NEW YORK — It's been nearly a year since the Manchester concert bombing, and Ariana Grande is "pickin' it up" again. On Friday, the singer released her first song since the during her concert in the United Kingdom.

The 24-year-old singer posted a video of "No Tears Left to Cry" on Instagram on Friday.

The emotional song includes the lyrics: "Right now I'm in a state of mind/ I wanna be in like all the time/ Ain't got no tears left to cry/ So I'm pickin' it up, I'm pickin' up."

Grande suspended her Dangerous Woman Tour after a terrorist bombing killed 22 people and injured more than 500 at Manchester Arena on May 22, 2017. She returned for the weeks later, which raised funds for victims of the attack. 

Last June, Grande was made after a unanimous vote by the city council. The singer has paid tribute to victims of the attack, who would have turned 9 last July. During Grande's July show in Buenos Aires, the singer reprised her take on "Somewhere Over the Rainbow," which she also performed at One Love. She closed off the song by blowing a kiss and saying, "Happy birthday, Saffie."
