Read the lyrics to Ariana's comeback single 'No Tears Left To Cry'.

Today (April 20) Ariana Grande finally unveiled her new single 'No Tears Left To Cry' along with an incredible music video, directed by acclaimed music video director Dave Meyers.

Watch the video below:

Ariana Grande - No Tears Left To Cry

The single is the first new music to be lifted from her as-yet-untitled fourth studio album, currently known by fans as #AG4

It is also the first new music from Ariana since the terrorist attack at her concert in Manchester last year in which 22 people, many of these young fans, died. The song and the video make some subtle allusions to the incident. As noted by the BBC, at the end of the music video, a worker bee - the symbol of Manchester - flies towards the camera, in homage to the city. The lyrics describe Ariana's emotional state after the attack, "Right now I'm in a state of mind I want to be in, like, all the time" but they strike a more defiant tone by the end at the song: "I'm pickin' it up / Lovin', I'm livin', so we turnin' up / Yeah, we turnin' it up".

Here are the full lyrics to 'No Tears Left To Cry':

Right now, I'm in a state of mind

I wanna be in, like, all the time

Ain't got no tears left to cry

So I'm pickin' it up, pickin' it up (oh yeah)

I'm lovin', I'm livin', I'm pickin' it up

Oh, I just want you to come with me

We on another mentality

Ain't got no tears left to cry

So I'm pickin' it up, pickin' it up (oh yeah)

I'm lovin', I'm livin', I'm pickin' it up

Pickin' it up (yeah), pickin' it up (yeah)

Lovin', I'm livin', so we turnin' up

Yeah, we turnin' it up

They point out the colors in you, I see 'em too

And, boy, I like 'em, I like 'em, I like 'em

We're way too fly to partake in all this hate

We out here vibin', we vibin', we vibin'

Comin' out, even when it's rainin' down

Can't stop now, can't stop, so shut your mouth

Shut your mouth, and if you don't know

Then now you know it, babe

Know it, babe, yeah

Right now, I'm in a state of mind

I wanna be in, like, all the time

Ain't got no tears left to cry

So I'm pickin' it up, pickin' it up (oh yeah)

I'm lovin', I'm livin', I'm pickin' it up

Oh, I just want you to come with me

We on another mentality

Ain't got no tears left to cry (so don't cry)

So I'm pickin' it up, pickin' it up (oh yeah)

I'm lovin', I'm livin', I'm pickin' it up

Comin' out, even when it's rainin' down

Can't stop now, shut your mouth

Ain't got no tears left to cry

Oh yeah, oh yeah

Oh, I just want you to come with me

We on another mentality

Ain't got no tears left to cry (cry)

So I'm pickin' it up, pickin' it up (oh yeah)

I'm lovin', I'm livin', I'm pickin' it up

I'm pickin' it up, pickin' it up

Lovin', I'm livin', so we turnin' up

Yeah, we turnin' it up
