Ariana Grande Releases New Single, “Yes, And?” – LISTEN HERE
Ariana Grande sent fans into a frenzy on Thursday night as she dropped her highly-anticipated new song “Yes, And?” — after confirming a new album is on the way.
The singer, 30, hasn’t release new solo music since her sixth studio album Positions in October 2020. The song “POV” was the last solo single by Grande to hit radio in March 2021.
The new track is a self-empowering anthem as Ariana encourages listeners to ‘keep moving’ and reject the narratives others have made about them.
Her latest song also appears to touch on her controversial romance with Wicked co-star Ethan Slater as she bemoans: ‘Why do you care so much whose **** I ride?’
They met while shooting the Netflix film adaptation of the Broadway musical and confirmed the relationship this year shortly after ending their respective marriages.
Fans have speculated about the timeline of their romance, with Ethan’s ex-wife and the mother of his child, Lilly Jay, previously blasting Ariana for not being a ‘girls’ girl.’
The hitmaker sings: ‘Come on and walk this way through the fire (Don’t care what’s on their mind) / And if you find yourself in a dark situation / Just turn on your light and be like / “Yes, and?”‘
In the second verse, Ariana — who was previously married to realtor Dalton Gomez — admits that she’s ‘so done with caring’ about what others think about her.
She sings: ‘Now, I’m so done with caring / What you think, no, I won’t hide / Underneath your own projections / Or change my most authentic life’
Along with drama in her dating life, Ariana has also faced bodyshaming and speculation about her weight in recent years.
She tells listeners: ‘Don’t comment on my body, do not reply / Your business is yours and mine is mine’
