Ariana and Kid Cudi made magic happen on-screen in Netflix's upcoming movie Don't Look Up. The actors and artists took their collab from the film and transitioned into the booth with the release of their new single, "Just Look Up."
Lifted off of the soundtrack for Don't Look Up, "Just Look Up" tells the tale of lovers in the final moments before catastrophe hits.
The film follows a graduate student and her professor who goes on a media tour attempting to raise awareness about a dangerous comet is heading straight towards the earth. Starring Jennifer Lawrence and Leonardo DiCaprio, the film features cameos from a star-studded cast, including Meryl Streep, Jonah Hill, Cate Blanchett, and Tyler Perry.
Netflix's official synopsis of the film reads:
Kate Dibiasky (Jennifer Lawrence), an astronomy grad student, and her professor Dr. Randall Mindy (Leonardo DiCaprio) make an astounding discovery of a comet orbiting within the solar system. The problem — it’s on a direct collision course with Earth. The other problem? No one really seems to care. Turns out warning mankind about a planet-killer the size of Mount Everest is an inconvenient fact to navigate. With the help of Dr. Oglethorpe (Rob Morgan), Kate and Randall embark on a media tour that takes them from the office of an indifferent President Orlean (Meryl Streep) and her sycophantic son and Chief of Staff, Jason (Jonah Hill), to the airwaves of The Daily Rip, an upbeat morning show hosted by Brie (Cate Blanchett) and Jack (Tyler Perry). With only six months until the comet makes impact, managing the 24-hour news cycle and gaining the attention of the social media obsessed public before it’s too late proves shockingly comical — what will it take to get the world to just look up?!

Lyrics Provided by Genius
[Intro: Ariana Grande]
Mm-mm, hmm
Ah, ah
[Verse 1: Ariana Grande]
We knew no bounds
Fell at the speed of sound
Ridin' against all odds, but soon against ourselves
You haunted every memory
With no goodbyes, all bad for me
Your pride put out the fire in our flames
[Pre-Chorus: Ariana Grande]
Then just one look is all it takes
I feel your eyes, they're locked on every part of me
And then my dumb heart says
[Chorus: Ariana Grande]
Just look up
There is no place to hide
True love doesn't die
It holds on tight and never lets you go
Just look up
You cannot deny the signs
What you'vе waited for
Don't wait no more
It's right up above you
Just look up
Ariana opens the song detailing a wild yet dangerous love. She uses the pre-chorus and chorus to reflect on the things her partner does to make her get over the adversity they encounter together. She gives an inspirational message about the power of true love and how easy it is to see it.
[Verse 2: Kid Cudi & Ariana Grande]
(Baby)
Know I lеt you down, a n**** can't deny it (Uh-huh)
And there's so much I could lose and, yes, that matters (Yeah)
I've been dealin' with madness (Yo)
Wasn't the man you needed (Hmm)
You dealin' with sadness, truthfully, it's all on me (Hmm)
And I'm sorry, my love
I'ma heal your heart, I'll hold it in my hand (Ooh, ah-ah)
Time is oh so precious, we don't really have much left now (Ooh)
Take my hand, baby, never leave you, Riley
Kid Cudi uses this verse to admit to his wrongdoings and express his sincerest apologies.
[Verse 3: Ariana Grande]
Look up, what he's really trying to say
Is get your head out of your a**
Listen to the goddamn qualified scientists
We really f***ed it up, f***ed it up this time
It's so close, I can feel the heat big time
And you can act like everything is alright
But this is probably happening in real-time
Celebrate or cry or pray, whatever it takes
To get you through the mess that we made
'Cause tomorrow may never come
[Chorus: Ariana Grande]
Just look up
Turn off that s**t Box News
'Cause you're about to die soon everybody
Ooh, I, I, oh, I
Look up
Here it comes
I'm so glad I'm here with you forever
In your arms
In the final verse, Ari reflects on Cudi rapped previously, and summarizes what it means to her. She uses this verse and the song's final chorus to shout out the film, referencing scientists and the world seemingly coming to an end.
