About NASA

Ariana Grande has previously shown her love for the cosmos, expressing her love of Jupiter and Neptune on Twitter and wearing NASA's iconic meatball logo on clothing, and now she's back. The singer's new album, "thank u, next," includes a song titled NASA.

The song itself lives up to its name, rife with references to space exploration and the cosmos. "That's one small step for woman, one giant leap for womankind," Neil Armstrong's voice intones at the beginning of the song in a slightly remixed version of the historic moon landing pronouncement.

Thank U, Next (stylized in all lowercase) is the fifth studio album by American singer Ariana Grande, released on February 8, 2019, by Republic Records. Following the release of her previous studio album Sweetener (2018), Grande found herself in the midst of personal matters, including the death of her ex-boyfriend Mac Miller and breaking up with fiance Pete Davidson. Grande recorded the album in October 2018 in the matter of two weeks, enlisting writers and producers such as Tommy Brown, Max Martin, Ilya Salmanzadeh and Andrew "Pop" Wansel.

The title track was released as the album's lead single on November 3, 2018 and became a commercial success, peaking atop of the charts of 12 countries and becoming Grande's first number-one single on the US Billboard Hot 100. The track also broke a string of records, including the record for the most plays in a single day by a female artist on Spotify. Its second single, "7 Rings", was released on January 18, 2019 and also performed well internationally, peaking at number one in 15 countries and making Grande the third female artist to have two or more songs debuting atop of the Billboard Hot 100. "Break Up with Your Girlfriend, I'm Bored" was released as the third single on the day of the album's release. In support of both Sweetener and Thank U, Next, Grande will embark on the Sweetener World Tour, beginning in March 2019.
