehow landed on the soundtrack with the typically effervescent “Cruise.” Tove Lo, who co-wrote the previous album’s Goulding track, returns with the slick “Lies in the Dark,” which channels a similar sensuality.Įlsewhere, “Bom Bidi Bom” pairs two singers morally opposed to feeling sorry for themselves - Nick Jonas and Nicki Minaj - for a bump-and-grind throwaway that probably took longer to record than to write. Halsey contributes “Not Afraid Anymore,” a throbbing, appealingly forthright number in which she tells us, “I am not ashamed anymore,” then tells a partner to watch her dress fall to the floor. John Legend turns up with a pretty, brightly orchestrated ballad, “One Woman Man,” that sounds like it could’ve been composed by the pop-jazz careerist he plays in “La La Land.” But they’re far from the only big names here.
