Quote:
As duet partners on the springy "Love Me Harder," the pairing somehow makes sense. The driving guitar riff in the chorus is delicious 80's cheese, and the Weeknd's ultra-sincere crooning works well while serving as callbacks to Grande's demands for romantic satisfaction.
Los Angeles Times
Quote:
"Love Me Harder" [is] a darker and more fully realized R&B jam than anyone probably expected from a 21-year-old singer once known for her endless supply of pastel princess dresses.
Complex
Quote:
When Ariana unveiled the tracklist to the album, this collaboration stood out as an intriguing combination, and on first listen, it certainly doesn't disappoint. The song features a heavy pop influence with an impressive hook from Ariana, that then sets to table for The Weeknd to once again dominate a feature with a verse that has no shortage of his usual sexual undertones.
Pitchfork
Quote:
The Weeknd skulks out from the shadows and into the light on throbbing big-room ballad “Love Me Harder”
Idolator
Quote:
Single hopefuls include the woozy “Love Me Harder” with The Weeknd [...]. Once the bells and whistles are stripped away from Ariana, we’re left with what we initially loved about her: her voice.
Hypetrak
Quote:
"Love Me Harder" finds both Abel Tesfaye and Ariana Grande treading familiar territory sonically, with both artists allowing their emotive sides and polished vocal presence to take centerstage. The backdrop is not exactly abrasive or challenging, so accessibility with this song is high as well.
OT: I'm excited if this means we have One Last Time on pop and Love Me Harder on Rhythmic (even though it could smash Pop too). Then Why Try as the 4th official pop single

I thought One Last Time was the next single? LMH would be a great choice for an autumn single though, hope this is true.
