Yes, And?

Ariana Grande's 2024 single "Yes, And?" arrived as the first taste of her album Eternal Sunshine, dropping January 12th. This track leans into house music rhythms with a distinct pop sensibility, even incorporating elements that nod to ballroom culture. The song's core message is about maintaining self-assurance and protecting one's peace, especially when faced with relentless public scrutiny. Grande herself co-wrote and co-produced the song, working with familiar collaborators Max Martin and Ilya Salmanzadeh.

The reception for "Yes, And?" was strong, both critically and commercially. It entered the U.S. Billboard Hot 100 at number one, marking Grande's eighth chart-topper and her sixth song to debut in the top spot. Globally, the track also found significant success, hitting number one in eleven countries and reaching the top ten in twenty-eight others. A remix featuring Mariah Carey was later released, adding another layer of star power to the already popular single. The song's accompanying music video, directed by Christian Breslauer, was also noted for its creative direction and performance elements. [edit]
