Some Questions About Meghan Trainor's New Video

"All About That Bass" singer Meghan Trainor's new music video is finally here, and, in a delightful twist of events, it's jam-packed with surprises: Not only does it feature John Legend crooning alongside her, but it's actually a depature from the pastel wonderland aesthetic usually seen within her video catalog. Into it! In the video, which is for Trainor's song "Like I'm Gonna Lose You," the singer stands in a candlelit warehouse and watches the rain...while a handful of couples and some unlucky pedestrians are caught in a downpour outside. There's a mother and her baby, a homeless man with his dog... you get the picture. But, don't fret: Just when you think things are getting way too depressing for any video featuring Trainor, Legend emerges, and we forget all of the sad stuff that came right before his entrance.

All the while, Trainor remains shielded from the rain in her dark and sexy loft. It's metaphorical, OK?

If you haven't had the chance to listen to the track just yet, "Like I'm Gonna Lose You," is the first slow ballad Trainor has released as a single, and it's no secret that she picked an amazing artist to join her for it. The song, like all of Trainor's hits, will likely get stuck in your head after just one or two listens — and it will surely be a staple at proms and weddings to come. The video itself, as the description above suggests, is pretty fittingly dark — a slow ballad deserves a dark, rainy video, after all. It makes sense.

However, that doesn't mean the music video didn't leave me with more than a few questions...

How Come The Bus Couple Doesn't Get The Rain Treatment?

All kidding aside, this video is pretty gorgeous. Legend's face'll do that.
