Ariana Grande has released a new single titled “Imagine”.

The US pop star tweeted a link to the track on her Twitter account on Thursday.

“Imagine” will feature on Grande’s upcoming fifth studio album and contains the lyrics: “Imagine a world like that/ We could light up ‘til I’m ‘sleep on your chest/ Love how my face fits so good in your neck/ Why can’t you imagine a world like that?/ Imagine a world.”

“Imagine” is Grande’s follow-up to smash hit “Thank U, Next”, which has topped the charts on both sides of the Atlantic.

It has spent the last five weeks at number one in the UK and is the bookmakers’ favourite to stay there for Christmas.

In the run-up to releasing the song, Grande took aim at rappers Kanye West and Drake, as their simmering feud boiled over on Twitter.

She said: “guys, i know there are grown men arguing online rn (right now) but miley and i dropping our beautiful, new songs tonight so if y’all could please jus behave for just like a few hours so the girls can shine that’d be so sick thank u.”

Miley Cyrus also released a new single, a cover of John Lennon’s “War Is Over”, featuring the former Beatle’s son with Yoko Ono, Sean Ono Lennon.

Mark Ronson produced the track. Replying to Grande on Twitter, Cyrus wrote: “Didn’t they hear the news?! War IS over ! Thank you, next!”

Cyrus will be performing “War Is Over” on Saturday Night Live this week.
