Ariana Grandeis on to the next!
On Friday, the Grammy winner, 30, dropped her latest single, “Yes, And?”
“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,” she sings, later adding: “Don’t comment on my body, do not reply / Your business is yours and mine is mine / Why do you care so much whose [d—] I ride / Why?”
