Jason Derulo spotted in Dubai — Is a new music video being filmed in the UAE this summer?
Gulf News

Jason Derulo has officially landed in Dubai — and he’s not just here to belt out bangers over summer.

The 'Want To Want Me' singer was recently spotted at BAOLI, one of Dubai’s chicest hotspots with Dubai-based model Elvira Jain and word on the street is that he's here to film a music video.

And, given his flair for drama, sequins, and shirtless choreography, we expect nothing less than a desert-sizzle-meets-skyline extravaganza.

Of course, Derulo is no stranger to the UAE. “It’s one of the best locations on planet Earth,” he told us just days before headlining EarthSoul Fest in Dubai last June.

Between dodging sand dunes in Morocco and FaceTiming us mid-bumpy ride, Derulo gushed about his “love affair” with Dubai — and now it seems that the feeling is mutual.

And let’s be honest — if there’s one thing Derulo knows better than viral hooks and shirt-rip reveals, it’s how to make an entrance. Whether he’s in a neck brace recovering from a near-fatal injury or casually dining in BAOLI, the man knows how to turn life into a production.

Fame, fortune, and 60 million TikTok followers later, Derulo insists he’s still just chasing the same childhood dream: “I didn’t know anything about making money or fame... I just loved to sing and dance.” Lucky for us, he’s still at it — and now, possibly with Dubai skyline cameos and BAOLI bar shots in tow.

So, Dubai — keep your eyes peeled and your camera phones ready. Because if Jason Derulo’s cooking up a music video here, one thing's for sure: it’s going to be slick, sexy, and impossible to ignore.
