Ariana Grande Drops 'Raindrops' Video
To celebrate her 25th birthday, Ariana Grande surprises fans with a special gift. The pop songstress debuts “Raindrops,” the intro to her upcoming album Sweetener.
The accompanying 30-second clip was once again directed by Dave Meyers, who helmed the visuals for “No Tears Left to Cry” and “The Light Is Coming.” A blonde Ariana sits on an infinite staircase while belting out the emotional track.
“When raindrops fell down from the sky / The day you left me, an angel cried,” she sings, a possible reference to the terrorist bombing outside her Manchester concert where 23 people died.
