Pop sensation Ariana Grande has set fans waiting for the release of her upcoming single, ‘yes, and?,’ slated to drop on Friday, January 12. The highly anticipated track is poised to serve as the lead single for Grande’s eagerly awaited seventh album, a project she recently teased by intriguingly sending notes and red lipsticks from her r.e.m. collection to lucky fans.
The speculation surrounding the title ‘yes, and?’ gained traction as eagle-eyed fans noted Grande donning a jumper bearing the phrase, sparking anticipation for the album’s thematic direction. Fueling the fire, the singer shared a muted Instagram post last week featuring her mother, Joan, dancing to an unreleased song, with fans speculating that the lyrics include the enigmatic phrase.
Adding to the intrigue, Joan Grande allegedly liked a tweet on Twitter that read, “ariana grande teasing her comeback single ‘yes, and?'” As the rumor mill churns, it seems fans are on the right track in deciphering Grande’s musical clues.
In a recent reflective post on 2023, Grande shared the dichotomy of emotions she experienced, expressing immense pride, joy, and love, juxtaposed with feeling profoundly misunderstood by those unfamiliar with her. This introspection followed concerns raised by fans on TikTok regarding comments about the singer’s body.
Notably, Grande hinted at the involvement of producer Ilya Salmanzadeh in her upcoming album. Salmanzadeh, known for producing several of Grande’s hits, including ‘Problem,’ ‘Bad Idea,’ ‘breathin,’ and ‘Santa Tell Me,’ has become a staple collaborator in the artist’s successful musical journey.
