The Instagram story was followed by a video of someone spinning in their kitchen with excitement for the extended album release alongside a countdown clock titled 'Eternal Sunshine Deluxe' suggesting the release date will be in less than 11 days.
Earlier in the year, Grande suggested she was living in Hampstead while filming the musical Wicked at Sky Studios Elstree in Hertfordshire with fellow Oscar nominee Cynthia Erivo.
She said: 'I miss it here so much. I loved it here so much. I loved living here. I was in Hampstead when I was here and I loved my walks in the heath.
'I loved meandering around and visiting different shops and places and pubs.
'I didn't know what a Sunday roast was, but I know that that's a thing now. I didn't know what that was and now I do and I'm changed for the better. It's so delightful and fun there are so many dogs and (the dog breed) Vizslas in (Hampstead) Heath
'I loved seeing them.'
The two-time Grammy winner is best known for her hit songs 7 Rings, Rain On Me and No Tears Left To Cry, along with her recent Oscar nomination for best supporting actress playing good witch Glinda in the film adaptation of the hit musical Wicked.
Grande will return for a sequel, Wicked: For Good, which comes out later this year to conclude the story of the green witch Elphaba (Erivo).
The track teaser came days after Grande shared a video on her Instagram page with the caption 'brighter days ahead, the short film also coming 3.28'.
The singer has had seven UK number one singles and five number one albums including Dangerous Woman, Sweetener and Thank U, Next.
The former Nickelodeon star rose to fame after starring in the sitcom Victorious, which followed the lives of pupils at a performing arts school.
She later released her debut album, Yours Truly, which kickstarted her music career.

‘Wicked: For Good' Trailer Reveals An Action-Packed Sequel With A Lot Of Heart
Wicked: For Good Credit: Universal Wicked is one of my favorite Broadway musicals and I was absolutely blown away by the film adaptation from Jon M. Chu and Universal Pictures last year. Despite the long run-time, I was completely engrossed throughout. I rank it as one of the best stage-to-film adaptations ever made, with award-worthy performances from Cynthia Erivo and Ariana Grande. It was a little disappointing that the movie was split into two parts, but on the plus side we get to look forward to the sequel, Wicked: For Good. The title is mildly awkward, though it's taken from the musical's final act banger track, 'For Good' which is effectively the culmination of the relationship between Elphaba – aka the Wicked Witch of the West – and Galinda – aka Glinda the Good Witch. She's not a bad witch, she's a good witch. Then again, so is Elphaba, even though the Wizard Of Oz's propaganda machine would have the citizens of Oz think otherwise. We see that at work in the new trailer, which highlights the relationship of the two witches but gives us glimpses of the anti-Wicked Witch Of The West campaign as well. We also see the Cowardly Lion, the Tin Man and the Scarecrow along with Dorothy from Kansas, as they approach the Great And Powerful Oz: Wicked: For Good Credit: Universal When you think about it, Dorothy is an awfully strange assassin for the Wizard to choose to send after his magical rival. Strange but effective, if The Wizard Of Oz is anything to go by, though without spoiling things, this is obviously a much different story than L. Frank Baum's book and the classic film adaptation. It's also a very different story from the novel Wicked by Gregory Maguire, which leans a lot darker and more cynical than the Broadway show and the films. It's quite the chain of adaptations. Baum's book (which was allegory for the silver vs gold standard debate at the time) to the classic Judy Garland film to the Maguire book to the stage show to the new pair of films. Will we get a Wicked video game next? I'd play it. I'm hopeful that the second film fleshes out some of the action in the second act of the stage show. For obvious reasons, that's a little truncated and glossed over in the musical. Film, as a medium, opens up some fun opportunities for bigger action set-pieces as well as intimate close-ups. This is definitely at the top of my most-anticipated films of 2025 list. Here's the trailer: Wicked: For Good releases on November 21st, 2025. Read my review of Wicked right here.

Co-president of Lionsgate movie studio dies of cancer at 55
Jason Constantine, co-president of the Lionsgate Motion Picture Group, died Tuesday at his home in Los Angeles after a long fight with brain cancer. He was 55. Constantine was a Lionsgate veteran, beginning his career more than 25 years ago at its predecessor company Trimark Pictures as a director of acquisitions, the Santa Monica-based firm said. At Lionsgate, he was involved in several of the Santa Monica-based studio's key franchises, including "John Wick," and "Saw," which he pushed Lionsgate to acquire early on after watching a brief concept short. He was also closely associated with films including best picture Oscar winner "Crash" (2004), "Precious" (2009) and "Knives Out" (2019). 'With his fearless spirit, creative energy and enduring talent relationships, Jason embodied the very best of our studio and our industry," Lionsgate said in a statement. "His career was built around the principles that a great idea can come from anywhere, a box office triumph is meant to be shared by an entire team and our creative choices need to be bold and daring." Constantine is survived by his wife, Kristin, and his sons Lucas, Xander and Nicholas. Sign up for our Wide Shot newsletter to get the latest entertainment business news, analysis and insights.
