Problem singer Ariana Grande, has also released her first single since her last project in 2020. The melody titled Yes and? is somewhat a preview of her next studio album.
A video for the song, currently charting on iTunes in the United States, would also go public in hours, fans of the singer have said. The official audio has 1.3 million streams on YouTube so far.
The upbeat rendition has Grande singing about healing and not caring about other people’s comments.
“In case you haven’t noticed, 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?” she sings in the opening verse.
