“i cannot believe the words i am typing,” wrote the Wicked star, 30, alongside the remix’s cover artwork, featuring herself and Carey, 54, posing side-by-side in all-black outfits as they look directly into the camera.

Grande continued, “Yes, And? Remix feat the one and only, queen of my heart and lifelong inspiration @mariahcarey is out this friday !!!!!!!!!!!”

The “Thank U, Next” performer expressed her excitement toward joining forces with the Songbird Supreme. “there truly are no words that suffice,” she wrote. “thank you from the bottom of my heart for this dream come true and for sprinkling your brilliance and magic on my little song @mariahcarey.”

“it means more to me than i could ever possibly articulate and i cannot wait for everyone to hear this,” concluded Grande’s note. “i love you eternally !!!!!!!”

Both artists teased the collaboration on Wednesday by updating their Instagram profile pictures to similar images of their respective eyes, which Grande shared to her Instagram Story prior to the official reveal.

The pair previously teamed up in 2020 for a remix of Carey’s 2010 song “Oh Santa” with Jennifer Hudson on the soundtrack of Apple TV+’s Mariah Carey’s Magical Christmas Special.

All three vocalists performed the remix in the 2020 special, before getting together once again in December 2023 to deliver its live debut at one of Carey’s Merry Christmas One and All! concerts at Madison Square Garden in New York City.

The original version of “Yes, And?” was released last month as the lead single from Grande’s forthcoming album Eternal Sunshine, out March 8. The track, which debuted at No. 1 on the Billboard Hot 100, finds the star shrugging off haters and embracing self-confidence over a slick disco-and-house-inspired beat.

Grande recently told fans she won’t be releasing any more singles ahead of the full album, though she assured listeners “a little surprise or two” would be coming — and Carey’s remix of “Yes, And?” appears to be one of them.

“i wanted to say… as hard as it is to resist the urge to share another song or single with you all asap, i would really love for you to experience the album in full this time,” the Sweetener musician shared on Instagram earlier this month.

Grande wrote, “… waiting a little longer for you to be able to listen fully through first really is my ideal way for you all to experience this body of work.”

“thank you for your trust in my vision and plan!” she continued. “you have waited so long for new music from me and i am so grateful for your patience! I look forward to savoring every single of this new era with you all and i sincerely cannot wait for it to be yours!”
