Contents 1 Background 2 Promotion 3 Singles 3.1 Promotional singles 4 Track listing 5 References Background On November 13, 2016, Grande stated on Snapchat that she had finished her fourth album. She later clarified by saying, `` I did n't mean to make an album, and I do n't know if it 's done at all, but I just have a bunch of songs that I really really like. I 've been working a lot and have been creating and feeling inspired. '' In December 2017, she confirmed that she was still working on the album. Grande 's manager Scooter Braun told Variety that the album has a more mature sound : `` It 's time for ( Ariana ) to sing the songs that define her... Whitney, Mariah, Adele -- when they sing, that 's their song. Ariana has big vocal moments ; it 's time for her song. '' Pharrell Williams told Los Angeles Times : `` The things that ( Ariana ) has to say on this album, it 's pretty next - level. '' Producers Max Martin and Savan Kotecha were later confirmed to have collaborated with Grande in the album. On December 28, 2017, Grande shared several pictures of her in the studio throughout the year. The following week, Grande shared a snippet from the album on her Instagram, which was later revealed to be a track titled `` Get Well Soon ''. On April 16, 2018, it was reported that Grande may move up the lead single release to April 20, 2018, due to labelmate Post Malone 's album being released on April 27. On April 17, 2018, Grande announced that the album 's lead single, `` No Tears Left to Cry '', would be released on April 20, 2018. On The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon, Grande announced that her album would be called Sweetener. She said the meaning behind the title is `` It 's kind of about like bringing light to a situation, or to someone 's life, or somebody else who brings light to your life, or sweetening the situation. '' A May 2018 cover article in Time magazine by Sam Lansky notes that, for the first time with this album, Grande `` took the lead on writing ''. In late May 2018, she announced that the album would feature 15 tracks and three collaborations, which are Missy Elliott, Nicki Minaj and Pharrell Williams. In early June 2018, Grande announced at Wango Tango that the album would be available for pre-order on June 20, and `` The Light Is Coming '' would be released along with it. The second single, `` God Is a Woman '', was initially scheduled to be released on July 20, 2018, however, she later announced that it will be released on July 13, a week earlier. Prior to the album 's release, Spencer Kornhaber of The Atlantic commented that the first three singles from the album have `` sparked with a sense of defiance and rattled mortality... ( a ) trifecta of pseudo-spiritualism and sneaky innovation... Grande 's music and videos radiate ( intoxicating, unworried confidence ) ''.
