"Yes, And?" was compared to Madonna's "Vogue" (1990). Grande wrote and produced the song with Max Martin and Ilya Salmanzadeh.[2]

The song is about overcoming rumors and gossip. It arrived after media stories of Grande's relationship with her costar of the Wicked musical, Ethan Slater, and Slater's divorce.[3]

The video for the song is a tribute to singer Paula Abdul's music video for the song "Cold Hearted" (1989), featuring similar outfits and a similar scene of a meeting in a rehearsal hall.[4]

On January 22, 2024, it was reported that the song entered at number one on the US Billboard Hot 100, marking Grande's eighth US number-one hit.[5] It was also her sixth number-one debut, tying Taylor Swift for the most number-one entrances by women.[6]
