Ariana Grande brags about the size of her wallet in her latest single, 7 Rings. The instant hit was released, along with a sultry video, on Monday morning.

In the song, the 25-year-old boasts about the benefits and luxuries that come with having an excessive amount of money.

“Whoever said money can’t solve your problems must not have had enough money to solve ’em,” Grande sings in the second verse.

The song serves as the second single from her upcoming album, Thank U, Next. It’s also the first of Grande’s songs to be rapped almost entirely. It’s clear that the star is breathing fresh air into her style, and fans are loving it.
