Ariana Grande Announces New Album ‘Petal’, Out July 31

Ariana Grande is stepping into a new era with her eighth studio album Petal, arriving July 31 via Republic Records. Co-written and executive produced with Ilya Salmanzadeh, the record reflects resilience and renewal. Grande described it as “full of life and growing through the cracks of something cold and hard and challenging”. 

Fans have been anticipating the project after months of studio teasers and the announcement of her summer tour launching in June. While the tour was originally tied to Eternal Sunshine, Petal now looks set to take center stage. Grande hinted this tour could be her last “for a long time”, calling it “one last hurrah” and promised to give fans everything she has. 

The announcement follows three years of Grande’s work on the Wicked films and the deluxe edition of Eternal Sunshine. With Petal, she closes one chapter and opens another blending emotional depth with fresh energy. Pearl will bloom worldwide on July 31, 2026, marking one of the summer’s most anticipated releases.
