Ariana Grande Unveils ‘Hate That I Made You Love Me’: Stream It Now
The first taste of Petal has finally arrived.
Ariana Grande’s Petal era has officially commenced.
On Friday (May 29), the Grammy-winning superstar released “Hate That I Made You Love Me,” the lead single from her forthcoming eighth studio album, Petal.
“I know that I will find my way from you like flowers from a tomb,” the vocal powerhouse croons on her new single, which was co-produced by Max Martin, ILYA and Grande herself. Listed as the second track on Petal, “Hate That I Made You Love Me” also marks Grande’s first non-soundtrack single since 2025’s “Twilight Zone.”
Grande first announced Petal via her official Instagram page on April 28, later describing the 12-track set as “little feral.” “It’s definitely from a place I’ve been maybe too shy or polite to tap into before,” she said in a video clip. “This kind of just feels like, ‘F–k it.’” Petal is set to arrive on July 31 through Grande’s BabyDoll Music imprint label, exclusively licensed to Republic Records. The new album drops in the middle of her Eternal Sunshine Tour, which kicks off on June 8 in Oakland, Calif., and wraps with 10 shows at London’s O2 Arena in September.
On Wednesday (May 27), Grande shared a creepy new teaser for the official music video for “Hate That I Made You Love Me.” The clip opened with Weapons actor Justin Long peering into the rearview mirror, slightly adjusting it to reveal Grande’s piercing brown eyes staring back at his frightened face. The full video is set to premiere on Monday, June 1 at 8 a.m. PT.
Petal is the official follow-up to Grande’s last LP, Eternal Sunshine, which debuted atop the Billboard 200 in 2024 and spawned a pair of Billboard Hot 100 chart-toppers in “Yes, And?” and “We Can’t Be Friends.” Notably, the album returned to the top of the Billboard 200 the following year after the release of its Brighter Days Ahead deluxe edition, which spawned the Hot 100 top 20 hit “Twilight Zone” (No. 18).
Since that album’s release, Grande joined fellow Oscar-nominated actress Cynthia Erivo in leading the Wicked and Wicked: For Good soundtracks, which both reached No. 2 on the Hot 100. At this year’s Grammys (Feb. 1), the two multihyphenates won best pop duo/group performance for their instant-classic rendition of “Defying Gravity.” Grande will return to the silver screen this fall with Focker-in-Law, alongside Robert DeNiro and Ben Stiller.
