The song is from her upcoming album, Eternal Sunshine, and it is about unapologetically living your life without caring what others have to say about it.
While this kind of empowering anthem would usually be well received by listeners, Ariana’s eyebrow-raising references to her love life were deemed to be in poor taste.
In “yes, and?”, the star seemingly hits back at the media interest in her and Ethan’s romance by singing: “Your business is yours and mine is mine / Why do you care so much whose dick I ride?,” with shocked fans accusing Ariana of glorifying being a “homewrecker.”
In fact, the backlash was so intense that Ariana lost over 350,000 Instagram followers after the song’s release, but she has remained defiant in the face of the scrutiny.
