Ariana Grande releases eighth studio album “Petal” FAST-MOVING

Ariana Grande issued her eighth studio album, Petal, on 31 July 2026. The record, distributed worldwide, contains twelve tracks and was released on her own imprint, Baby Doll Records, with Republic Records handling distribution. Grande co‑wrote and co‑produced the album with longtime collaborator Ilya Salmanzadeh; Max Martin contributed production and co‑authored three songs.

The lead single “Hate That I Made You Love Me” debuted at No. 1 on the Billboard Hot 100, giving Grande her tenth chart‑topper. The album’s promotion includes a graphic music video for the title track “Petal,” in which Grande uses a chainsaw to kill a panel of executives, and a Shazam‑exclusive artist sticker pack launched on the same day. Petal is being promoted during Grande’s Eternal Sunshine world tour, which has visited North America and Europe, with upcoming shows in Montreal and London.

Critical response has been mixed, noting the album’s blend of restrained R&B‑pop production with Grande’s signature vocal layering.
