The 30-year-old pop singer has been the topic of headlines lately as she separated from husband Dalton Gomez and began a new relationship with her Wicked co-star Ethan Slater. In Ariana’s seventh studio album, she addresses it all in her own way.
Eternal Sunshine is Grande’s first release since 2020’s Positions and features 12 tracks including the intro and interlude. Featuring the chart topping single “Yes, And?,” and latest single “We Can’t Be Friends,” the album is a concise collection with a set theme.
Alongside the release of her record, the music video for the new single also released today. In “We Can’t Be Friends,” the singer recreates the plot of the film Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind. In the visual, directed by Christian Breslaur, who also helmed “Yes, And?,” Grande portrays a character called Peaches who is undergoing a procedure to erase her memories of an ex-boyfriend, played by Evan Peters.
In real life, Grande officially split from husband Dalton Gomez in October. She is currently dating Ethan Slater.
On Thursday, Grande sat down with Zane Lowe on Apple Music 1 and the pair dissected her new album, the inspirations behind it and discussed how her time filming Wicked was “healing” for her relationship with music.
During the conversation, the pair discussed the overarching story that the record tells, which “starts with a question and it ends with an answer,” as Lowe phrased it.
