The Weeknd Drops New Song "Earned It" For 'Fifty Shades Of Grey' Soundtrack [LISTEN]

Following Beyoncé's reworking of her hit "Crazy In Love," for the film, The Weeknd adds his sultry brand of R&B to the Fifty Shades Of Grey soundtrack. Titled "Earned It," the slow jam sees the Canadian crooner serenading and praising his lover.

"So I love when you call unexpected / Cause I hate when the moment's expected / So I'ma care for you, you, you, / I'ma care for you, you, you, yeah / Cause girl you're perfect / You're always worth it, and you deserve it," he sings on the steamy track.

Fifty Shades of Grey hits theatres Feb. 13, 2015. "Earned It" is now available for purchase on iTunes. The remainder of the Fifty Shades of Grey soundtrack has yet to be announced, and it's unclear whether Beyoncé's "Crazy In Love" was a simple one-off for the trailer or whether it will make the official soundtrack as well.

He recently received Canada's Allan Slaight Award, which honors rising stars who are making an impact on the world stage, and also just celebrated the three-year anniversary of his mixtape, Echoes of Silence, over the weekend, as Complex points out.

For those looking to spend to the New Years with the Canadian crooner, The Weeknd will be joining supermodel-turned DJ twins Nervo for a New Years Eve rager in Miami at the Fontainebleau Miami Beach.
