Ariana Grande is having fun behind the scenes of her Yours Truly debut album. And she’s using Twitter and YouTube to make sure everybody knows about it.

Want to watch Ariana Grande? Just hit that button.

The 20-year-old Sam & Cat star looks energetic on the set — even if her crew appears to spend a lot of time rolling around on their backs on the floor. Heh.

In late July Ariana Grande shipped her new single Baby I to iTunes and YouTube. Give Baby I a listen right here.

The social media savvy Grande has now apparently changed the name of the debut album from Daydreamin’ to Yours Truly.

Here’s the first announcement of the new Yours Truly cover art posted from Ariana Grande’s Twitter account:

At the time of writing, here’s the official album artwork for Ariana Grande’s Yours Truly:

Ariana Grande’s debut album Yours Truly hits the shelves on September 3.
