Ariana Grande released the official music video for her new song ‘we can’t be friends, wait for your love’ on Friday morning.
In the video, which is the second from her album Eternal Sunshine, she stars alongside actor Evan Peters.
It’s not just about the new music that fans raved about on social media, but also their undeniable on-screen compatibility.
“Just like Evan Peters and Ariana Grande already passed the chemistry test, someone needs to cast them in a romantic comedy now,” wrote one fan on X (formerly known as Twitter).
The video follows Grande’s character, Peaches, as she attends a clinic to erase her memories of the actor’s character after a breakup.

The song is the second on the album to be accompanied by a music video.
“You misunderstood me, but at least I look this good, we can’t be friends, but I’d like to pretend… wait until you like me again,” the pop vocalist sings.
In the video, Grande is seen carrying a box of memorabilia from their relationship as she signs her memories as the screen fades to black.
The two are seen together for the first time sharing laughter in a game room while he wins a teddy bear for her.
The plot then changes as good memories turn bad and the difficult parts of the relationship are shown.
“You misunderstood me, but at least I look this good, we can’t be friends, but I’d like to pretend… wait until you like me again,” the pop vocalist sings.
As she mourns the lost relationship, the sweet moments begin to fade as all their kisses and intimate moments fade away.
In one scene, the necklace she gives him turns into a dog collar when Peters disappears and is replaced by a dog.
The screen cuts back to Peaches hugging the doctors in the exam room, seemingly confirming that he has been permanently erased from his mind.
We then see a nurse cremate her box of relationship keepsakes, symbolizing the change.
The video had an emotional close with Grande’s character walking next to a new man while Evans walks past them with a new woman, no longer recognizing who they were to each other.
‘Wait for your love,’ the singer vocalized, ‘My love, I will wait for your love.’
