Ariana Grande has announced she will release a new album.

The Grammy winner had been focused on acting, appearing in the Wicked movies.

She is set to do a tour for her last album, 2024's Eternal Sunshine, beginning in June.

Ariana Grande announced Tuesday that her new album is coming soon.

Petal will be available July 31, the "Yes, And?" singer teased, as the caption for a photo of her smiling, teeth showing and hair across her face.

The title is already available in multiple formats on Grande's website, and, in fact, the signed CDs and records sold out within hours.

The Grammy-winning artist dropped her last album, Eternal Sunshine, in 2024. The tour for it is scheduled to begin in June.

Since then, Grande has spent much of time on the two Wicked movies, the first of which landed her an Oscar nomination for best supporting actress, for her role as Glinda.

The album's official description reads, "Something that is full of life and growing through the cracks of something cold and hard and challenging."

Grande has executive produced and co-written the project with partner Ilya Salmanzadeh, who worked with her on all of her albums since 2018's Sweetener and has collaborated with artists including Taylor Swift.

"There was something broken about my relationship to pop music that was healed recently through the time away," Grande explained in a November interview with the New York Times. When asked to be more specific, she laughed and said, "How much more time do we have?"

She continued, "I think it got away from me in a way I didn't expect. There’s a thing that comes along with your dreams coming true that feels dangerous at times."

Grande is not retiring from acting, though. Fans are also expected to see her later this year in Meet the Parents sequel Focker In-Law and on TV's American Horror Story.

"Of course, music will be in my life forever," she told the Times. "I have to say that for my fans who are reading this who are going to have a heart attack."

But it doesn't mean her work life will look exactly the same either.

"The last 10 or 15 years will look very different to the ones that are coming up," Grande told Amy Poehler in November during an episode of the Good Hang podcast. "I don't want to say anything definitive. I do know that I'm very excited to do this small tour, but I think it might not happen again for a long, long, long, long, long time. I'm going to give it my all, and it's going to be beautiful. I think that's why I'm doing it, because I'm like, 'One last hurrah!'"

Grande's new album, Petal, is available for pre-order at her website.
