"That if I can't be close to you, I'll settle for the ghost of you/ I miss you more than life," the husband of Hailey Baldwin sings in the chorus. "And if you can't be next to me, your memory is ecstasy/ I miss you more than life, I miss you more than life."
As for "The Young Pope" alum, she previously spoke out about her collaboration with Justin in a recent interview with Vogue. "He called me up and I said, 'yeah, sure,' " she recalled. "I thought the song was wonderful."
"This was just sheer fun," she said about her first acting in a music video. "All my life, I've been an actress and had lines, and sometimes I've gotten to loosen them up a little - but this was just completely loose and relaxed. Nobody ever [told me to do] anything, which made it so much fun."
"Ghost" is Justin's latest single from his sixth album, "Justice". He previously performed the track at the 2021 MTV Video Music Awards in September. It marked his first performance since 2015.
