By the Numbers
Petal is written by an unusually small group. Ariana Grande wrote every lyric on the album alone, and the music is hers with Ilya Salmanzadeh on all twelve tracks, with Max Martin joining on only three. Compared to eternal sunshine, which spread credits across a wider bench of collaborators, this is close to a two-person record: Grande and Ilya wrote and produced the whole thing, and Martin is the only other name anywhere on it.
Petal is Ariana Grande's eighth studio album, released on July 31, 2026 through Babydoll and Republic. Recorded between January and April 2026 at Jungle City in New York and MXM in Los Angeles and Stockholm, it is her first non-soundtrack album since eternal sunshine in 2024. Twelve tracks run 36 minutes.
