Ariana Grande has been in the music industry for over a decade now, and throughout the years, the singer-songwriter has been with the first record label she had initially signed with. Republic Records had signed Grande back in 2011, when the 30-year-old was still in her teen years, working as Cat Valentine on Nickelodeon's Victorious.
In December 2023, Grande, who was on a musical hiatus while focusing on filming her musical adaption movie, Wicked, teased fans by sharing pictures from Republic Records' studio. It was visible on the screen that the Side to Side singer was editing audio files, which hinted at her making new music.
