Good news, Arianators: Our favorite pop girl is releasing a new track. More than a week after unveiling the artwork and release date for her upcoming studio album, Petal<\/em>, Ariana Grande announced on Friday that her first single, \u201cHate That I Made You Love Me,\u201d will debut on May 29.<\/p>\n Grande unveiled the news on Instagram, posting two black-and-white portraits of herself in the same vein as her Petal <\/em>album artwork.<\/p>\n \u201cOne of my favorite songs i\u2019ll ever write produced by my favorite collaborators and dearest human beings in the world, the brilliant [Ilya Salmanzadeh], the one and only max martin (and me) i simply cannot wait for it to be yours,\u201d Grande wrote.<\/p>\n The Wicked <\/em>star first announced her eighth studio album<\/a>, out July 31, last month, alongside a series of photos<\/a> to mark her new era of music. Playing on the fact that this will be her eighth studio album, Grande officially announced its upcoming release on April 28 at 8 a.m. PT. She also shared an album teaser titled \u201cPetal in the Pavement\u201d<\/a> that same day.<\/p>\n Petal <\/em>will feature 12 tracks and is produced by Grande and her longtime collaborators Martin, Salmanzadeh and Peter Lee Johnson. The album will be released under BabyDoll Music, Grande\u2019s personal sub-label with Republic Records.<\/p>\n \u201cIt\u2019s called \u2018Petal,\u2019 basically about something that is full of life, growing through the cracks of something cold, hard and challenging. It\u2019s kind of about breaking up with all different kinds of negative attachments \u2014 whether it\u2019s my own monsters in my own head, external voices and things that no longer serve me,\u201d Grande said in an Instagram reel. \u201cIt\u2019s a little feral as well. It\u2019s definitely from a place that I have been too shy or polite to tap into before. And this just kinda feels like, \u2018f**k it.\u2019\u201d<\/p>\n That Grande named the upcoming album Petal <\/em>doesn\u2019t exactly come as a surprise to some of her fans, who are familiar with the singer\u2019s Vogue Italy cover story<\/a> from last March, in which she shared a poignant metaphor<\/a>: \u201cI am a flower that continues to grow with new petals, leaves, buds. But I am still learning to water it.\u201d The title was also subtly mentioned in a promotional video for Grande\u2019s makeup brand, R.E.M. Beauty<\/a>, in February, when she and her mother, Joan, introduced new lip glosses, including one called Petal.<\/p>\n Ahead of the album\u2019s debut, Grande will kick off her Eternal Sunshine tour<\/a>, her first in seven years. Starting June 6, she\u2019ll be on the road for about two months, playing a series of sold-out shows through North America before closing with 10 shows at London\u2019s famed O2 Arena.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
