Tonight, the singer debuted \u201cHate That I Made You Love Me,\u201d the first single off her <a rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.elle.com\/culture\/music\/a70973717\/ariana-grande-eighth-album-news-release-date-details\/\" target=\"_self\" data-vars-ga-outbound-link=\"https:\/\/www.elle.com\/culture\/music\/a70973717\/ariana-grande-eighth-album-news-release-date-details\/\" data-vars-ga-ux-element=\"Hyperlink\" data-vars-ga-call-to-action=\"upcoming album, Petal\" data-node-id=\"0.1\" class=\"body-link css-1xnf0nh emevuu60\">upcoming album, <em data-node-id=\"0.1.1\">Petal<\/em><\/a>.<\/p>\n<p data-journey-content=\"true\" data-node-id=\"1\" class=\"css-6wxqfj emevuu60\">At first, Grande appears to express her regret over a relationship in the song, with lyrics like this in the chorus: \u201cHate that I made you love me \/ Sorry if I made me your type.\u201d But as the song progresses, it also seems to reflect her complicated feelings about fame and being a public figure who is both adored and disparaged. She sings in the bridge:<\/p>\n<blockquote data-node-id=\"2\" class=\"body-blockquote css-ycxp91 emevuu60\"><p>I\u2019ve held your projections when you\u2019ve felt so insecure<br data-node-id=\"2.1\"\/>Tell me why is it this way<br data-node-id=\"2.3\"\/>Why you so hate to see women endure<br data-node-id=\"2.5\"\/>Is it really my fault<br data-node-id=\"2.7\"\/>You all gave me your hearts<br data-node-id=\"2.9\"\/>Of your own accord?<br data-node-id=\"2.11\"\/>I don\u2019t really think so<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p data-journey-content=\"true\" data-node-id=\"3\" class=\"css-6wxqfj emevuu60\">It\u2019s an apt preview for <em data-node-id=\"3.1\">Petal<\/em>, which Grande previously described as \u201csomething that is full of life and growing through the cracks of something cold and hard and challenging.\u201d The album drops on July 31, arriving just over two years after <em data-node-id=\"3.3\">Eternal Sunshine<\/em>, in which she seemed to explore the end of her marriage to Dalton Gomez, newfound romance with Ethan Slater, and the onslaught of public discourse around her personal life.<\/p>\n<p data-journey-content=\"true\" data-node-id=\"5\" class=\"css-6wxqfj emevuu60\">It\u2019s unclear who exactly inspired \u201cHate That I Made You Love Me,\u201d but what we do know is that Grande is incredibly proud of the track. Recently on Instagram, she called it \u201cone of my favorite songs I\u2019ll ever write\u201d and shouted out her co-writers Ilya Salmanzadeh and Max Martin, who previously collaborated with the singer on records like <em data-node-id=\"5.1\">Eternal Sunshine,<\/em> <em data-node-id=\"5.3\">Thank U, Next<\/em>, and many more.<\/p>\n<p data-journey-content=\"true\" data-node-id=\"7\" class=\"css-6wxqfj emevuu60\">In addition to releasing <em data-node-id=\"7.1\">Petal<\/em>, Grande will also embark on tour on June 6 and then star in the film <em data-node-id=\"7.3\">Focker-in-Law<\/em> in November. Needless to say, it\u2019s going to be another big year for her.<\/p>\n<p data-journey-content=\"true\" data-node-id=\"8\" class=\"css-6wxqfj emevuu60\">Read the full lyrics to \u201cHate That I Made You Love Me\u201d below.<\/p>\n<blockquote data-node-id=\"10\" class=\"body-blockquote css-ycxp91 emevuu60\"><p>I can\u2019t tell you why<br data-node-id=\"10.1\"\/>But something inside<br data-node-id=\"10.3\"\/>Is dancing with fire<br data-node-id=\"10.5\"\/>Eyes lit like the sky<br data-node-id=\"10.7\"\/>Turned tears into diamonds<br data-node-id=\"10.9\"\/>Got good at goodbyes<\/p>\n<p>Just know that I will find my way from you<br data-node-id=\"10.14\"\/>Like flowers from a tomb<br data-node-id=\"10.16\"\/>While you decide who you are<br data-node-id=\"10.18\"\/>And I can see right through<br data-node-id=\"10.20\"\/>Like shadows on the moon<br data-node-id=\"10.22\"\/>And it\u2019s all bad news<\/p>\n<p>Yeah I I I<br data-node-id=\"10.27\"\/>Hate that I made you love me<br data-node-id=\"10.29\"\/>Sorry if I made me your type<br data-node-id=\"10.31\"\/>Yeah I I hate that I made you love me<br data-node-id=\"10.33\"\/>Cause I barely tried<\/p>\n<p>What\u2019s happening now?<br data-node-id=\"10.38\"\/>You studied my crown<br data-node-id=\"10.40\"\/>And borrowed my body<br data-node-id=\"10.42\"\/>Warm, kissed by the sun<br data-node-id=\"10.44\"\/>Then cold like the wind<br data-node-id=\"10.46\"\/>A bee stuck in honey<\/p>\n<p>Know that I will find my way from you<br data-node-id=\"10.51\"\/>I guess it\u2019s kinda cute<br data-node-id=\"10.53\"\/>How you like me where you are<br data-node-id=\"10.55\"\/>But I can see right through<br data-node-id=\"10.57\"\/>Just don\u2019t eclipse the moon<br data-node-id=\"10.59\"\/>Cause it\u2019s all bad news<\/p>\n<p>Yeah I I I<br data-node-id=\"10.64\"\/>Hate that I made you love me<br data-node-id=\"10.66\"\/>Sorry if I made me your type<br data-node-id=\"10.68\"\/>Yeah I I hate that I made you love me<br data-node-id=\"10.70\"\/>Cause I barely tried<\/p>\n<p>I\u2019ve held your projections when you\u2019ve felt so insecure<br data-node-id=\"10.75\"\/>Tell me why is it this way<br data-node-id=\"10.77\"\/>Why you so hate to see women endure<br data-node-id=\"10.79\"\/>Is it really my fault<br data-node-id=\"10.81\"\/>You all gave me your hearts<br data-node-id=\"10.83\"\/>Of your own accord?<br data-node-id=\"10.85\"\/>I don\u2019t really think so<\/p>\n<p>I I I<br data-node-id=\"10.90\"\/>Hate that I made you love me<br data-node-id=\"10.92\"\/>Sorry if I made me your type<br data-node-id=\"10.94\"\/>Yeah I I hate that I made you love me<br data-node-id=\"10.96\"\/>Cause I barely tried<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<\/div>\n<p><em> \u2018 The preceding article may include information circulated by third parties \u2019 <\/em><\/p>\n<p><em> \u2018 Some details of this article were extracted from the following source www.elle.com \u2019 <\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>A new Ariana Grande music era is officially upon us.
