Yes, and lyrics by Ariana Grande

Yes, and lyrics by Ariana Grande serves as the lead single from her seventh studio album, teased online in late December 2023. Produced by Grande, along with her key collaborators Max Martin and ILYA, the song heavily interpolates Madonna’s 1990 single “Vogue.”

The upbeat, late-80s-inspired track radiates Grande’s confidence and self-love. It expresses her decision to no longer be bothered by others’ projections and opinions, focusing on living authentically.

Ariana Grande – Yes And lyrics

{Verse 1}
In case you haven’t noticed
Well, everybody’s tired
And healing from somebody
Or something we don’t see just right

{Pre-Chorus}
Boy, come on, put your lipstick on
(no one can tell you nothing)
Come on and walk this way through the fire
(don’t care what’s on their mind)
And if you find yourself in a dark situation
Just turn on your light and be like

{Chorus}
“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?”
“Yes, and?” yeah

{Verse 2}
Now I’m so done with caring
What you think, no, I won’t hide
Underneath your own projections
Or change my most authentic life

{Pre-Chorus}
Boy, come on, put your lipstick on
(no one can tell you nothing)
Come on and walk this way through the fire
(don’t care what’s on their mind)
And if you find yourself in a dark situation
Just turn on your light and be like

{Chorus}
“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?”
“Yes, and?” yeah

{Bridge}
My tongue is sacred, I speak upon what I like
Protected, sexy, discerning with my time (my time)
Your energy is yours and mine is mine
What’s mine is mine
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 **** I ride?
Why?

{Chorus}
“Yes, and?” (“yes, and? “)
Say that shit with your chest and
(say that shit with your chest)
Be your own fuckin’ best friend
(be your own, be your own)
Say that shit with your chest (say that shit)
Keep moving like, “what’s next?”
(with your chest now, baby)
“Yes, and?”

“Yes, and?” (hoo)
Say that shit with your chest and (hoo)
Be your own fuckin’ best friend (be your own)
Say that shit with your chest
Keep moving like, “what’s next?”
“Yes, and?” yeah
