On Wednesday, the pop star, 28, officially announced her new single, “Houdini.” The song will drop on Nov. 9 at 7 p.m. ET.

Over the past few weeks, the hitmaker has also been posting and quickly deleting cryptic teasers — the clips themselves being illusions featuring mirrored images and close ups of the “Levitating” singer, as well as footage of her toying with a key on her tongue.
Although the teasers were archived on Instagram, they remain on her X profile, beginning with aphotoof herself that was posted on Oct. 12, debuting her new auburn look, with “miss me?” in the caption.
Thepoststhat followed include the text, “catch me or I go…,” “I’m not here for long” and the emojis “🔑✨ ,” inviting fans to sign up for updates on her website.
