"Eternal Sunshine" consists of 13 songs and follows her yearslong break from music, having spent the time since "Positions" focusing on her R.E.M. Beauty business and her role in the upcoming live-action adaptations of the Broadway musical Wicked. She stars as Glinda the Good Witch alongside Cynthia Erivo’s Elphaba.
In the past three years, the pop star's endeavors have only spanned guesting on other artists’ songs such as “Die for You” with The Weeknd and “Met Him Last Night” with Demi Lovato, and releasing a 10th-anniversary edition of her debut albums, "Yours Truly".
Grande kicked off the year 2024 with the release of “Yes, And?”— the first single from her forthcoming LP — and later received a remix featuring fellow chart-conquering diva Mariah Carey.
In a recent interview on The Zach Sang Show, the Victorious alum opened up on the creation of the album and admitted she was very emotional writing the break-up record.
The singer split from her ex-husband Dalton Gomez last year, after two years of marriage, with their divorce settled in October. She soon moved on to a controversial relationship with her current partner and Wicked co-star Ethan Slater.
Grande disclosed that she created the album from her heartbreak over her divorce and that it sped up her return to the studio.
The Grammy winner shared she cried writing it and said it would chronicle her hardest moments of loss and grief, but affirmed that it was not a revenge record.
"I wrote some of when I was very emotional. And then there are bops that are more fun. Actually, even some of the bops I cried writing, Ariana explained. "I wanted to make sure that it was what I intended, which, even at my most heartbroken or pained moments of the past few years, there was so much kindness, there was so much love, there was so much honesty, transparency and respect,".
"So even at the hardest moments of the loss and the grief that you hear on some of the album, there was so much love and transparency," she added.
Grande noted: "It wasn’t like a ‘F**k you’ at all, ever. Even, like, track two (Bye), I tried to make sure it was kind and giving credit for trying and for the goodness that there was. That was a tricky balance for me because I definitely had some sessions where I was writing more emotionally and reactively, but that’s also very human, so I didn’t want to erase all of it,".
