Just a few weeks after Ariana Grande [1] blessed us with the iconic music video for "Thank U, Next," [2] she's back at it again, releasing another single from her upcoming fifth album [3]. Titled "Imagine," the brand-new track has a slowed-down tempo and shows Grande's vulnerable side, as she longingly sings, "Love how my face fits so good in your neck. Why can't you imagine a world like that?"
Leading up to the song's release at midnight on Dec. 14, Grande shared a message about its meaning on her Instagram Stories, writing, "For those of you asking about imagine: I would say if 'thank u, next" = acceptance... 'imagine' = denial. Hope that makes sense." The 25-year-old singer also responded to a fan's tweet about the track [5], explaining that it's "kind of like... pretending it never ended" — the "it" being a relationship. Watch the captivating lyric video above to hear the entire catchy song, or play it on Spotify [6], Apple Music [7], or iTunes [8]; you'll definitely have it stuck in your head for the rest of the week.
