Ariana Grande has shared “Hate That I Made You Love Me,” the lead single of new album Petal. The song was co-written and produced by Grande, Ilya, and Max Martin, and comes with a comic book-inspired lyric video. Listen below.
Grande’s Eternal Sunshine follow-up, due July 31 via Republic, is executive produced and co-written by Grande and Ilya, the Swedish superproducer who has worked closely with Grande since her 2014 breakout with “Problem.” The album, Grande says, is akin to “something that is full of life and growing through the cracks of something cold and hard and challenging.”
Petal follows Grande’s return to the stage this summer—her first major tour in seven years kicks off in June—after a series of screen appearances that includes her starring roles in the Wicked franchise and Focker-in-Law, the latest instalment in the Meet the Parents franchise. Earlier this month, she shared a previously unreleased outtake from Dangerous Woman, “Knew Better Part Two.”
