Eternal Sunshine is the seventh studio album by American singer Ariana Grande. It was released on March 8, 2024, by Republic Records. Primarily a pop and R&B album with dance music influences, Eternal Sunshine is characterized by mid-tempo synthesizers, subtle guitar and string elements. It was written and produced by Grande, Max Martin, Ilya Salmanzadeh, and Oscar Görres, amongst others.

The album's lead single, "Yes, And?", was released on January 12, 2024; it debuted atop the Billboard Hot 100 as Grande's eighth number-one song in the United States. The second single, "We Can't Be Friends (Wait for Your Love)", was released in tandem with the album.

Grande derived the album title from the 2004 romantic drama film Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind. She conceived the album as a record of both vulnerability and entertainment. She promoted and discussed the album on programs hosted by radio personalities Zach Sang and Zane Lowe and is set to be the musical guest of Saturday Night Live on March 9, 2024.

Background

Max Martin produced 11 tracks on Eternal Sunshine

On May 12, 2022, 19 months after the release of her sixth studio album, Positions (2020), Ariana Grande clarified that she would not be recording another album until she is done filming Wicked (2024), the film adaptation of the Broadway musical of the same name, in which she portrays the character Glinda.[3] In October 2023, she first jokingly hinted at a forthcoming album by posting "ag7: goat mother" as an Instagram caption.[4] A set of pictures included a photo of her with Swedish producer and long-time collaborator Max Martin at Jungle City Studios in New York City.[5]

On December 7 and December 17, Grande shared a series of pictures and video clips working in recording studios and her editing audio files.[6] As opposed to previous eras, she specifically stated that there would be no song snippets for the upcoming record.[7] On December 27, the singer confirmed a 2024 album release via her social media.[8] She posted a carousel of videos on her Instagram that show her crying in a recording studio and her mother Joan dancing to a new song of hers, amongst others.[9] She captioned the post "See you next year" and tagged several accounts, including Swedish musician Ilya Salmanzadeh, music video director Christian Breslauer, and Republic Records.[10][11] She referred to the picture of her crying and another one which depicts her dancing as the "two moods of the album".[11] Packages with R.E.M. Beauty's On Your Collar lipstick in the shade "Attention" including a defocused close-up shot of Grande's red lips and the caption of an Instagram post she would make a few days after delivery, were sent to fans.[12][10]

On January 17, 2024, Grande announced the album, its title Eternal Sunshine, and release date via her social media.[13]

Conception

Grande described Eternal Sunshine as "kind of a concept album" comprising "different heightened pieces of the same story, of the same experience".[14] She explained that the record spans from "really vulnerable" songs to playful tracks which see her emulating "what people kind of expect me to be sometimes and having fun with it."[14]

Wendy Goldstein, co-president of Republic Records, described the record as an "elevated version" of Grande's previous albums, calling it an embodiment of "Sweetener meets [...] Thank U, Next".[15][16]

Recording and production

In a video shared to her social media of her previewing some songs of the album to Republic Records personnel, Grande revealed that she "came [to the studio]" and begun work on the record in September 2023—after the SAG-AFTRA strike forced the filming of Wicked to be paused temporarily.[1] She further revealed that she worked with Max Martin for a few weeks, and handled production on her own as well.[1] "Proper" vocal recordings and orchestrations were arranged in November.[2] Work on the album concluded in late December 2023.[8]

Referring to the period of making Eternal Sunshine, Grande stated that "things [were] kind of just pouring out and happening very quickly".[14]

Composition

Eternal Sunshine is a pop and R&B album[17] that features elements of dance music.[18] Helen Brown of The Independent described it as a "slow-fizz pop" album, consisting of mid-tempo synths, strings and muted guitar.[19] Jem Aswad of Variety felt that Martin and Salmanzadeh imbued the album with a "very Swedish vibe and structure to the tracks" inspired by classic pop, a style atypical of "Anglo-American" musicians.[20]

Release and promotion

Republic Records released Eternal Sunshine on March 8, 2024.[21] It was issued via streaming, download, five CD variants, and six vinyl LP variants.[22] Pre-orders began on January 17, the day the album was announced.[23]

Marketing

The tracklist of the album was not unveiled entirely at once. Grande revealed song titles and their track order on separate days, starting on January 27, 2024, with tracks 1, 5, and "Yes, And?" as track 9.[24] Tracks 2, 6, and 10 were revealed on February 7,[25] followed by tracks 3, 7, and 11 on February 17,[26] and tracks 4, 8, 12, and 13 on February 27.[27] Additionally, Grande revealed some lyrics from the album via her social media on February 27.[28] A teaser for the album, featuring the singer at a photo shoot for one of the cover artworks, was released on March 6, 2024.[29]

Grande appeared on the Zach Sang Show for a double-episode interview to discuss the album. The first episode was released on February 27, 2024, and was centered around the creative process.[30] The second episode will be released on March 8, wherein Grande details each song.[31] She also appeared on Apple Music 1 for an interview by Zane Lowe, which was broadcast on March 7, 2024.[32]

Title and artwork

The title of the album is a reference to the film Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind (2004).[33] It stars Jim Carrey, who Grande has expressed she's a fan of and whose show, Kidding, she had guest-starred on.[34] The title Eternal Sunshine was teased via two Easter eggs. The first was in the opening scene of the music video of the lead single, "Yes, And?". It depicts a red card that has the acronym "AG7" on the frontside, with the geographical coordinates 41.0359° N, 71.9545° W mentioned below it—which locate Montauk, New York, a key location of the film.[35] The second was when Grande shared a few lines of Alexander Pope's poem Eloisa to Abelard on her Instagram, including: "Eternal sunshine of the spotless mind!".[36]

Seven cover variants of Eternal Sunshine were issued: a standard vinyl cover, four DTC variations via Grande's website, a retail-exclusive CD cover (which also serves as the "Yes, And? single artwork), and a Target-exclusive in the United States.[22][37][38] The digital cover depicts the back of Grande's head, with her dressed in a white outfit and her blonde hair styled in a ponytail, resting on the shoulder of a similarly dressed woman that is "a clone of herself".[39] Three covers, and the "Yes, And?" cover, were unveiled with the album's announcement.[40] The remaining three alternate covers were revealed throughout January and February.[41][42][26] Through the promotional material of the album, Grande sports a Maison Margiela outfit—a white bodysuit and a pair of red tulle gloves.[29] She stated that the different artworks "capture the emotional ups and downs of the album".[42]

Singles

"Yes, And?", the lead single of Eternal Sunshine, was released on January 12, 2024, via streaming services.[43] It was also issued in 7-inch, CD single and cassette formats.[44] The song's accompanying music video, directed by Christian Breslauer, was released on the same day via Grande's Vevo channel on YouTube.[45] The title of the song was teased by Grande days before release when she was photographed wearing a sweatshirt with the title printed on the front.[46] "Yes, And?" debuted atop the Billboard Hot 100, marking Grande's eighth number-one single in the US.[47] It also topped the Global 200, Global Excl. US,[48] and Canadian Hot 100;[49] and reached the top five in Australia,[50] Ireland,[51] New Zealand,[52] and the United Kingdom.[53] Multiple versions and mixes of the song were released,[54][55] including a remix featuring Mariah Carey in February.[56]

On February 5, Grande announced via her social media that no more pre-release singles would follow "Yes, And?". Before releasing the next singles, she reasoned, she wanted fans to "experience [Eternal Sunshine] in full this time".[57]

"We Can't Be Friends (Wait for Your Love)" was released on March 8, 2024 as the second single from the album, with an accompanying music video in tandem with the album's release.[58]

Performances

Grande will appear as the musical guest on the March 9, 2024, episode of Saturday Night Live. It will mark her third appearance on the show and her first since 2016.[59]

On Metacritic, which assigns a normalized score out of 100 to ratings from professional publications, Eternal Sunshine received a weighted mean score of 83, based on nine reviews, indicating "universal acclaim".[61]

Brittany Spanos of Rolling Stone commended Eternal Sunshine as "some of the most honest and inventive music of her career" and dubbed the album as an "instant classic".[18] NME's Nick Levine and The New York Times' Lindsay Zoladz both dubbed it one of Grande's "most sophisticated" albums yet.[17][67] Laura Snapes of The Guardian considered the album a perceptive, "post-divorce" record, praising the "maturity" and "compassion" of its subject matter.[63]

Jem Aswad of Variety emphasized Grande's restrained vocals, which he thought focused on "texture and intimacy" rather than showcasing her vocal range.[20] In contrast, Helen Brown of The Independent found this vocal tone rather conversational, lacking "strong melodic snags".[19] Poppie Platt of The Daily Telegraph opined that the album is "pop at its sexiest" but contains "more of the same slickly-produced dancefloor-fillers" of Grande's previous albums.[62]
