FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
June 3, 2026 — Aspen, CO — Ariana Grande begins her next musical chapter with the release of “hate that i made you love me,” the first single from her forthcoming studio album, Petal, due July 31, 2026.
Arriving after a period of artistic and personal evolution, the new song presents Grande in a reflective mode, exploring the lingering emotions that can remain after a relationship has changed shape. Built around restrained production and an intimate vocal performance, the track places emotional complexity ahead of easy answers, allowing uncertainty, regret, and self-examination to occupy the same space.
As the opening statement from Petal, the single offers an introduction to a project centered on growth, transformation, and resilience. Throughout the album, Grande continues to expand her songwriting approach, drawing from personal experiences while crafting songs that speak to broader questions of identity, connection, and change.
The single was created in collaboration with acclaimed songwriter and producer Max Martin, whose decades-long influence on contemporary pop music has helped shape some of the genre’s most enduring recordings. Together, Grande and Martin bring a refined sense of melody and emotional clarity to “hate that i made you love me,” balancing sophisticated pop songwriting with a deeply personal perspective.
The accompanying visual presentation further establishes the atmosphere of Petal, introducing imagery that reflects the album’s themes of renewal and reinvention. Together, the music and visuals point toward a body of work that embraces vulnerability as a creative strength rather than a destination.
Over the course of her career, Grande has continually evolved while remaining one of popular music’s most recognizable voices. With multiple acclaimed albums, numerous industry accolades, and a global audience spanning generations, she has built a catalogue marked by both commercial success and artistic ambition. Petal continues that trajectory, offering listeners a collection of songs shaped by reflection, maturity, and a renewed sense of creative purpose.
The partnership between Grande and Martin has produced some of the most celebrated moments in her catalog, and their latest collaboration demonstrates a continued commitment to musical growth while preserving the craftsmanship that has distinguished their work together for more than a decade.
With “hate that i made you love me” now available worldwide, Petal arrives on July 31, marking the beginning of Ariana Grande’s next full-length release and a significant new chapter in her ongoing artistic journey.
