The track, an extended version of ‘Knew Better’ from the original record, features as a bonus cut on ‘Dangerous Woman (Tenth Anniversary Edition)’, which was released last week.

Taking to Instagram to mark the record’s decade milestone, Grande said that the album and era would “forever hold a very special place in my heart”.

“Thank you for the love you’ve shown this project over the past decade and for the most beautiful and pivotal memories,” she added. “I cherish them and you all more than words can say.”

‘Knew Better Part II’ was originally shared as a SoundCloud exclusive that arrived a few months after ‘Dangerous Woman’ in 2016.

Grande has dropped four more albums since ‘Dangerous Woman’ in the form of ‘Sweetener’ (2018), ‘Thank U, Next’ (2019), ‘Positions’ (2020), and ‘Eternal Sunshine’ (2024).

Last month, the pop star announced her eighth studio album, ‘Petal’ . She has described the LP as being “full of life and growing through the cracks of something cold and hard and challenging”.

Around the time of the tour announcement,  Grande said it would likely be her “last hurrah” .

She’s rarely played live since she completed her  huge tour in 2019 , only making a handful of appearances at non-profit events and award shows . Grande also performed on Saturday Night Live in 2024 .
