After his Hollywood debut with WICKED (2024)Grande has declared that his return to the interpretation will not be brief, and this short film is a confirmation of it.
The 26 -minute short written and directed by the big one with Christian Breslauer It is a continuation of the video clip of We Can’t Be Friends (Wait for Your Love)second single of the album. For the conceptual creation of the album, Ariana Grande takes great inspiration from one of her favorite films, Forget about me!

We Can’t Be Friends (Wait for Your Love) (2024)
The short film presents us to The old peaches versionwho is once again in the consultation of Bright Days Inc. However, now the company is capable of reproducing your most precious memories, or as they describe themselves, “As they made you feel at that time, once again”. In the waiting room we see Peaches in a wheelchair and with the difficulty of listening to the nurse when she calls her name, who leads her to an immense futuristic room where Peaches can relive four of his most precious memories.
The first set of projected memories On the big screen they belong to His childhoodwhere great images appear living simple moments with their family. On the other hand, in the second we can observe the Ariana Grande that we all know. Far from simplicity and childhood, now we see The international artist representing Eternal Sunshine and DandelionFourth song of the Deluxe version.
The third memory begins with great lying in his room with a white satin dress, accompanied by Twilight ZoneSecond Song of Deluxe. When joining, he walks through the house in ruins until he reaches a flooded room, creating an analogy with a stormy and now finished relationship. It is when he leaves the house with the flame entry that begins to sound supernaturaldefined by the artist as “he hit that escaped us “. After walking between chaos and fire, Peaches is abducted by a blue light. During his rise, he draws attention how his collar in the form of a Levite flower, as if he challenged gravity.
His last memory totally changes the style of the short: of blue and cold colors and images that touch the celestial, we pass to black and white. The story moves us to a bar where the PEACHES FATHERplayed by Butera edfather of great, who feels a immense pain after losing his daughter. During a hallucination that has sitting in the bar, we see that the necklace that had a big one in the previous memory was his gift.

bRIGHTER DAYS AHEAD (2025)
The careful way in which Ariana Grande has created the entire era “Eternal Sunshine” It can be reflected in the use of colors. While in the standard version of the album and in We Can’t Be Friends (Wait for Your Love) Red and warm tones predominate, the deluxe version of the album and “Eternal Sunshine Deluxe: Bright Days Ahead” They are marked by blue and colder tones.
This is an alternation with Gondry’s film, where red represents happiness and falling in love and blue, sadness and loss. For great, the meaning attributed to colors is inverse, because Red is the passion of pain and wanting to forget, as opposed to blue, love and nostalgia. This detail of the color constitutes a tribute to the film, in case to launch the album accidentally on Jim Carrey’s birthday would not have been enough.
With «Bright Days Ahead» Ariana Grande shows us something that could never be told in a 3 -minute music video, and opens a window to her life and invites you to know your most vulnerable partthat with which we all identify for the simple fact of being human: Concern for the passage of time, nostalgia, old age, and, especially, love.
