Ariana Grande has me,Watch Mother Fuckers Online and most of the internet, in the palm of her hand right now.

The moment she even so much as hints at new music, we all jump to attention. That's exactly what happened when Grande dropped a teaser for her soon-to-be-released single "7 Rings" -- the internet descended into unbridled excitement.

Grande tweeted the 14-second video alongside a caption in Japanese and English.

"七つの指輪「7 Rings」♡ 金曜日 friday," wrote Grande. The tweet translates as "7 Rings. Friday," in Japanese.

Two seconds into the video, the Japanese character for 7 — 七 — is flipped around so it's back to front. Just as Sweetener's aesthetic was upside down, Grande's next album vibe could well be back-to-front.

Back in 2017, Grande delighted fans in Tokyo when she spoke to them in Japanese and told them she's learning the language.

In December 2018, Grande explained on Twitter the significance of the song's title. "7 Rings" refers to the time she and six friends went to Tiffany's and all bought rings. She says she wrote a song about it that very same day.

The Japanese characters used in the tweet had some fans wondering whether she's releasing a Japanese version of "7 Rings."

Some people, however, suggested Grande might be appropriating Japanese culture.

The full track will drop on Friday Jan. 18.
