Listen to Ariana Grande's Unapologetic House Track, "yes, and?"

Ariana Grande is back with her first solo release in over three years, “yes, and?,” a vibrant house track out now via Republic Records.

With a four-on-the-floor beat and hip-shaking tempo of 119 BPM, the song’s uplifting house rhythm sets the stage for Grande’s sultry vocals. Her irresistibly danceable cadence and catchy lyrics are bound to get stuck in your head, and they likely will after she released extended and instrumental mixes for DJs and producers.

Channeling the unassailable bravado of Madonna, “yes, and?” is the lead single from the generational pop superstar’s upcoming seventh studio album, Eternal Sunshine. The release also marks a significant moment for house music as it further propels the genre into the mainstream after momentous dance albums by Beyoncé (2023’s Renaissance) and Drake (2022’s Honestly, Nevermind).

Beyond its infectious production, “yes, and?” functions as a fierce and powerful statement to the gossip-hungry general public. The song unapologetically conveys Grande’s message, a plea to respect her privacy and own her own narrative. In the face of ceaseless media balderdash and baseless rumors, “yes, and?” stands tall as an anthem of empowerment, encouraging fans to ignore those who can’t mind their own business.
