New York, NY (Top40 Charts) Ariana Grande dropped a new single "Monopoly," with Victoria Monét, who previously worked with Grande on Thank U, Next as a co-writer on "NASA," "7 Rings," and the album's title track, among others (Monét was also part of Grande's First Wives Club-themed performance of " Thank U, Next" on Ellen in November).
In addition to securing bags, both women sing about their sexuality: "I like women and men / Work so f**kin' much, need a twinny, twin, twin."
Grande also addresses the publishing over "7 rings." She gave 90 percent of the songwriting royalties to Rodgers and Hammerstein, who penned the original sample "My Favorite Things" from The Sound of Music.
"You'd be straight for life if I gave you my pin / Even though we gave up that 90 percent for the win," sings Ariana while a photo of Julie Andrews appears on screen.
The singers have worked together throughout the years including on Ariana's latest album thank u, next. Monét co-wrote "thank u, next" and "7 rings," which remains No. 1 on the Hot 100 for an eighth week.
