Ariana Grande dropped a new music video on Friday following the release of her new album, "eternal sunshine."

In the music video for "we can't be friends (wait for your love)," which is on her new album, Grande stars as Peaches, a woman looking to erase memories with a former love, played by actor Evan Peters.

The music video opens with Grande filling out paperwork at a clinic called "Brighter Days," with a focus on a disclosure statement: "You have given extensive thought behind your decision and give 'Brighter Days Inc.' the exclusive permission to remove this person completely from your memory."

Grande is then escorted into a room where the process of erasing the memories begins. During the event, we see past memories between Grande's and Peters' characters and the timeline of their romance until all the memories have disappeared and are replaced with new ones.

In the chorus of the song, Grande sings: "We can't be friends / But I'd like to just pretend / You cling to your papers and pens / Wait until you like me again / Wait for your love."
