Ariana Grande hints at the beginning of her ‘Eternal Sunshine’ album cycle

Ariana Grande has confirmed that fans can expect sunny skies for the indefinite future. Exactly one month after dropping her seventh studio album Eternal Sunshine, the 30-year-old pop star shared a behind-the-scenes video of her in the studio and revealed that she’s definitely not done promoting the project — in fact, she’s only just getting started. 

In the clip, which the singer posted to TikTok Monday (April 8), Grande sits at her computer with a microphone in hand, recording various background vocals and counter melodies as she works on Eternal Sunshine’s title track.  

“eternal sunshine bridge melody passes 🥹(i came back to fine tune the structure and write the lyrics the next afternoon),” she captioned the post. “happy one month of eternal sunshine.”

“i cannot wait for everything that has yet to come within this eternal sunshine cycle (that has only just begun & may it never end),” Grande added. “thank you for your love.” 

The R.E.M. Beauty founder released her latest record March 8, immediately topping the Billboard 200 for two weeks. Apart from music videos for the singles “Yes, And?” and “We Can’t Be Friends” — both of which debuted at No. 1 on the Billboard Hot 100 – as well as performances on Saturday Night Live the weekend of Eternal Sunshine’s release, Grande has kept her promo for the album quite minimal so far, leaving fans hungry for more. 

The Wicked star also sat for two interviews about the Max Martin-produced project in March: one with Zach Sang and the other with Apple Music 1’s Zane Lowe. On The Zach Sang Show, she touched on a topic that weaves a common thread through Eternal Sunshine – frustration with the public scrutinizing her relationships, be it with ex-husband Dalton Gomez or boyfriend Ethan Slater. 

“We don’t need to go into any specifics, but of course there’s an insatiable frustration, an inexplicable hellish feeling with watching people misunderstand the people you love, and you,” she said at the time. “It was definitely the most emotional writing process, for sure.”
