The Weeknd debuts track for '50 Shades'

2014-12-23 by iGuter | 24 Comments
The Weeknd is known for his kinky, soulful tunes; but his contribution to the upcoming erotic/romantic drama film 50 Shades of Grey finds the singer at his softest and most caring.

The single, 'Earned It', premiered today along with a lyric video and will most likely be incorporated into the film as its theme.

50 Shades of Grey is directed by Sam Taylor-Johnson (Nowhere Boy) and will be released February 13th.

I mean this is for Fifty Shades of Grey AKA Twilight fanfiction. He has no reason to turn in anything spectacular for the soundtrack to this movie. Still a decent song IMO

Still a good song, it's not like a 50 Shades of Grey contribution was ever going to be his best work anyway.

He was probably more concerned about maximizing the royalties he could bargain for considering this is a big budget film.

I think attributing a song he is releasing for a movie everyone is anticipating to be a crappy guilty pleasure to his music in general isn't useful.

yeah but it's not like this is interesting even outside the context of his own music. this is no skyfall by adele

Yeah, well, a Twilight contribution turned out to be Paramore's best song. Just saying.

In terms of the trilogy, I found 'Echoes of Silence' to be his weakest tape.

it's telling that the best thing this guy's turned in since Echoes of Silence was a verse on an Ariana Grande song
and that song was pretty bad too

Twenty Eight, Here Comes The Sun, Professional, Belong To The World, Tears In The Rain, Love In The Sky, all better than that song

Calling a song from the 50 Shades soundtrack "earned it" is pretty funny though.

In retrospect, I like the song a lot better then when I first heard it.

It's a bit of weird how this song has marked the Second Coming of The Weeknd. Like really?
