AceShowbiz - Ariana Grande and Nathan Sykes prove that exes can still be good friends, and even business partners. More than a year after their short-lived romance, the former couple reunited for a new version of "Over and Over Again" which they teased on Monday, January 11 through their respective social media accounts.
The song was originally released back in October as a solo single to be included on Sykes' upcoming album. Late last week, the former The Wanted member revealed on Twitter that he had reworked the tune with "a very special feature."
So you know I said January was going to be an interesting month ...
