Former One Directioner Zayn Malik and country-singer-gone-pop-icon Taylor Swift on Friday released the music video for “I Don’t Want to Live Forever.”

The singers had been teasing fans all week via social media, helping amplify the Fifty Shades Darker track on Twitter.

People are obviously obsessed with the video, as it features some out-of-the-ordinary steamy scenes for Swift. Some are even calling this her sexiest video yet, as she sports some daring lingerie on a bed.

But besides that, it’s fairly dry: No PDA ensues throughout the video. To be fair, it is a breakup song about two famous celebrities who are struggling to be with one another, living the Hollywood life in desperation. They trash hotel rooms while lamenting their lost love. Anastasia Steele (Dakota Johnson) and Christian Grey (Jamie Dornan) make a couple of hot cameos, too. 

Buckle up. Fifty Shades Darker will debut in theaters on Valentine’s Day.
