Ariana Grande had big plans for her new album Eternal sunshine from beginning. In a Thursday (February 1) Instagram video, the pop star pulled back the curtain on a meeting she had with her team at Republic Records, during which she revealed the project is both “really vulnerable” and “a concept.” Record.
“Things are pouring out and happening really fast,” Grande tells her team in the clip, noting that she began recording the LP once the WGA and SAG-AFTRA strikes forced her upcoming Bad films, in which she will star as Glinda, to stop filming. “It's kind of a concept album, because they're all different pieces of the same story, the same experience.”
“I'm strangely emotional. F-King pack it, b-h!” she continues. “Some of [the songs] they're really vulnerable, some of them are like playing the part of what people expect me to be sometimes and having fun with it.”
Grande also included photos of herself working on the album in the studio and shooting its cover in the video. “I think this might be your favorite,” she wrote Eternal sunshine on her Instagram Story. “It's mine.”
The new post comes just days after the Grammy winner revealed two tracks from Eternal sunshineuser's social media tracklist. The first of the 13 songs on the March 8 project is called “Intro (End of the World),” while the fifth will be the album's title track.
No. 9 on the tracklist will be the already-released lead single “Yes, And?”, which debuted atop the Billboard Hot 100 earlier this month. The feat marked Grande's eighth No. 1 hit on the chart.
