Ariana Grande he's not changing his position on how he feels about music leaks. During the first episode of her multi-party interview on The Zach Sang Show On Monday (February 26), the 30-year-old pop star addressed the issue of her unreleased songs finding their way onto social media without her permission last year — one of which, she hinted, found a much more kosher home in the upcoming Eternal sunshine album.
“The few studio sessions I did, which are all over TikTok, thank you very much,” she began, wearing a head-to-toe red outfit — except for her black stilettos — and matching lipstick. “I'll see you in jail, literally,” the singer added.
“Thieves! Pirates! Scammers!” she said laughing but still serious. “Illegal. I'll pay you more to leave it, to get it back.”
Grande went on to provide context for her catchy '90s-inspired track “Fantasize,” which was never supposed to see the light of day, but still found its way to TikTok virality last year. “That wasn't my song, it wasn't about me,” he explained, noting that he had written it for an unnamed TV show. “It was like a parody of that girl group vibe.”
However, the “POV” singer noted her fans' love for “Fantasize” and decided to incorporate it into her new record, which will be released on March 8. “I gave them Ariana's version of it on the album,” he said. “They are completely different now. So even though you've heard them – because you stole them – they're very different now.”
The second part of Grande's interview with Sang arrives on his day Eternal sunshine's release and will find the pair talking about every single song on the 13-track album. So far, the only single to drop before the LP's release is the Billboard Hot 100 No. 1 “Yes, And?”
While talking about the theft of her music, the Victorious The alum also shared her thoughts on the similarly viral AI renditions of her voice — and let's just say, she might hate that even more than leaks. “What are we doing? Why?” she said, seemingly unconcerned.
“I hate it,” he added. “It's scary”.
