Ariana Grande

"Problem" (ft. Iggy Azalea) (video)

Pop star Ariana Grande is getting ready to release her sophomore LP later this summer, and has roped in "Fancy" rapper Iggy Azalea to help her out with a big "Problem." The solution? Throwing down a guest verse and appearing in the video for the single of the same name, obviously.

Mixing crystalline production with a filthy sax skronk that sort of sounds like a horn-y interpretation of C+C Music Factory's "Everybody Dance Now," the massive pop song has Grande singing about the hassle of a certain someone making her breathless and otherwise wrecking her mental.

The video takes a '60s approach with its swirling decor, and finds Azalea joining Grande to spit about cutting someone loose, serving final words with a Jay Z-saluting "I've got 99 problems but you won't be one."

You can see the video, which also features a whispering Big Sean, down below.
