About This Song
Ariana Grande released "Dandelion" as a promotional single on September 4, 2025, from Eternal Sunshine Deluxe: Brighter Days Ahead, the reissue of her 2024 album Eternal Sunshine. Republic Records also issued a 7-inch vinyl of the song, backed with the B-side "Warm." Grande co-wrote and co-produced the track with Max Martin and Ilya Salmanzadeh, continuing her long-running collaboration with the Swedish hitmakers. The song blends a jazzy, trap-infused production with metaphorical lyrics that reflect on resilience and letting go. Critics praised the track's sonic evolution and lyrical depth, noting its departure from standard pop formulas. Commercially, "Dandelion" reached number 19 on the UK Singles Chart and cracked the top 40 in Ireland, New Zealand, and the Philippines, while also charting on the US Billboard Hot 100 and Global 200.
The official music video, directed by Christian Breslauer, was released on September 9, 2025. It uses the dandelion as a central visual metaphor, depicting Grande in a series of dreamlike vignettes. As of late 2025, the video has accumulated over 18 million views on YouTube. The song quickly became a fan favorite, with the phrase "blow away, dandelion" trending on TikTok as users created videos about letting go of past relationships or personal struggles. The track also appeared in the soundtrack for the 2025 Netflix film The Last Summer.
