In true Guetta style, the video will depict a world without borders in which everyone dances to the beat of his universal drum. “It’s one world (. . .) it’s all about the love and the music,” Guetta explains in the behind the scenes video. “It’s one big party!”

Guetta’s collaboration with Usher on “Without You” is one of Guetta finest collaborations to date that brings his ambition of bridging European dance music and American R&B to life. In fact, I think that Usher’s heartfelt performance on “Without You” is one of the singer’s most noteworthy accomplishments in recent years. It’s fresh, original, and most importantly, it’s sung from the heart.

In the behind the scenes footage, the Atlanta based R&B icon talks a little bit more about what inspired the song and the bittersweet qualities it so perfectly captures. “When we talked about doing a record together, I remember [David] saying that he wanted it to be something where you would be so happy but you’re crying at the same time on the middle of the dancefloor,” Usher explains with Guetta by his side. “Some of the greatest experiences of your life happen at those moments. And we wanted to give you that moment in the song.”

Watch the behind the scenes video after the break. The full-length video for “Without You” will premiere in the next few days.
