The first snippet is from track five on the album, titled 'oh well.' As she sings the lyrics, “Good things can replace dysfunction, obsession/ Thanks but I’ll see you right out/ Good luck on your way to hell/ Oh, well.”

The second snippet is from track seven, titled 'freak,' where she sings, “Someday all the seeds will open/ All of the human life I’ve dreamt of/ Will be real if I start over/ How will it feel?”

One fan account, "ariananators.wildin" was grateful for the clips, and in an Instagram post shared the AI snippet with the caption, "Thank God she gave us two real snippets…"
