Former Nickelodeon Victorious star Ariana Grande has already made an impact on the music industry with her hit R&B song "The Way." Now, the singer is back to do it again with her new single 2013 "Baby I." A preview of the song was posted to her Instagram today (July 16) with the simple message of #6DaysUntilBabyI.

The short Instagram video focuses on the digital stereo of a Range Rover. A swell beat builds up, then a bombastic beat etches into the song. With a tough attitude, Grande digs right into singing the new single, creating one powerhouse of a 12-second clip.

Much like "The Way," the '90s R&B influence is clear on "Baby I," recalling artists such as Mariah Carey and Ciara.

Listen to the short clip of "Baby I" below.

 Though the preview for the new song was incredibly short, it made waves on Twitter, rising #6DaysUntilBabyI to a Trending Topic this morning. Fans have reacted positively to the new song's preview and are anxiously awaiting more music from Grande.

"#6DaysUntilBabyI can't wait. I heard part of the song, and it's perfect," tweeted fan @YounqEmiily. @SlowDownJoubs told Grande, "#6DaysUntilBabyI I am very anxious, I know it will be perfect."

"Baby I" will be released Monday, July 22 on iTunes.
