Ed Sheeran and Justin Bieber's 'I Don't Care' video is green screen perfection
This is One Good Thing, a weekly column where we tell you about one of the few nice things that happened this week.
Are they trying to break the internet?
Ed Sheeran and Justin Bieber released a humorously shoddy green screen video for their joint single, "I Don't Care" on Friday. If you need something to wake you up, this is it.
Colorful visuals and silly costumes abound in the nearly four-minute video, which utilizes a bunch of green screens. Bieber appears in multiple roles, including human-sized corn on the cob, teddy bear, and an ice cream cone. Sheeran, on the other hand, dons an '80s style track suit, a panda costume, and a Hawaiian shirt. As the background rapidly transforms from black tie event to a sky of cartoon rainbows, the singers dance around like the goofballs they are.
The dance-y song is exactly what one could expect from the minds of Sheeran and Bieber, with breezy lyrics like, "'Cause I don't care when I'm with my baby, yeah / all the bad things disappear / And you're making me feel like maybe I am somebody."
Bieber's been teasing the video all week on Instagram, posting hilarious stills like this one:
Put together, the song and video go (panda) hand in (teddy bear) hand to create a perfectly light-hearted and fun moment. As they bop around to the music, you can tell they really don't care.
Also, given the green screen, we're expecting some pretty decent memes to come out of this.
