In a surprising twist, Grande revealed that “Yes, And?” is not the title of her upcoming album. However, she hinted that the single’s artwork will serve as one of the cover variants for the highly anticipated album. The track, both written and produced by Grande herself, showcases her signature style, with the collaborative efforts of renowned producers Max Martin and Ilya Salmanzadeh, known for their previous hits together.
Grande’s last studio album, “Positions,” dropped in 2020, and since then, she has remained active in the industry through collaborations. Notable collaborations include a 2021 track with Kid Cudi on the “Don’t Look Up” soundtrack and remixes of The Weeknd’s “Save Your Tears.” The artist also celebrated the 10th anniversary of her debut album, “Yours Truly,” last August with a reissue featuring new live recordings.
Despite her musical hiatus, Grande has been busy expanding her focus beyond music. She ventured into the beauty industry with her REM Beauty brand and took on the role of Glinda the Good Witch in the highly anticipated movie adaptation of “Wicked.”
In a reflection on the past year, Grande expressed gratitude for 2023, describing it as “one of the most transformative, most challenging, and yet happiest and most special years of my life.” She acknowledged valuable life lessons and expressed fulfillment in her work, cherishing every moment.
Recently, Grande gave fans a glimpse into the creative process behind her upcoming seventh studio album, sharing a photo dump on Instagram. The post included a clip of her taking a nap on a studio couch, discussing her mindset during “almost the last day of this album.” Grande tagged her reported new manager, Brandon Creed, and collaborators, hinting at exciting collaborations to come.
With the release of “Yes, And?” and the promise of a new album, Ariana Grande’s musical journey continues to evolve, leaving fans eagerly anticipating what this new chapter will bring. Stay tuned for more updates on this pop sensation’s remarkable comeback.
Here are the lyrics to Ariana Grande’s “Yes, And?”
in case you haven’t noticed
well, everybody’s tired
and healing from somebody
or something we don’t see just right
boy come on put your lipstick on
(no one can tell you nothing)
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?”
say that sh– with your chest
and be your own f—in’ best
friend say that sh– with your chest
keep moving like “what’s next?”
“yes, and?”
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
boy come on put your lipstick on
(no one can tell you nothing)
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?”
say that sh– with your chest
and be your own f—in’ best
friend say that sh– with your chest
keep moving like “what’s next?”
“yes, and?”
my tongue is sacred
i speak upon what i like
protected, sexy, discerning with my time
your energy is yours and mine is mine
what’s mine is mine
my face is sitting i don’t need no disguise
don’t comment on my body, do not reply
your business is yours and mine is mine
do you care so much whose ! i ride
“yes, and?”
why
why?
say that sh– with your chest
and be your own f—in’ best
friend say that shit with your chest
keep moving like “what’s next?”
“yes, and?”
