Ariana Grande left a glowing review of Halle Bailey‘s new cover of “Hampstead,” one of six new tracks on the former’s Billboard 200-topping Eternal Sunshine Deluxe: Brighter Days Ahead.
On a video posted to Instagram of the Little Mermaid actress singing the emotional ballad in a recording studio and accompanying herself on guitar, the pop star wrote Thursday (April 10), “so beautiful” along with three hearts and a teary-eyed emoji. Grande also re-shared the cover on her Story.

In the clip, Bailey expertly strums along while expressively singing Grande’s reflective lyrics, her voice sounding crystal clear as she adds her own custom riffs to the original melody. “I left my heart at a pub in Hampstead/ And I misplaced my mind in a good way/ Threw away my reputation, but saved us more heartache/ Yes, I know it seems f–ked up, and you’re right,” she croons. “But quite frankly, you’re still wrong about everything/ So far off, your seat’s nowhere near the table/ But I find something sweet in your peculiar behavior/ ‘Cause I think to be so dumb must be nice.”
In her caption, the “Angel” singer wrote, “hampstead is my fav song off ariana’s deluxe :)”
Debuting this week at No. 59 on the Billboard Hot 100, “Hampstead” appears on the March 28 expanded reissue of Eternal Sunshine alongside new tracks “Intro (End of the World) – Extended,” “Twilight Zone,” “Warm,” “Dandelion” and “Past Life.” Sharing a name with the residential district in London where Grande reportedly lived while filming Wicked in 2023, the track is widely believed to be written about the Oscar nominee’s split from ex-husband Dalton Gomez.
Bailey’s cover comes a couple months after she and DDG — with whom she shares a young son, Halo — announced that they were splitting after more than two years together. “After much reflection and heartfelt conversations, Halle and I have decided to go our separate ways,” the “Moonwalking in Calabasas” rapper wrote on Instagram at the time. “This decision was not easy, but we believe it’s the best path forward for both of us. I cherish the time we’ve spent together and the love we’ve shared.”
On a song released last month, DDG seemingly vented about not being able to visit Halo. “Don’t take my son because he’s all I got/ I’m just having fun, I don’t love these thots … Tryna make me pay to see my son, that’s gonna make me hot,” he spits on “Don’t Take My Son.”
Bailey has also released new music this year, dropping “Back and Forth” on Valentine’s Day. Before that came singles “Because I Love You” and “Angel” in August.
