- The song appears on her fourth studio album — "Sweetener"— which will be released on August 17.
Ariana Grande dropped a hint about one of her new songs months ago — and you probably didn't notice.
During an interview with Elle Magazine for the August 2018 issue, the singer shared an interesting detail about her Vera Wang Met Gala dress, which featured Michelangelo's "The Last Judgment."
Grande revealed that the heavenly attire was actually an indicator of one of her upcoming tracks, titled "God Is a Woman," from her fourth studio album.
The 25-year-old explained that her detailed gown was a "a foreshadow, a hint" of the song, which she has been teasing fans about for quite some time.
In late June, Grande took to Twitter to tell fans that "God Is a Woman" will be the second single from her new "Sweetener" album. Prior to that, people noticed that her "No Tears Left to Cry" music video (which was released in April) included a scene where Grande was seen on the floor with a piece of paper that had "God Is a Woman" written on it.
She also said that the song is about "sexual female empowerment & how women are literally everything & the universe is inside of us tbh."

Grande has been known to incorporate visual clues in the past. In her music video for "No Tears Left to Cry," she added a bee at the very end. The insect was a as nod to the Manchester, England terrorist attack that took place at her May 2017 concert.
Fans will be able to hear "God Is a Woman" and the rest of her new music when "Sweetener" drops on Friday, August 17.
