Ariana Grande has announced the first single from her upcoming album will be released later this month.
The 32-year-old pop star revealed the name of the first track, Hate That I Made You Love Me, from her eagerly-anticipated eighth studio album Petal, in a post to her 364 million followers on Instagram on Friday.
The chart-topper shared a black-and white photograph of herself smiling, and a close-up snapshot of her amongst flowers – which is the cover art for the single, and ties in with the upcoming record’s floral theme.
Grande wrote: “Hate That I Made You Love Me. My first single off of Petal. 5.29.
“One of my favourite songs I’ll ever write, produced by my favourite 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.”
Fans have flooded the comment section of her social media post with excitement, joined by stars such as American actress Rachel Zegler.
Last week, Grande announced on social media that Petal will be released on July 31.
The 12-track record is available to pre-order from the singer’s website, and comes just over a year after she released Eternal Sunshine Deluxe: Brighter Days Ahead.
Grande is also set to embark on her The Eternal Sunshine tour in June, with performances scheduled in Los Angeles, New York, Boston, Chicago and Montreal before 10 shows at London’s O2 Arena in August and September.
Little is known about the upcoming record, however it follows on from the singer’s big screen appearance in the film adaptation of the musical Wicked alongside Cynthia Erivo and Jonathan Bailey.
Grande played Glinda in the blockbuster, which was split into two films, and won her first Oscar nomination in the best supporting actress category.
The Grammy-award winner rose to fame after starring in the hit Nickelodeon series Victorious and its spin-off Sam And Cat.
She later pivoted into music, with her career taking off in 2013 following the release of her debut album Yours Truly.

Grande has since had seven number one singles in the UK, including with 7 Rings, Thank U, Next, and Positions, as well as five number one UK albums – including her 2024 album Eternal Sunshine.
She also stars in Focker-In-Law, the upcoming fourth instalment of the Meet The Parents franchise, which follows the antics of Greg Focker (Ben Stiller) as he tries to win over his father-in-law, retired CIA operative Jack Byrnes (Robert De Niro).
The film, which is due to be released in November, marks the return of the franchise after 16 years.
