Today, August 2, 2019, Ariana Grande surprised fans with the release of the single “Boyfriend,” an energetic collaboration with the duo Social House, known for hits like “Magic in the Hamptons” and “Haunt You.” The track arrived alongside a humorous and visually engaging music video, now available on YouTube and major digital platforms.
“Boyfriend” blends pop and R&B elements with a modern, infectious beat, exploring a highly relatable theme: undefined relationships, jealousy, and the difficulty of committing in the digital age. The lyrics portray two people who aren’t officially a couple but act like one and don’t want the other to be with anyone else.
Directed by Hannah Lux Davis, the music video plays with exaggerated scenarios of jealousy and over-the-top, almost violent fantasies, all delivered in a light and ironic tone. Ariana and Social House members Mikey Foster and Scootie Anderson display a fun on-screen chemistry, filled with intense looks, imagined confrontations, and moments of romantic tension.
Release Highlights:
- Debuted at the top of YouTube trends and Spotify editorial playlists
- Song written by Ariana Grande alongside Social House and longtime collaborators
- Strong fan reaction, praising the refreshing sound and playful tone
- The music video surpassed 10 million views within the first 24 hours
“Boyfriend” follows the massive success of thank u, next and showcases a more relaxed side of Ariana, exploring love with humor, irony, and sensuality. The collaboration with Social House proves that she continues to innovate and surprise, unafraid to experiment with new sounds.
