Ariana Grande and James Corden put something special together for The Late Late Show with James Corden audience on Monday night, in the form of a soundtrack to Titanic. Together, the two sang 13 songs with nine sets, in only one take—or what Corden called “zero pressure.”

In roughly five and a half minutes, Grande and Corden breezed through all our favorite scenes from the film, including where Jack and Rose stand at the front of the boat in the “I’m flying” scene, where Jack draws a nude portrait of Rose (though no one is nude in Grande and Corden's remake), and the final scene, and where the ship crashes and Jack doesn’t make it.

Grande and Corden sang an array of songs, including Styx’s “Come Sail Away,” Timbaland’s “The Way I Are,” NSYNC’s “Bye Bye Bye,” and Hall and Oates' “Rich Girl,” among others. After Jack—or Corden—slips into the ocean and dies, they come together at the end to sing the film’s epic ballad, Celine Dion’s “My Heart Will Go On,” where Corden really proves his chops. Honestly, the skit might be proof that Corden and Grande are the perfect singing duo.
