- Ariana Grande presented her 2023 album Eternal Sunshine to Republic Records, describing it as vulnerable and introspective.
- Ariana Grande announced her upcoming eighth studio album Petal, due July 31, via an Instagram video, calling it “a little feral” and a break from her previous shyness.
- Ariana Grande said Petal is about “breaking up with negative attachments” and serves as a writing experiment for listeners to apply to their own lives.
