Barbra Streisand has dropped a behind-the-scenes video highlighting her recent collaboration with Ariana Grande and Mariah Carey on the stirring track "One Heart, One Voice". The song appears on Streisand's newly released album The Secret of Life: Partners, Volume Two, out now via Columbia Records.
Streisand took to Instagram to reflect on the collaboration's emotional core, writing, "When the idea of recording a song with Mariah and Ariana was first suggested, it felt inevitable that it would speak to female empowerment."
"The lyrics ‘we've got every right to make a choice' resonated with me. The song became a vehicle for three strong-willed women to join in voice and purpose. Thank you to both Mariah Carey and Ariana Grande for lending their talent and sharing this special moment with me."
In the video, the legendary star reflects on the team-up, saying, "When the idea of recording a song with Mariah and Ariana was first suggested, it felt inevitable that it would address female empowerment," Streisand shares.
For Carey, who has often cited Streisand as a personal inspiration, the experience was both surreal and emotional. "Ever since I was a little girl, I've loved Barbra," Carey says. "So when I got a chance to work with her on 'One Heart, One Voice', it was a huge honor."
Grande, who grew up idolizing both Carey and Streisand, called the moment "a dream come true". She adds, "Barbra has, quite literally, always been a part of my life. I went to go see Barbra with my mom, and we made it into the concert DVD somehow! We've come a long way from being in the audience to collaborating on the album."
The soaring ballad sees all three artists trading lines and harmonizing on a message of unity, resilience, and generational strength. The release marks a major moment for fans of powerhouse vocals and pop history alike, pairing three of the most influential and technically gifted singers of the last six decades.
The Secret of Life: Partners, Volume Two is a follow-up to Streisand's 2014 Partners album, which debuted at No. 1 on the Billboard 200 and featured duets with Stevie Wonder, John Legend, and Blake Shelton. The new collection continues that legacy, featuring collaborations with Paul McCartney, Josh Groban, Hozier, Laufey, and more.
Streisand, one of the most decorated artists in entertainment history, has notched 11 No. 1 albums on the Billboard 200 and earned eight Grammy wins, along with two Oscars, five Primetime Emmys, and countless other honors. Her duet partners on the track are no strangers to accolades either: Carey holds the record for the most No. 1 singles by a solo artist in Billboard Hot 100 history (19), while Grande boasts six No. 1 Hot 100 hits and remains one of the most streamed artists globally.
"One Heart, One Voice" marks the first time all three artists have appeared together on a single track.
