Her long-awaited seventh album comes after the “God Is A Woman” singer took a break from music to focus on auditioning and filming for the Wicked movie musical adaptation, which she recently wrapped filming. Watch the teaser trailer for the upcoming film here.
Once the SAG-AFTRA strike put production on the film on pause, Grande returned to the recording studio to quickly create the new album. The album came out at a rapid pace, which surprised even Grande. The album is also the first time audiences will hear Grande singing after she completely “deconstructed” her voice to prepare to play Glinda.
“I changed and healed a lot through taking space from [music]. I think I learned so much from Glinda and through Glinda. I kind of healed a lot of parts of myself alongside and through her and it actually helped me heal a lot of my own personal, weird stuff I had with my relationship to music.”

Is Ariana Grande’s new album about Eternal Sunshine of a Spotless Mind?
Yes, Ariana Grande’s new album is inspired by the 2004 Jim Carey film Eternal Sunshine of a Spotless Mind.
While speaking with Zane Lowe, Grande revealed that the new concept album is linked to the film.
“I think that the movie is so beloved because so many people can relate to knowing that something isn’t right but loving so much and wanting to stay and figure it out. And that cycle can happen,” she shares. “It kind of fell into place that little tidbits of these songs had that theme.”
