Barbra Streisand, Ariana Grande, and Mariah Carey sent their respective fan bases into a tizzy at reports they joined forces for the former’s new album: ‘The Secret of Life: Partners Volume 2.’

And while the album is loaded with celebrity guests like Sam Smith, Bob Dylan, Paul McCartney, Hozier, and more, it’s the Carey/Grande collab that’s had music lovers salivating in anticipation.

“In countless stories since ancient time / The poets spoke of it in verse and rhyme / A woman’s heart and soul can’t be defined / By words and reason alone,” sings Babs in the opening line of the Walter Afanasieff-produced ballad.

The full listen finally hit digital shelves on Friday (June 27), and – let us tell it – was definitely worth the wait.
