LOS ANGELES, April 3 — The song features Grammy-winning songwriter Victoria Monét.
Less than two months after the release of her latest album Thank U, Next, Ariana Grande surprised fans with a new song titled Monopoly. The bouncy track sees Grande and Monet enjoying the fruits of their success like properties from the song’s eponymous board game.
“Bad vibes, get off of me/ Outta here with that fu**ery/ Treat my goals like property/ Collect them like Monopoly,” the duo sing.
The pair also unveiled the accompanying video for the track. Directed by Alfredo Flores and Ricky Alvarez, the visual shows Grande and Monét dancing around on a rooftop. They parody Twitter memes, tossing out words like “negativity”, “haters” and even “Trump”.
On Twitter, the duo explained that the song was meant to serve as a “celebration and a ‘thank you’” to their fans.
MONOPOLY out now. 🖤 everywhere. a celebration and a ‘thank u’ for everything! Love, me & @victoriamonet. https://t.co/Y0DxsvEmBv pic.twitter.com/TSDLEKliQn
