The wait is finally over! Pop sensation Ariana Grande has burst back onto the scene with her highly anticipated new single, “yes, and?” It’s a track that not only showcases Grande’s signature catchy melodies but also encapsulates her unapologetic confidence and self-assuredness. Get ready to groove as we dive into the details of this exciting release!
Ariana Grande has once again demonstrated her musical prowess with “yes, and?” This infectious single serves as the perfect introduction to her upcoming seventh album. Drawing inspiration from the vibrant dance-pop sounds of the late ’80s, Grande effortlessly combines nostalgic production with her own unique flair.
Grande’s lyrics are powerful and resonant, encouraging listeners to embrace their own strength and authenticity. With lines like “Say that s— with your chest” and “Be your own f—ing best friend,” she sets an empowering example for her fans. It’s a reminder that we should never let others’ opinions define us.
In her signature soft and sweet tone, Grande sings, “I’m so done with caring what you think.” It’s a statement of liberation and a refusal to conform to societal expectations. With a “kill ’em with kindness” energy, she effortlessly shuts down negativity and encourages everyone to live their most authentic lives.
The production of “yes, and?” is upbeat and nostalgic, transporting listeners to a dancefloor where they can let loose and embrace the carefree attitude that Grande embodies. The collaboration between Grande, Max Martin, and Ilya Salmanzadeh brings freshness to the track, while subtle nods to Madonna‘s iconic “Vogue” add an extra layer of excitement.
But the excitement doesn’t stop there. Grande has also released a tantalizing teaser clip for the song’s visual. With the enigmatic red card reading AG7 and phrases like “Your presence has been exclusively requested,” fans eagerly anticipate what’s to come.
The clip then cuts to various voices saying things like: “You know, I think I liked her better when her ponytail was a few centimeters higher”; “I mean, who cares if she’s happy? I don’t want happy. I want Ari.”; and “Well, I read it on the Internet, so it must be true!”
“yes, and?” is a direct response to such critiques. And in typical Ariana fashion, she leans into one of her greatest strengths: being oh-so sweet.
