AceShowbiz - Lady GaGa and Ariana Grande's devotees will not have to wait much longer for their much-anticipated duet. On Friday, May 15, the "Born This Way" hitmaker and the "God Is a Woman" singer have taken to their individual social media accounts to reveal the release date of their joint single, "Rain On Me".
"#RAINONME WITH @ARIANAGRANDE FRIDAY 5/22, MIDNIGHT ET WORLDWIDE," announced GaGa in an Instagram post, while Grande simply wrote in hers, "rain on me may 22 @ladygaga." Both artists used their single's cover art, which present extraterrestrial Gaga laying inside cave while Grande standing at the entrance, for their posts. The difference was GaGa's post is in color, while Grande's in black-and-white.
This release date announcement did not only excite fans of both artists, but also delight fellow celebrities. Former Fifth Harmony member Normani left three separate comments on Grande's post. "I can't take it [multiple crying face emojis]" and "I'm so excited" were two of her replies. Beyonce Knowles proteges, Chloe x Halle, also shared similar reaction.
Another singer sharing excitement over the news was Scott Hoying of Pentatonix, who exclaimed, "YEEEEES." In the meanwhile, Tinashe wrote, "Omg," and fashion designer Vera Wang simply gave three screaming cat emojis in the comment section.
"Rain On Me" is one of the track included in GaGa's long-awaited sixth studio album, "Chromatica". The record itself was initially set to be dropped on April 10, but got postponed to May 29 because of the coronavirus pandemic. Aside from Grande duet, it will also feature a collaboration with BLACKPINK and another one with Elton John.
Back in March, GaGa explained about the delay as saying, "This is such a hectic and scary time for all of us, and while I believe art is one of the strongest things we have to provide joy and healing to each other during times like this, it just doesn't feel right for me to release this album with all that going on during this global pandemic."
