Ariana Grande gave fans their first taste of her new album "Dangerous Woman," dropping the title track an hour before midnight on Thursday. She also made her third studio album available for pre-order and the new song is streaming on Spotify.
"Dangerous Woman" features a more grownup sound from Grande, who announced the sultry track and album on Twitter. The song is a departure from her more dance pop hits that filled her 2014 album, "My Everything."

The song's release comes only days before Grande will take the stage at 30 Rock to host "Saturday Night Live." She will pull double duty, also performing "Dangerous Woman" and new single "Be Alright." It will be her second appearance on the NBC comedy sketch series. She served as Chris Pratt's musical guest in last season's premiere.
Grande is hard at work getting ready for the show on Saturday and enjoying her time back in New York City. She also teamed up with "SNL" star Taran Killam to promote this week's episode.

The track listing for "Dangerous Woman" only reveals the names of four of the 15 songs. "Dangerous Woman" and "Be Alright" are the second and third tracks followed by "Into You" and "Let Me Love You" featuring Lil Wayne (Track 6). The album will be released on May 20. The original album title was "Moonlight," which is reportedly the title of the first track.
