Others chimed in with such comments as

"WE ARE READY"
"brb tryna catch my breath"
"THIS ALBUM COVER!!!!"

The initial Eternal Sunshine album, out on March 28, 2024, was Grande's first major body of work in three years.

She has since added more to the album with further versions, such as Eternal Sunshine (Slightly Deluxe) and Eternal Sunshine (Slightly Deluxe and Also Live). And now, with the deluxe edition on the way, even more music is to come, though exact details have not been announced.


Eternal Sunshine has already had several extended versions since its release

When Eternal Sunshine originally came out, it included 13 tracks of personal-themed music and sounds that were new. Eternal Sunshine (Slightly Deluxe) followed, adding four more tracks, including a remix featuring Mariah Carey.

At the tail end of 2024, Eternal Sunshine (Slightly Deluxe and Also Live) emerged, adding to the tracklist live versions. With every subsequent release, Ariana has continued to put out extra content, and Brighter Days Ahead seems to be following that pattern. The full extent of the deluxe edition hasn't been revealed yet, but anticipation is still high.

The tracklist for the deluxe edition hasn't been announced, but the album name gives away its theme

As of now, Ariana Grande has not revealed the number of new tracks or their topics. The title Brighter Days Ahead implies a follow-up of the original album themes, perhaps with an orientation towards optimism and development.

This drop comes on the heels of a hectic year for Grande, who has just earned a Best Supporting Actress Academy Award nomination for her performance in Wicked. Treading the thin line between acting and singing, her comeback with a deluxe album marks a new chapter in her creative work.
