Ariana Grande Strikes Music Arena With “Like I Do.”
Confidence takes center stage on “like i do,” the ninth track from American singer, songwriter, and actress Ariana Grande’s eighth studio album, petal.
Released on July 31, 2026, the song packs plenty of attitude into its 2-minute, 47-second runtime, pairing witty lyricism with explosive pop production.
Built around distorted basslines, punchy drums, and a fast-moving rhythm, “like i do” captures Ariana at her most fearless. Instead of shying away from public attention, she leans into it with playful confidence, turning criticism into fuel. The track explores self-assurance, personal influence, and the blurred line between admiration and obsession, all while delivering one of the album’s boldest performances.
The song seemed written and produced by Ariana Grande alongside longtime collaborator ILYA, with engineering by Lou Carrao and Juan Arguello.
Combining sharp songwriting with infectious energy, “like i do” adds another vibrant chapter to an album that continues to showcase Ariana Grande’s artistic evolution.
