\n\tAriana Grande<\/a>\u2018s song \u201cPetal\u201d didn\u2019t just bloom overnight. In a newly shared video of the pop star working in the studio with producers Max Martin and Ilya Salmanzadeh, she shows how the trio meticulously grew the track from the ground up.<\/p>\n

\n\tThe clip, shared Thursday (Sept. 17), opens with Grande chilling on a couch in the studio, sporting a pale pink knit head wrap. Martin sits next to her with a guitar, while Salmanzadeh mans the computer on the other side of the room.<\/p>\n

\n\tAfter listening to one take of Grande mumbling words as she tests out vocal melodies and rhythms over the instrumental track, Martin \u2014 making silly faces at the camera \u2014 declares, \u201cSick!\u201d<\/p>\n

\n\t\u201cThat\u2019s pretty!\u201d Grande agrees. \u201cI like those notes.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n\t\u201cthe day petal was born,\u201d the Grammy winner captioned the clip.<\/p>\n

\n\tGrande, of course, would later add completed lyrics to the melodies she established with the production team, and the finished product would turn into the title track of her eighth studio album, petal. The LP debuted atop the Billboard 200<\/a> in August and features the Billboard Hot 100<\/a> <\/a>No. 1 hit \u201cHate That I Made You Love Me.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n\tThe Wicked actress was in the middle of her Eternal Sunshine Tour when petal dropped. Shortly prior to and after its release, she began incorporating songs from the full-length into the trek\u2019s setlist, recording live versions that Grande later packaged into a live album<\/a> released after the tour ended in September. <\/p>\n

\n\tShe\u2019s now entering a period of downtime that was announced before the tour\u2019s conclusion, though she does plan to fulfill press obligations for Focker-in-Law, as Billboard confirmed <\/a>earlier in the month.<\/p>\n

\n\tWatch Grande plant the seeds of \u201cPetal\u201d below.<\/p>\n
