Ariana Grande is one of many top music artists featured on Charli XCX’s Brat remix album.
The Thank U, Next hitmaker, 31, who hosted Saturday Night Live this weekend, joined the 32-year-old British singer on her song Sympathy Is A Knife, giving it her own unique spin.
In the song, roughly titled Issa Knife, Grande addresses ‘bad fans’ and critics in her verses over the upbeat dance tune.
“It’s a knife when you know they count on your mistakes / It’s a knife when you’re so pretty they think you must be fake,” she sings to begin her first measure.
The former Disney child star goes on to sing, “It’s a knife when they dissect your body on the cover / It’s a knife when they don’t believe you, why should you explain?”

Elsewhere in her clip, Ariana laments, “It’s a knife when bad fans hate nice fans.”
And then he jokes: ‘It’s a knife when someone says they like the old me and not the new one / And I’m like “who the fuck is she?”
For her part, Charli, whose Brat project is the most commercially successful, talks about being “on top” for the first time in her career.
Singing from his perspective, he states, “It’s a knife when you’re finally at the top / ‘Cause logically, the next step is they want to see you fall to the bottom.”
Combining some fun marketing for Ariana’s upcoming multi-part musical film Wicked, the two singers recreated the film’s promotional poster.
Through an editing process, Charli, whose full name is Charlotte, had green skin and red lips along with a black hat while appearing as the character Elphaba.
It comes after Grande and her Wicked co-star Cynthia Erivo recently replicated the Broadway musical’s original graphic design.
The new version of XCX’s album is titled Brat and is completely different, but it’s also still snotty and features other musicians like Billie Eilish, Bb Trickz, Bon Iver, Addison Rae and more.

Grande has faced a continuous barrage of questions and comments about the evolution of her appearance in recent years.
Most recently, she denied having plastic surgery while participating in Vanity Fair’s Lie Detector Test series in September.
When Erivo asked if the pop star had had a boob job or a nose job, she replied: “No,” and the detector confirmed she was telling the truth.
And he noted candidly: ‘I had fillers in various places and Botox, but I stopped about four years ago. And that’s the extent.”
