The women dance around on a rooftop to the track as emojis fly across the screen, and they produce words from their hands, like 'positivity' and 'loyalty'.
But when 'Trump' and 'negativity' appear Ariana bats them away.
The star released two albums, Sweetener and Thank U, Next since August 2018 and six singles over the last year, and admitted she's found it more "authentic and rewarding" to bring music out on her own terms.
In response to a fan praising her, she recently replied: "It feels sm healthier & sm more authentic & rewarding. regardless of the outcome, i prefer this bc it's real & feels happy. no games"

She went on: "I love music. i love the ppl i make it w. these past few months made me fall in love w this job all over again. so thank u sm for being down."
However, she also said her career has been "really hard" on her mental health.
She thanked fans for sticking by her through her spate of "random, impulsive and excessive" music releases and said on Twitter recently: "Just saying. Thanks for being supportive of my random, impulsive and excessive music releases.
"The first few years of this were really hard on my mental health and energy.
"I was so tired from promo trips and was always losing my voice and never knew what city I was in when I woke up.
"It was so much. It was worth it and i am grateful for everything i learned and accomplished when I did things that way, of course.

"But I just feel so much more connected now and yeah... If I feel like I'm able to make special things with my incredible friends quickly, why not share them right away?
"It's a very dope feeling and has breathed so much air back into my lil lungs."
Ariana is currently touring with her two latest albums, which both debuted at Number One.
