Ariana Grande has been the focus of a lot of gossip as it pertains to her romantic relationships lately — something she tackles head on in her new single … in raunchy terms.
The pop star dropped her new single, ‘Yes, And?,’ Friday … and it’s stirring up buzz for many reasons — but one of the biggest takeaways fans are noticing right away is the fact that she addresses all the scrutiny over her split with Dalton Gomez/hookup with Ethan Slater.
The lyrics kinda speak for themselves here … AG sings this during the bridge, “My face is sitting, I don’t need no disguise // 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**k I ride?”
The chorus is also telling in terms of how she deals with all the noise aimed her way, with her crooning … “‘Yes, and?’ // Say that shit with your chest, and // Be your own fuckin’ best friend // Say that shit with your chest // Keep moving like, “What’s next?'”
Of course, her words here reflect what’s been a whirlwind romance for her and her new Broadway boyfriend — which dovetailed with her divorce to Dalton … all of which came together somewhat messily last year. Despite that, AG’s apparently tuning out the haters.

Now, the track itself is quite solid — an upbeat dance-friendly, ’90s-esque bop … and it’s certainly a good introduction into her solo comeback ahead of her new album dropping.
However, even on the musical front … there are some heads turning over what some think is a familiar sound here — namely, the fact that the beat feels very ‘Vogue’-coded, if not a rendition of it. As far as we can tell, Ari didn’t sample Madonna … but damn, it is similar.
Anyway, it’s just a footnote of analysis of the song — by and large, everyone is digging it.

It’ll be interesting to see if other tracks of hers on this project touch on the Dalton/Ethan drama any further. Ya gotta imagine she’ll open up about it more … she’s usually quite honest in her art, and she hasn’t shied away from name-dropping exes in old songs either.
