Nathan Sykes opens up about Ariana Grande romance

Singer Nathan Sykes has revealed that asking Ariana Grande to record vocals on a reworked version of ‘Over and Over Again’ wasn’t at all awkward because they gave their friendship time and space to heal after they ended their romantic bond in 2014.

The 22 year-old heartthrob admitted that enough time has passed that they can be amicable and comfortable in each other’s company now:

“(I’ve) experienced so much life experience in those years (since dating Ariana that) it does feel like forever ago. It’s not weird to me at all. I think the most important thing for me is that she’s an incredible vocalist and I really think she brings something great to the song.”

“I think it’s only as awkward as everyone else makes it. I think it’s a very easy storyline for everyone in the media world. I think as soon as everyone found out we were doing this, it was like, ‘Headlines for days! Thank you so much, Nathan and Ariana, that is so kind of you!’.”

Nathan says you “can’t win” with how you react when your songs come on the mix on a night out because either way you’ll be judged by people around you.

“I get really shy when I hear [my music] in a club or something like that, because everyone turns around and starts looking at you,” Nathan told Billboard. “Because you don’t know! Do you live it up and be like, ‘Yeah this is my song!’ our do you go really shy and go, ‘Oh yeah, that’s me’.

“Because the people who want to like you would be like, ‘Oh that’s really cool that he dances to his own song!’ but the people who don’t want to like you are like, ‘Look at that idiot, dancing to his own song! You can’t win,” Nathan added.

“I sat there listening to the song when it came on the radon the UK and I said, ‘You know who’d sound great on this?’,” Nathan recalled. “It was just a really random thought. Obviously we’d done ‘Almost Is Never Enough’ before on her debut album ‘Yours Truly.’

“She was really up for it, and she went in and put down an amazing, just beautiful vocal.”
