Ariana Grande and Nicki Minaj premiered their "Side to Side" video right on the enormous pink heels of their thematically-similar performance at the 2016 VMAs. While vocals and cardio didn't prove a winning combination in a live setting (WHO makes Ariana/any pop star sing live while biking?), the Hannah Lux Davis-directed video is pure campy joy awash in hot pink hues.

As in the performance, Ariana begins the clip as a SoulCycle instructor, leading a class of ladies wearing an array of unreasonable footwear. It looks really fun — and this gym is clearly nicer than mine, because unlike these dancers I wouldn't touch the YMCA's shower floor with my worst enemy's ass.

Had Lena not heard it before? There's no delicate subtext in "Side to Side"; it's pretty blatant as far as sex metaphors go. It's half the fun.
