Ariana Grande dropped her highly anticipated single, "Positions," and the music video on Friday morning.

The new music video showcases the singer running the country as if she were president. The music video opens with a sharply dressed Grande hard at work with her cabinet excitedly sharing ideas and collaborating. Multiple races, genders, sexual orientations and body types are featured in Grande's diverse team.

Being a world leader, Grande switches "Positions" from being the boss to cooking up a storm in the kitchen, from tossing pizza dough and making pasta to sipping rosé straight from the bottle.

The singer shows off multiple sides of her personality in the music video, from watching a fireworks show from the Oval Office to happily strutting her sparkly pumps across the White House.

Grande also gives a deliberate nod to the USPS in her music video, placing a medal around a mail carrier's neck as their colleagues watch proudly.

The actual song, however, is about the many faces Grande wears to impress her lover, as she sings "Switchin' my positions for you/ Cookin' in the kitchen and I'm in your bedroom/ I'm in the Olympics way, I'm jumping through hoops/ Know my love infinite, nothin' I wouldn't do/ That I wouldn't do, switchin' for you."
