With less than a month to go before Eternal Sunshine takes over the world (Mar. 8), Ariana Grande is keeping her attention on âYes, And?â â and sheâs tapped a certifiable legend to breathe new life into the song. Marking their second official collaboration, Ariana Grande and Mariah Carey have teamed up for a new âYes, And?â remix.
Released to digital streaming platforms on Friday (Feb. 16), the new version of Grandeâs latest Billboard Hot 100 chart-topper arrives after a few days of teasing via her official Instagram page, Careyâs official Instagram page, and the @sweetener account Grande has been relaying album-related news on since 2018.
After teasing a special announcement via her Instagram Story earlier this week (Feb. 13), Grande confirmed Careyâs appearance on the âYes, And?â remix with a Feb. 14 post captioned, âThank you from the bottom of my heart for this dream come true and for sprinkling your brilliance and magic on my little song @mariahcarey. [It] means more to me than [I] could ever possibly articulate and [I] cannot wait for everyone to hear this! [I] love you eternally!!!!!!!â

Mariah returned the love in Grandeâs comment section, writing, âDarling angel, I am so effing excited to be joining you on the yes, and? remix!! This is such a magical moment!! Love you â€ïž MC.â
The two vocal powerhouses first team up for a track back in 2020. Alongside EGOT winner Jennifer Hudson, Carey and Grande updated âOh Santa!â â a single from Careyâs Merry Christmas II You (2010). That track, which delighted fans in its union of two artists (Carey and Grande) than have been unfairly pit against each other in the past, came complete with a glitzy music video. The three divas delivered the first joint live performance at the song last month (Dec. 9) at Madison Square Garden during the New York stop on Careyâs Merry Christmas One & All! tour.
In January (chart dated Jan. 27), âYes, And?â debuted atop the Hot 100, marking Grandeâs eighth career No. 1 single. The house-indebted bop serves as the lead single from Eternal Sunshine, her forthcoming seventh solo studio album, which serves as her first LP since 2020âs Billboard 200-topping Positions.

No need to traverse a boulevard a broken dreams, a new Green Day album has finally arrived. Nearly four years since their last studio LP â 2020âs Father of All⊠â the iconic rockers are back with a brand new set featuring a slew of singles including the Rock Airplay chart-topper âThe American Dream Is […]
Ariana Grande is back â and she has some things to say.
On Friday, Jan. 12, the pop star returned with her inquisitive and gleaming new single âYes, And?â The song serves as the first taste of Grandeâs forthcoming seventh album.
Inspired by late â80s dance-pop production, the catchy track is made all the better by Grandeâs unshakeable confidence and comfort in her own skin. âYes, and? Say that sâ with your chest, and, be your own fâing best friend,â she instructs, seeming to lead by example.

The overall message is loud and clear: sheâs seen the comments, and sheâs not taking sâ from anybody.
âIâm so done with caring what you think, no I wonât hide underneath your own projections or change my most authentic life,â she sings in a soft and syrupy sweet tone, evoking a âkill âem with kindnessâ energy.
And later, during a spoken word interlude, Ari even declares: âYour energy is yours and mine is mineâŠdonât comment on my body, do not reply.â
And while her message is firm, the upbeat and retro production is less so, helping drive home Grandeâs laid back, carefree attitude. Written and produced by the pop star alongside Max Martin and Ilya Salmanzadeh, the thumping and rallying chorus is prime for a dancefloor â there are even elements that call back to Madonnaâs âVogue,â which could very well be a tease to the albumâs overall sound).
Yesterday, on Thursday, Jan. 11, Grande released a teaser clip to the songâs visual. It opened with a hand holding a red card that read âAG7.â The other side of the card read: âYour presence has been exclusively requested.â
The clip then cuts to various voices saying things like: âYou know, I think I liked her better when her ponytail was a few centimeters higherâ; âI mean, who cares if sheâs happy? I donât want happy. I want Ari.â; and ââWell, I read it on the Internet, so it must be true!â
âYes, And?â is a direct response to such critiques. And in typical Ariana fashion, she leans into one of her greatest strengths: being oh so sweet.

Kali Uchis and Karol G set the scene ablaze with âLabios Mordidosâ (Bite Lips) on Friday (Nov. 24), marking their second collaboration following the success of âMe Tengo Que Irâ from Karolâs Mañana Sera Bonita (Bichota Season) earlier this year.
Produced by Manuel Lara and Albert Hype, the sweltering reggaeton cut sees the two Colombian femmes fatale indulging in risquĂ© flirtation. âThe girl is on fire and sticks to me like a tattoo/ I guarantee thereâs no one harder than you,â Kali seductively croons in Spanish. Meanwhile, Karol responds with her hushed coo: âI guarantee thereâs no one more chimba than you ⊠The baby is aggressive with that cute face/ That tattoo on her back left me breathless.â
âIâm so excited for the Kuchis to finally have one of my favorite songs on OrquĂdeas with one of my favorite artists Karol,â Uchis said in a statement. âI hope this brings everyone lots of holiday cheer and you make plenty of memories going into the new year with this song!â
During Karol Gâs opening performance of the 2023 Billboard Music Awards on Sunday (Nov. 19), La Bichota teased fans with a snippet of the song.Â
As anticipation builds for Uchisâ fourth album, OrquĂdeas, due Jan. 12, âLabiosâ emerges as the third single, offering a tantalizing preview of whatâs to come. The song follows the vintage bolero-style song âTe Mataâ and the Dominican dembow of âMuñekitaâ with El Alfa and JT.
âThe orchid is the national flower of Colombia, and we have more species of orchid than anywhere on earth,â Uchis said last month. âI always felt distinctly intrigued and magnetized by the flower. This album is inspired by the timeless, eerie, mystic, striking, graceful and sensual allure of the orchid. With this vast scope of fresh energy, I wish to redefine the way we look at Latinas in music.â
The album will feature more collaborations, including with Peso Pluma, Rauw Alejandro and more. OrquĂdeas is Kali Uchisâ second all-Spanish release.Â
Kali Uchis entered a total of six Billboard Year-End Charts, including the Top Latin Artists chart at No. 32 and Top R&B Artists at No. 11. In October, the Colombian-American singer-songwriter concluded her Red Moon in Venus Tour with sold-out performances across the U.S.
