Collaborations between Sam Smith and Calvin Harris are a gift that keeps on giving, and they just shared another one with the world. The music video for their new song “Desire” is here and it sees the duo hitting a race track and taking a wild ride.

The music video for “Desire” isn’t extremely plot-driven, and it mostly shows Smith speeding through an empty parking lot, preparing for their next high-speed race. The video shows the singer singing along to the track’s lyrics from behind the wheel.

“​​You are my desire/And just the thought of you is keeping me awake/You take me higher/Take me away,” Smith sings in the catchy chorus, which they co-wrote alongside Harris, Sam Roman, and Matthew Burns, who also co-produced the song.

“Desire” was originally released on July 28, and it’s steadily climbing up the UK Official Singles chart, peaking at No. 12. Harris topped the chart earlier this year with “Miracle” ft. Ellie Goulding, while Smith scored their last No. 1 single with “Unholy” ft. Kim Petras.

“Desire” marks the third collaboration between Smith and Harris. They topped the charts in the UK with “Promises” back in 2018 and later collaborated on “I’m Not Here to Make Friends” from Smith’s latest album Gloria.
