Ariana Grande is planting the seeds for her Petal era to begin. The pop superstar announced on Friday (May 8) that her upcoming eighth studio album’s lead single is titled “Hate That I Made You Love Me,” and it’s set to blossom in just a few weeks.
Sharing the track’s black-and-white artwork — a closeup photo of Grande’s face with her hair falling over her eyes, similar to the Petal cover art — the singer wrote on Instagram, “hate that i made you love me … my first single off of petal.”
Calling it “one of my favorite songs i’ll ever write,” Grande revealed that she co-produced “Hate That I Made You Love Me” with Max Martin and ILYA, whom she called “my favorite collaborators and dearest human beings in the world.”

“i simply cannot wait for it to be yours,” the Grammy winner added.
The new song will drop on May 29, about two months before Petal arrives at the end of July. The project will follow up 2024’s Eternal Sunshine, which topped the Billboard 200 and spawned two No. 1 hits on the Billboard Hot 100: “Yes, And?” and “We Can’t Be Friends (Wait for Your Love).”
The day prior to announcing “Hate That I Made You Love Me,” Grande gave fans more details about the new album by sharing a video of herself discussing its themes with her team. “It’s a little feral,” she said in the clip. “It’s definitely from a place I’ve been maybe too shy or polite to tap into before. This kind of just feels like, ‘F–k it.’”
