Thank U, Next is the fifth studio album by American singer Ariana Grande. It was released on February 8, 2019, by Republic Records, six months after her fourth studio album, Sweetener. Songwriters and producers that collaborated with Grande on the album included Tommy Brown, Max Martin, Ilya Salmanzadeh and Pop Wansel. Grande began working on Thank U, Next in October 2018 amidst several personal struggles, including the death of ex-boyfriend Mac Miller and the end of her engagement to Pete Davidson. She opted not to use the traditional promotion cycle employed for her previous releases. Primarily a pop, R&B and trap record, Thank U, Next was described as Grande's most personal record up to that point, with its lyrical content reflecting on personal flaws, grief and denial, as well as independence and self-empowerment. The album was preceded by two singles: the title track and "7 Rings", both of which debuted atop the Billboard Hot 100 chart, becoming Grande's first two number-one songs in the United States. "Break Up with Your Girlfriend, I'm Bored" became the third single on the day of the album's release, peaking at number two on the Hot 100.
