While the entire world is gearing up to say Happy Valentine's Day, Eminem and Ed Sheeran have decided to make it unhappy.
Eminem collaborated with Ed Sheeran for a song called 'River' on his album Revival. The Grammy-winning MC now has decided to drop the video for the song on Valentine's Day is February 14.
The song deals with a complicated, abusive relationship between two people. The lyrics go,
He's comin' home with his neck scratched, to catch flack
Sweat jackets and dress slacks, mismatched
On his breath's Jack, he's a sex addict
And she just wants to exact revenge and get back
While Sheeran's hook goes like this,
I've been a liar, been a thief
Been a lover, been a cheat
All my sins need holy water, feel it washing over me
Well, little one, I don't want to admit to something
If all it's gonna cause is pain
Truth and my lies right now are falling like the rain
So let the river run
Eminem teased the song with a 30-second clip on his Twitter account.
The footage features a screaming couple, arguing and getting abusive. Then we hear Ed Sheeran ask questions about that relationship to the duo. But then Eminem himself appears, answering Sheeran's question about his love life. In the end, Sheeran answers one question himself.
Eminem captioned the tweet, "Unhappy Valentine’s day! #River Music Video ft. @edsheeran WEDNESDAY."

In an interview with Billboard Sheeran talked about the opportunity of working with Eminem. He called it 'a door that I thought was closed and just opened randomly.'
Revival released in December 2017 immediately reaching number 1 rank on Billboard 200 chart. The feat made Eminem only person to ever have eight albums debut at the top spot.
