Gomez has been doing incredible after her album Rare debuted at No. 1 on the all-genre list of Billboard back in January. Black Pink has also been making history by entering at No. 33 on the Hot 100 with songs “How You Like That” and “Sour Candy,” a collaboration with Lady Gaga.
American producer, Tommy Brown, who has worked with Ariana Grande, Madonna, and John Legend, has helped produce and write the new single. He made his reveal on Instagram tagging both Gomez and Black Pink.
The post surprised many fans because Grande was tagged, making many assume she also contributed behind the scenes. Grande demonstrated her support for the collaboration on her Instagram by sharing Brown’s post and adding, “proud of the squad… and so excited for this!!! So much love this team and these ladies.”
Grande, however, is not the only artist to have contributed to the single. Also tagged was singer-songwriter Victoria Monét, who has recently released her album Jaguar. Monét is also known for having worked with Brown in the past.
Imagine working with Ariana who has 198M Ig followers and Selena with 188M followers. The power of Women!!! I am so proud of this ladies lifting each other 😭🙏🙏@BLACKPINK#icecreamin6days #IceCream #BLACKPINK #BLACKPINKxSELENAGOMEZ#Lisa #AriPink #selpink #AriSelPink

Fans see this collaboration as a demonstration of woman empowerment, and having Grande and Monét be part of it is only a testament to this. We cannot wait until “Ice Cream” comes out.
