It has been just under 11 months since Ariana Grande’s concert in Manchester was targeted by suicide bomber Salman Abedi in what has been dubbed “the most deadly attack in a decade”. 22 people were killed in the blast, including Abedi, and another 250 were taken to hospital with injuries.

Speaking earlier this year, Grande’s manager, Scooter Braun, said the star had “cried for days” over the loss of life in Manchester.

“She felt everything - every face they announced, every name, she wore on her sleeve,” he said, according to the BBC.

“Every bit of emotion because that’s who she is.”

Now, though, Ariana Grande has returned with an uplifting new single, No Tears Left To Cry. In it, she beautifully alludes to the tragedy, while channelling the resilience and optimism of her One Love benefit concert, held just two weeks after the atrocity.

The lyrics of the chorus state: “Right now I’m in a state of mind, I wanna be in like all the time.

“Ain’t got no tears left to cry, so I’m pickin’ it up, I’m pickin’ up. I’m lovin’, I’m livin’, I’m pickin’ it up.”

They go on to state: “Oh I just want you to come with me, we’re on another mentality. Ain’t got no tears left to cry (so don’t cry), so I’m pickin’ it up, I’m pickin’ up. I’m lovin’, I’m livin’, I’m pickin’ it up.”
