Ariana Grande is back! … Okay, she never actually left, having released two chart-topping singles earlier in 2020. But on October 23 she returned with the lead single from her upcoming album, “Positions.” It’s the followup to her critically acclaimed, commercially successful album “Thank U, Next,” which she released in early 2019. Watch the music video for the title song above.
“Positions” is a pop/R&b love ballad with trap beats in which Grande pledges that she’ll be “switching the positions for you … Know my love infinite, nothing I wouldn’t do.” But while she’s singing about devotion to the one she loves, the video finds her running things in the boardroom, in the kitchen and even in the White House.

On Thursday night, Ariana Grande gave fans a first taste of Positions — the follow-up to her most-successful album yet, 2019’s already-double-platinum Thank U, Next. Lead single, title track, and slow-burning bop “Positions” dropped alongside a music video that’s both flirtatious and empowering. In it, Grande traipses around the White House as president, often flanked by her heavily female and diverse cabinet. She switches roles — or positions — between homemaker, bedroom enchantress and leader of the free world.

“Thank U, Next” accelerated the rise of Ariana Grande’s already ascendant career. It was her first Number One on the Billboard Hot 100, served as the launching point for one of Grande’s most successful projects and proved that a pop star looking to hip-hop for inspiration in the streaming age could pay immense dividends. During an interview on the Zach Sang Show, Grande described how nerves about including the names of her exes on “Thank U, Next” inspired her to experiment with different lyrics.

Ariana Grande is a woman of her word, dropping her new album just six months after her last one—and Thank U, Next turns out to be her best album yet. Sweetener was full of potential hits; the old-school model would have been to milk it for a couple of years, tour it to death, then start the cycle all over again. Instead, Grande went back in the studio while her energy was raging and banged out another album in two weeks. This is her Amnesiac to Sweetener’s Kid A.
