Ariana Grande may have only released her fourth album 'Sweetener' in August this year, but it doesn't look like she's taking a break any time soon. The 25-year-old, who has been through two incredibly tough years, released single 'thank u, next' in November - and is already teasing details of a brand new single which will be released tomorrow (13th Dec).

The single, entitled 'Imagine', was announced by Ariana Grande on Twitter yesterday (11th Dec) after she simply tweeted, ''imagine' thursday night' - which of course, sent fans wild, considering she only released the fantastic music video for 'thank u, next' less than two weeks ago.

Whilst 'thank u, next' was a tribute to her ex-boyfriends - including ex-fiancé Pete Davidson, who she was engaged to for three months before calling it off in October - Ariana has revealed what her new single will be about.

A fan account tweeted a photo of what was presumably a tweet written by Ariana, which read, 'A lot of this album mourns failed yet important, beautiful relationships in my life (as well as celebrates growth / exploring new independence). But for those of you asking about imagine: I would say if 'thank u, next' = acceptance... 'imagine' = denial. Hope that makes sense.' sic

The account tweeted the screenshot alongside the message, 'So imagine is like a darker version of “thank u, next”. Possibly explaining about what’s next after a breakup and how to get through it.' sic

Ariana then replied to the tweet to clarify what she'd meant, writing, 'Kind of like... pretending it never ended. denial. but i look forward to you hearing it and having your own experience with it. you may take away something totally different and specific to your life! love u.' sic

Another fan then asked just how personal Ariana would be getting on 'Imagine', to which she replied, 'Terrifyingly so. like i want to take things off. but my friends tell me not to', admitting that it's 'very special' to her. sic

Although she may have suffered through some terrible tragedies over the past few years, she's had some fantastic achievements this year alone - her iconic video for 'thank u, next' broke a world record, and she won Billboard's Woman of the Year Award just last week.
