Ariana Grande truly is the gift that keeps on giving. Fresh off the release of the "thank u, next," single and music video— and the announcement of her next album by the same name — she revealed on Tuesday that she's already dropping another song this week.
The track, titled "Imagine," will be released Thursday night. Ariana announced the news with a simple tweet, though she also posted a countdown on her Instagram story that showed the exact time the single would drop: midnight EST/9 p.m. PST.

The song will be the second released off of her fifth full length album. Ariana's previously teased the title of the track in the music video for "Breathin," and once tweeted that "Imagine" is about "a simple, beautiful love that is now (and forever) unattainable."
If the description is any indication of the song's tone, it might be time to break out the tissues. Ariana has already said that the new album is "not particularly uplifting."
"A lot of it sounds really upbeat, but it’s actually a super sad chapter," she told Billboard.
Meanwhile, "thank u, next" just returned to No. 1 on the Billboard Hot 100 this week. According to ABC News, the music video has broken "all kinds of viewing records," including one previously held by Taylor Swift's "Look What You Made me Do,"— the biggest weekly total ever for a track by a female artist. The song is also the longest-running Hot 100 No. 1 by a woman without any guest artists.
Did I mention that in the past few weeks, Ariana has also released the Dangerous Woman Diaries docuseries and been named Billboard's Woman of the Year? Clearly, being single is working for her.
