Now that they’ve got nothing else to do, Ariana Grande and Justin Bieber have found time to collaborate on a quarantine ballad. Their new song “Stuck With U” already feels a little late, as certain U.S. states are pushing to prematurely lift precautions. But everything’s cozy where they’re at: Grande and her dog Toulouse sing over webcam from bed, while Bieber and wife Hailey roam their house at the far end of a selfie stick.

Ariana Grande和Justin Bieber现在也无他事可做了，两人抽出时间合作了一首隔离期的叙事曲。他们的新歌“Stuck With U”感觉已有些姗姗来迟，因为美国某些州正在推动要提前解除防范措施。但是在他们住的地方一切都很舒适:Grande和她的狗狗Toulouse在床上通过网络摄像头唱歌，而Bieber和妻子Hailey在房子的另一头用自拍杆闲逛着拍摄。

Though “Stuck With U” is merely serviceable as a pop song, it’s at least a big upgrade from that other product of rich-people lockdown culture, the celebrities singing “Imagine.” Instead of a bad take on a hoary classic, Grande and Bieber offer a new song with a pleasantly retro doo-wop vibe. Instead of Pollyannaish optimism, they sound a note of resignation: “Lock the door and throw out the key/Can’t fight this no more/It’s just you and me.” And where Gal Gadot and friends sought to comfort the masses with front-facing camera selfies, Grande and Bieber’s video team curates fan-generated footage to include people from many walks of life. It helps, of course, that “Stuck With U” is a charitable single, benefitting the First Responders Children’s Foundation. Ah—the sweet sound of stepping over a low bar.

虽然“Stuck With U”只是一首流行歌曲，但它至少强于其他富人封禁期间的文化产物——例如那些唱着“Imagine”（John Lennon名曲）的名人。Grande和Bieber并没有选择去将老派经典胡乱演绎一番，而是用一种令人愉快的复古风格创作了一首新歌。他们不是盲目乐观，只是听上去有些无可奈何:“锁上门，丢掉钥匙/再也无法反抗了/只有你和我相伴。”Gal Gadot和朋友们试图用前置摄像头自拍来安抚大众，而Grande和Bieber的视频团队则负责搜集粉丝拍摄的小视频，其中包括来自各行各业的人。当然，“Stuck With U”是一首慈善单曲，“First Responders儿童基金会”将受益于此，这一点的确很有帮助。啊！——好一首脚踏低杆而发出的甜美之音。
