Ariana Grande released her highly-anticipated new song "Yes, And?" on Thursday night and confirmed that a new album is on the way. The singer's last solo music release was her album "Positions" in October 2020, with her last solo single "POV" hitting the radio in March 2021. "Yes, And?" is an empowering anthem that encourages listeners to reject the narratives others have made about them and keep moving forward. The song also appears to touch on Grande's controversial romance with her co-star from the Netflix film adaptation of the Broadway musical Wicked, Ethan Slater. Grande sings about not caring about others' opinions and not hiding who she truly is.

The song also addresses body-shaming and speculation about her weight. Grande shared a teaser trailer for the "Yes, And?" music video, which features a group of critics speculating about her personal life and career moves. She has been working on the Wicked movies for the past few years, putting her music on hold. Grande's last album, "Positions," was released in October 2020. She recently shared photos and videos of herself in the recording studio, hinting at new music. Although she has reportedly parted ways with manager Scooter Braun, she remains contractually bound to him and is involved in legal proceedings over their contract ending.
