Ariana Grande eventually discussed the ‘emotional’ writing behind her new anlbum, ‘Eternal Sunshine,’ and why she won’t release another single before the album drops.
Ariana Grande admits her album is “incredibly human” in that it is tied to her life and the “heartbreak” of her divorce.
She says her new album chronicles her hardest moments of loss and grief, she also revealed that the inspirational song will be released on march 8.
Ahead of the release of her seventh studio album, Eternal Sunshine, in March, Ariana Grande has opened up about the experiences and emotions that informed the record's music.
Speaking on The Zach Sang Show, Grande explained that the heartbreak which resulted from her 2023 divorce from real estate agent Dalton Gomez inspired the record, and that the pain of the experience accelerated her return to the studio.
She admitted that she cried writing it and said it will chronicle her 'hardest moments of loss and grief' but insisted that it was not a revenge record.
In her words _'I wrote some of [the songs] when I was very emotional. And then there are bops that are more fun. Actually, even some of the bops I cried writing,’ she said. ‘I wanted to make sure that it was what I intended, which, even at my most heartbroken or pained moments of the past few years, there was so much kindness, there was so much love, there was so much honesty, transparency and respect. So even at the hardest moments of the loss and the grief that you hear on some of the album, there was so much love and transparency.'
She continued: 'It wasn’t like a ‘F**k you’ at all, ever. That was a tricky balance for me because I definitely had some sessions where I was writing more emotionally and reactively, but that’s also very human, so I didn’t want to erase all of it.'
