Ariana Grande has had a rollercoaster last few weeks. Shereleased her fourth album, 'Sweetener' six weeks ago to huge acclaim, but two weeks later it was reported that her ex-boyfriend, Mac Miller, had passed away.

After taking some time out from social media before posting a sweet tribute to Mac, she caused concern amongst her fans after posting a series of cryptic tweets, but then returned to promote a 'Sweetener' exhibit, posting that it was a 'fun and creative way to bring music to life.'

But despite the fact that 'Sweetener' was only released on 18th August this year, Ari - who became engaged to her fiancé Pete Davidson this summer - has now teased a brand new song, posting a 45-second clip of an as-yet-unnamed track - and fans have gone wild.

Sharing the video on both Instagram and Twitter, Ari posted the caption, 'Tell me how good it feels to be needed,' which are lyrics that can be heard in the clip.

Rio Ferdinand popped the question to former TOWIE star Kate Wright whilst the couple were on holiday in Abu Dhabi. The former footballer made the moment extra special by including his three children.

The following lyrics in the song could be heard,

'I admit that I’m a little messed up/I can hide it when I’m all dressed up/I'm obsessed with being loved too hard/Good at overthinking with my heart/How’d I even think it got this far'

Fans went wild for the potential new track, with one writing, 'I’m happy because it seems Ariana doesn’t care about the Sweetener era and she's already working on her next album and it will be so much better than Sweetener. Why? Not because the songs from Sweetener were 'bad', the era was just a mess for her :( she needs a new era and a new beginning.' [sic]

Another added, 'I'm literally crying,' whilst one other wrote, 'Giving me chills!'

In some good news for Ariana, she's been nominated for FIVE MTV Europe Music Awards, and will find out next month at the ceremony whether she will take home any gongs.
