Ariana Grande has announced a new single called Yes, And? – which will be released on January 12th.

The 30-year-old American singer, who is starring in the upcoming film adaptation of musical Wicked, posted a blurred photo of her face to Instagram on Sunday captioned: “yes, and? 1.12.”

This will be the first solo piece of music she has come out with since her 2020 album Positions, and the deluxe 2021 version which included a new single called Test Drive.

On the Ariana Grande shop website, the single is available to purchase as a CD for £3.99 with shipping starting from January 15.

The track list is formed of the single only and the CD comes in a gatefold wallet.

The Positions singer also posted a link to her Instagram which takes viewers to a page where you can pre-save the song on Spotify or pre-add it on Apple Music.

Before she announced the single, the star had been captured walking around in New York while wearing a sweatshirt with the words “yes, and?” printed on the front.

In another hint to fans, some days prior on December 27th the star posted a selection of photos to her Instagram,  some of which showed her in a recording studio.

She captioned the post: “See you next year.”

Her last album was released more than three years ago.

Grande has released a number of other albums, including Yours Truly (2013), Dangerous Woman (2016) and Thank U Next (2019).
