We first got wind of potential new music from Ariana Grande earlier this month when Hits reported that a "source" revealed that the first song from her upcoming album would be released April 27. Luckily, it looks like we won't have to wait that long.

The "Dangerous Woman" singer/songwriter released a song snippet and what appears to be the cover art for a new single, "No Tears Left To Cry," via a series of social media posts along with the message, "Friday." In the song snippet, which doesn't give too much away, we hear about 20 seconds of a chorus effect. Cryptically, the text on all her posts is upside down and backward.

Variety reports that Grande has been collaborating on her upcoming album with Max Martin, Savan Kotecha and Pharrell Williams. It's also "said to be deeply personal and inspired by her experiences over the past two years," which includes the devastating Manchester bombing that occurring during her performance in the U.K. in May 2017. Her latest will be her fourth LP, following 2016's GRAMMY-nominated Dangerous Woman.
