On March 18, 2021, Ariana and a few of her dancers held a livestream on Twitter, where she played the first minute of the song. On March 28, 2021, Ariana posted multiple snapchats of the same snippets she shared in the previous live stream, along with one more, as well as a string sample from "I Don't Care".
