Ariana Grande is ready to speak her truth regarding the longstanding homewrecker allegations netizens have thrown at her since last year with the release of her new single "Yes, and?"
The "Dangerous Woman" singer took some time away from music as she pursued her acting career and starred in the upcoming "Wicked," the film adaptation of the musical.
Fans have been hounding Grande non-stop for new music since 2020's "Position" album, and she finally marked the start of a new era with her single.
According to reports, Grande spent time writing, recording, and producing her upcoming album in New York alongside Max Martin and Ilya Salmanzadeh.
Ariana Grande Addresses Critics in 'Yes, and?'
Grande's new song takes inspiration from Madonna's "Vogue," and the lyrics directly address how she feels about the onslaught of rumors and accusations regarding her new relationship with Ethan Slater.
"In case you haven't noticed / Well, everybody's tired," she sings in the first verse. "Now I'm so done with caring/ What you think, no I won't hide/ Underneath your own projections/ Or change my most authentic life."
In the verse of the song, Grande sings: "Don't comment on my body, do not reply/ Your business is yours and mine is mine/ Why do you care so much whose d**k I ride."
The "Side to Side" singer was accused of cheating on her ex-husband Dalton Gomez with her "Wicked" co-star, Slater, who also happened to be married at the time.
Several sources close to the couple denied the cheating allegations, and noted that both marriages were over before the two pursued a romantic relationship.
