Lil Wayne, Wiz Khalifa, Imagine Dragons, and More Get Twisted in the Video for Suicide Squad Anthem “Sucker for Pain”

On the heels of the awful new Ghostbusters theme comes another musical movie tie-in: Suicide Squad now has its own anthem, “Sucker for Pain.” The rap-rock blend features Lil Wayne, Wiz Khalifa, Logic, and Ty Dolla $ign contributing verses while Dan Reynolds of Imagine Dragons sings the appropriately twisted chorus: “I wanna chain you up/ I wanna tie you down/ I’m just a sucker for pain.” Sam Harris of X Ambassadors also chimes in at the end for the song’s outro, begging for more pain.*

The accompanying music video features all of the artists involved in various states of agony—including some pretty literal interpretations of the lyrics. (It seems that those are actual, rather than merely metaphorical, chains they’ve been singing about.) It also includes some new footage from Suicide Squad, which comes out Aug. 5. The film’s soundtrack will also feature music from Eminem (of course), Panic! at the Disco, and Grimes:
