Ariana Grande Announces ‘Brighter Days Ahead’ Short Film for ‘Eternal Sunshine’ Deluxe
Written by djfrosty on March 12, 2025
Earlier this week, Ariana Grande announced a deluxe version of her Eternal Sunshine album — but it turns out she had more tricks up her sleeve. On Wednesday (March 12), the pop star revealed that she also has a short film coming the same day as the expanded LP titled Brighter Days Ahead.
Sharing the news on Instagram, Grande posted a seconds-long teaser for the project. In the clip, a robotic voice says, “Welcome back, Peaches” — a reference to her character’s name in the Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind-inspired “We Can’t Be Friends (Wait for Your Love)” music video — before a marble ominously spirals down a silver structure toward the camera.
“brighter days ahead, the short film also coming 3.28,” the Grammy winner wrote in her caption, confirming that the visual will arrive the same day Eternal Sunshine Deluxe: Brighter Days Ahead drops.
Grande also tagged director Christian Breslauer in the post. The creative previously helmed the music video shoots for Eternal Sunshine singles “Yes, And?,” “We Can’t Be Friends” and “The Boy Is Mine.”
The Wicked star first dropped Eternal Sunshine, her seventh studio LP, in March 2024. The album spent two weeks at No. 1 on the Billboard 200.
On Monday (March 10), Grande confirmed that a proper deluxe edition was finally on its way after months of teasing its existence and shared its ethereal cover art, which features the vocalist levitating toward a beam of light in the center of a black background. The expanded version of Eternal Sunshine come about five months after she released a “slightly deluxe” version of the album, featuring live recordings and remixes of “Yes, And?” with Mariah Carey, “Supernatural” with Troye Sivan and “The Boy Is Mine” with Brandy and Monica.
