The 22-year-old, who is known for her signature long brown hair styled half up and half down, looked phenomenal in her edgier look, which she revealed on Instagram Tuesday.

In the black and white photo, the singer sported the new white-blonde hair as she wore a white bra.

Whether it's a blonde wig or if the color was digitally lightened, the actress can definitely pull off the icy blonde locks. Her waist-length hair in the photo was voluminous and cascading down the front and back of her shoulders.

The highly anticipated cover art comes after the artist posted pixelated shots of the image to her Instagram, each time bringing it more into focus as the date of the release neared.

The song, which will drop on October 30, comes a year after her album, My Everything, was released.

In the cover art, the Problem singer wears a white spaghetti bra/crop top and high-waisted bottoms as she crosses her hands across her chest.

Wearing Sixties-inspired cat eyes, big lashes and light-colored lipstick, the starlet looks off to the side for the image.

The petite Victorious actress decided to add an edgy touch by wearing black polish on her nails.

The musician, who wore round earrings for the cover, captioned the photo she shared with her 45.3 million Instagram fans: '#16daysTilFocus new single 'Focus' #oct30 shot by @alfredoflores.'

This has proved to be a good week for the songwriter, who was just named as a nominee for Favorite Female Artist in the pop/rock category and Artist of the Year for the upcoming American Music Awards.

Along with a new single, the Break Free singer recently released a fragrance, called Ari by Ariana Grande, in mid-September.

The hit maker, who launched her perfume in New York with a mini-concert, described the scent on Good Morning America as 'really sweet and yummy.'

Last week, the Yours Truly artist shared a video on Instagram of her kissing her former Victorious cast mate, Elizabeth Gillies, on the lips, which she swore was 'posted on accident.'

In the short clip, the co-stars stand next to each other as Elizabeth fixes the petite star's hair.

Elizabeth then tells her that the kiss 'has to be pretty,' followed by a quick kiss.
