Calvin Harris has released the video for his new single featuring a cameo by Jason Statham.
The superstar DJ, who is dating singer Rita Ora, has unveiled the promo for his new track 'Summer', which shows 'The Expendables' star attempting to race Calvin during a drag race in the desert.
The video starts with an view of a long stretch of road and shows the DJ looking causal in a pair of jeans and white t-shirt.
Elsewhere, a model wearing lingerie watches him from a balcony and is seen seductively writhing around on a bed.
Jason, who is well-known for playing bad guys in movies, then appears looking serious and wearing shades as he drives down a road in competition with the DJ.
The two men become pals in recent months and were seen partying in Las Vegas as well as at the BRIT Awards.
Meanwhile, Calvin has also being working with Rita on her new track 'I Will Never Let You Down' and she admits she was "nervous" working with the star, who she has been dating on/off for about a year.
She said: "I was actually a bit nervous because he's never seen me in work mode. But literally just 10 minutes in, he was so blunt. I think it's the Scottish-ness in him, he was just like 'no' etc and it happened so quick."

All Saints are planning a big chart comeback.
The 1990s girl group - who had hit songs such as 'Never Ever' and 'Pure Shores' - recently reunited to support Backstreet Boys on the UK leg of their 'A World Like This' tour, but they are now set to release new music in a bid to rule the charts again.
A source told the Daily Mirror newspaper: "The girls have loved being back together again and this time around, being that much older and wiser, aren't taking any nonsense.
"They've had a few meetings with songwriters and management, and the feeling is there is still a gap in the market for a group like them.
"The plan is to get back in the studio in the summer and produce a handful of new tracks so long as they are all happy with the results, a single will be released at the end of 2014."
Billed as an edgier rival to the Spice Girls, All Saints - consisting of sisters Nicole and Natalie Appleton, Melanie Blatt and Shaznay Lewis - topped the UK singles charts on five occasions but split up in 2001.
The band initially made a comeback in 2006, but despite the success of their lead single 'Rock Steady' - which reached number three in the UK singles chart - their album 'Studio 1' was less successful, charting outside of the Top 40.

Ed Sheeran has written a song about an ex-girlfriend.
The 'Lego House' hitmaker, who has announced his new album 'x' will be released on June 23, admits one track on the record is a "true story" about a former lover.
He told The Sun newspaper: "If you date a songwriter, prepare to have songs written about you."
Ed, who is close friends with Taylor Swift, who has written a number of songs about her ex-boyfriends, added that he "could have gotten nastier" and claims the song is a "100 per cent true story".
The 23-year-old singer, whose latest track 'Sing' will be debuted on Zane Lowe's BBC Radio 1 show tonight (07.04.14), has posted details of his new album on Twitter, the follow-up to 2011's '+', which sold 102,000 copies in its first week on sale.
Ed wrote: "My 2nd album is called 'x' or 'multiply' and will released on the 23rd of June worldwide. Can't wait for you guys to hear it."
It was recorded in Los Angeles with producer Rick Rubin, who advised him to record the record acoustically first and add instrumentation afterwards.

Miranda Lambert was the big winner at last night's (06.04.14) American Country Music (ACM) awards, taking home three prizes.
The 30-year-old singer was nominated for seven awards, and picked up Female Vocalist of the Year, Vocal Event of the Year for 'We Were Us' with Keith Urban and Single Record of the Year for 'Mama's Broken Heart'.
Speaking after picking up Female Vocalist of the Year for the fifth year in a row, she paid tribute to her fellow nominees, saying: "I was just hanging out with Trisha Yearwood back there, holy crap, and I was standing next to Sheryl Crow, a complete and utter rock star.
"And Kacey Musgraves, I grew up with her. She wrote the single of the year this year. And Carrie Underwood's my buddy, y'all, and she's a phenomenon. I can't believe it, I'm so grateful and humbled. I love my job."
Tim McGraw had also been up for seven awards, but won just one, Video of the Year for 'Highway Don't Care' with Taylor Swift and Keith.
Meanwhile, George Strait picked up Entertainer of the Year, The Band Perry won Vocal Group of the Year and Jason Aldean was stunned to take home Male Vocalist of the Year for the second year running.
He said: "This is really unexpected.
"It was a shock last year to win it and even a bigger shock this year, I think. ... It's been one hell of a ride, so I hope it doesn't end any time soon."
The ceremony - which took place at Las Vegas' MGM Grand Garden Arena - saw a number of collaborations, with the night's co-host Blake Shelton and Shakira performing their duet 'Medicine', Fleetwood Mac's Stevie Nicks teaming with Lady Antebellum to perform the group's track 'Golden' and her band's 'Rhiannon', and Faith Hill sang 'Meanwhile Back at Mama's' with husband Tim McGraw.

Kodaline and Harry Styles have written a song about "unrequited love".
The Irish rock band have teamed up with the One Direction hunk for a secret romantic song, but they admit they don't know whether it will ever be released.
Guitarist Mark Prendergrast told BANG Showbiz: "Harry Styles came to two of our shows and he's a big fan and we ended up going to the studio and writing a song together.
"He's a really good lad. Very funny and a very good writer and singer. It was an unrequited love song but we're not sure what we're doing with it yet, but it's there."
The 'High Hopes' hit makers - consisting also of Steve Garrigan, Jason Boland and Vincent May - can also count Nicole Scherzinger as a fan after she turned up to a show they did in Los Angeles.
Mark explained: "We did a show in LA and we're in this big old theatre and it was a mad show. Nicole Scherzinger came along. We heard she might be coming and we were like, 'No, she's not coming'. Then I could see her from the stage and I was like, 'Jesus, there she is'.
"Apparently she's a huge fan, she emailed our manager asking for tickets and she listens to the album a lot. And we went to a friend's house after and she said she listens to our songs in the gym and in the bath tub."

Backstreet Boys never thought they would sell out the O2 Arena in the London.
The superstar boyband put on an energetic show at the huge venue on Friday (04.04.14) as part if their worldwide 'In a World Like This' tour.
Addressing the fans, Kevin Richardson said: "Two years ago [A. J. McLean] mentioned he would rejoin the band and two years later I can't believe we have ... sold out the O2.
"Thank you, you're amazing. It feels good to be back on stage with my brothers tonight."
The group are on the road celebrating their 20th anniversary, and are happy to be back with their original line-up - completed by Howie Dorough, Nick Carter and Brian Littrell - with Kevin returning to the band two years ago following his departure in 2006.
The 'As Long As You Love Me' hitmakers didn't disappoint, putting on a great show with a hit-filled set including the likes of 'I'll Never Break Your Heart' and 'All I Have To Give'.
The concert also had its share of emotional moments, with the group paying tribute to their families and friends.
As well as Nick kissing a fan during new song 'Permanent Stain', Kevin and A.J. dedicated 'Show 'Em (What You're Made Of)' to their sons.
In another tender moment, the boy band held a moment's silence for their bodyguard Johnny Q, who tragically passed away last year.

Kelis thinks women write better music when they're pregnant.
The 34-year-old singer, who has four-year-old son Knight with ex-husband Nas, claims her last album 'Flesh Tone' in 2010 was one of her best records because she was expecting her first child when she recorded it.
She said: "For me, my last album was the brightest, just because I was pregnant when I recorded it and that's a really powerful time for a woman artist. If I think about female artists in the past 15 to 20 years that I love, I look at their body of work and I'm like, 'Oh, she was pregnant then!' It makes so much sense. And 'Flesh Tone' definitely signifies that. It's about life, it's a very robust record."
The 'Milkshake' hitmaker will release her next record, 'Food', on April 18, and insists it's "different" from her previous albums because she's in a more settled place.
She told NME magazine: "I'm very content, and as much as I didn't want to acknowledge that that would happen four or five years ago, being a mother totally has made that happen."

Harry Judd says McBusted will be completely "un-rock 'n' roll" on tour.
The band's drummer claims the supergroup - also formed of Tom Fletcher, Dougie Poynter, Danny Jones from McFly, and James Bourne and Matt Willis from Busted - are all changed men and will be totally "lame" during their summer gigs because they have swapped alcohol for the gym.
He said: "Dougie and Matt are both sober, I'm sober, and James was never a big drinker, Tom's not a big drinker. Danny likes a few beers and that's about it, so it was certainly a lot more crazy back when we supported Busted. We weren't even allowed to hang out with Matt, he was such a live wire.
"Now Matt is the same as me - massively into exercise and fitness and health and nutrition. Dougie is a changed man, he's quit everything and he's now focused on happiness and health. It's pretty much get up, eat fresh, go to the gym. We train together. It's pretty lame, man, it's the most un-rock 'n' roll thing."
And it seems as if Harry and Matt's wellbeing obsession is catching since James has picked up their healthy eating habits and has been hitting the gym alongside them.
He said: "Now even James is coming to the gym with us. He's lost a load of weight, and every day he's like, 'Are my arms getting bigger?' Whenever we go to a restaurant he says, 'I'll have whatever Harry's having'. On my wife's 30th we went bowling, a big group of us, and I was on different table to James but he came over and went 'Dude, what shall I get?' And I was like 'Get the salmon and get the greens on the side', and he went, 'OK' - my mates just laughed.
"It's a 35-date tour and there are some times when it's four nights in a row. Its gonna be full on, so we really need to be fit and healthy. There will be no substances that there may have been back in the day. It's totally f**king boring, the rider is all green tea instead of wine and beer and vodka like it used to be."

The Cure's Robert Smith is "f***ing angry" the band's label wouldn't let them release a double album.
The 'Friday I'm In Love' hitmakers are set to release '4:14 Scream', the band's first LP in six years and follow-up to 2008's '4:13 Dream', but frontman Robert is annoyed the songs weren't included on the first record.
He told NME magazine: "It was just pure bloody-mindlessness why the tracks weren't included on the last album. I was so f***ing angry that [the label] wouldn't release a double album. I wouldn't give them the other songs."
The new album features music recorded by Robert, along with bassist Simon Gallup, drummer Jason Cooper and guitarist Porl Thompson, who no longer plays with the band.
It's the first release since the addition of former Tin Machine musician, Reeves Gabrels, who is now on guitar, and keyboardist Roger O'Donnell, who joined them at the recent Royal Albert Hall gig in London.
Robert continued to NME magazine: "There were a number of reasons why I felt unable to complete what we were doing with the last line-up. It was impossible to just get another group and bang out the songs we didn't release. It would have been wrong."
Meanwhile, the new line-up plan to record their own new album and insist it will be something "that's really different to anything else we've done".
