“Yes, and?” serves as the inaugural track from Ariana Grande’s seventh studio album.
On the auspicious date of January 1, 2024, an AG7 registration link mysteriously surfaced in the bio section of Ariana Grande’s secondary Instagram account, @sweetener. In a peculiar turn of events, all previous posts on the page were expunged, making way for its transformation into a promotional hub for this single, complete with a pre-save link.

The world got its first inkling of the song’s title on January 4, 2024, when Ariana Grande was spotted traversing the streets of New York City donning a bespoke “yes, and?” sweatshirt. Renowned celebrity photographer Miles Diggs promptly shared a duo of photographs featuring the pop sensation in her enigmatic attire on Instagram. This sartorial move, which has become a hallmark of Grande’s, promptly piqued the curiosity of her ardent fanbase.
On January 7, 2024, Ariana Grande officially unveiled the single’s title, release date, and cover art through a carefully orchestrated Instagram post. Subsequent confirmation arrived from U.S. Radio Updater that the track had been meticulously crafted by Grande herself, in collaboration with her longstanding creative partners, Max Martin and ILYA. Furthermore, it was disclosed that the composition “heavily interpolates” Madonna’s iconic 1990 hit, “Vogue.”
Ariana Grande – Yes and ? LYRICS
[Verse 1]
In case you haven’t noticed
Well, everybody’s tired
And healin’ from somebody
Or somethin’ we don’t see just right
[Pre-Chorus]
Boy, come on, put your lipstick on (No one can tell you nothin’)
Come on and walk this way through the fire (Don’t care what’s on their mind)
And if you find yourself in a dark situation
Just turn on your light and be like
[Chorus]
“Yes, and?”
Say that shit with your chest, and
Be your own fuckin’ best friend
Say that shit with your chest
Keep moving like, “What’s next?”
“Yes, and?”
[Verse 2]
Now, I’m so done with caring
What you think, no, I won’t hide
Underneath your own projections
Or change my most authentic life
[Pre-Chorus]
Boy, come on, put your lipstick on (No one can tell you nothin’)
Come on and walk this way through the fire (Don’t care what’s on their mind)
And if you find yourself in a dark situation
Just turn on your light and be like
[Chorus]
“Yes, and?”
Say that shit with your chest, and
Be your own fuckin’ best friend
Say that shit with your chest
Keep moving like, “What’s next?”
“Yes, and?” (Yeah)
[Bridge]
My tongue is sacred, I speak upon what I like
Protected, sexy, discerning with my time (My time)
Your energy is yours and mine is mine (It’s mine, it’s mine)
What’s mine is mine
My face is sitting, I don’t need no disguise (I don’t need no disguise)
Don’t comment on my body, do not reply
Your business is yours and mine is mine
Why do you care so much whose **** I ride?
Why?
[Chorus]
“Yes, and?” (Yes, and?)
Say that shit with your chest, and (Say that shit with your chest)
Be your own fuckin’ best friend (Oh, be your own, be your own)
Say that shit with your chest (Say that shit with your chest, baby)
Keep moving like, “What’s next?”
“Yes, and?”
“Yes (Ooh), and?”
Say that shit with your chest (Ooh), and
Be your own fuckin’ best (Be your own) friend
Say that shit with your chest
Keep moving like, “What’s next?”
“Yes, and?” (Yeah)
