Ariana Grande Teases New Music With Instagram Acapella Snippets

Ariana Grande is treating fans to an intimate preview of her eighth studio album Petal, dropping acapella music snippets and lyrics directly through Instagram’s multiple captions feature.

The pop superstar, whose album arrives July 31 via Republic Records, has been steadily building anticipation for the 12-track project. She’s been sharing raw, stripped-down vocal clips that showcase her powerhouse voice without any production layers, letting the lyrics and melodies speak for themselves. The move gives fans a behind-the-scenes look at her creative process and builds hype for the full release.

Grande recently revealed the Petal tracklist at her Los Angeles tour stop, with songs including “kiss me,” “hate that i made you love me,” “petal,” “stay,” “oh well,” “big feelings,” “freak,” “(warning signs),” “like i do,” “never get over me,” “bad thing (bunny hop),” and “nowhere, nobody”. The lead single “Hate That I Made You Love Me” already debuted at No. 1 on the Billboard Hot 100. She called it “one of my favorite songs i’ll ever write” on Instagram.

The acapella snippets are just the latest example of Grande’s savvy social media strategy. As she continues her Eternal Sunshine tour and prepares for London residencies, these intimate teases keep fans engaged without giving away too much too soon. With Petal right around the corner, these stripped-down moments are a reminder of what made her a global superstar in the first place.
