The title of the album, ‘Eternal Sunshine’ is named after the critically acclaimed 2004 romance film Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind; Ariana views the information of this album as both vulnerability and entertainment, which have inspired Grande’s life experiences. Ariana kicked off this new era by releasing her lead single,‘ Yes, and?’ on January 12, 2024 and debuted at number one on the Billboard Hot 100.

Junior, Kenna Walthall says, “It feels oddly peaceful,” as she reviews Grande’s album ‘Eternal Sunshine’.

Ariana Grande’s new album carried wide anticipation throughout the music industry before its release. “It’s incredibly human,” Grande said about her album on the Zach Sang Show. “It was definitely the most emotional writing process. But there are also bops that are more fun.”

The pop star returns with a restrained, slightly scattered, but emotionally generous album that cycles through the collapse of one relationship and into the hopeful beginning of another. Harry Tafoya

Grande’s fan base has grown rapidly over the years, and she is known for her relatability, her representation and her ability to be herself freely within her songs. Vogue comments on Ariana Grande’s song by saying, “On the topic of struggling to stay friends with her exes, or wishing that she hated them when she doesn’t. It is what makes listening to Grande’s music often feel like catching up with an old friend, or like a form of therapy.”
