Listen To Diana Ross’ Much-Anticipated, Feelgood New Single ‘Thank You’
The new track is an infectious, singalong celebration of the classic Diana Ross sound.
Diana Ross has shared “Thank You,” the lead track and title song from her much-anticipated first studio album since 2006’s covers set I Love You. The new full-length will be her first set based on new material since 1999’s Every Day Is A New Day. The song had its world premiere this morning (17) on BBC Radio 2.
The new track is a feelgood celebration of the classic Diana Ross sound, with echoes of vintage Motown songwriting. Its singalong chorus is sure to make the song a new live favorite when the storied entertainer returns to touring in 2022. The album will follow this fall, with UK release via Decca Records/UMG. Ms. Ross will visit the UK in June 2022 on the Thank You tour, described as “A Diamond Diana Music Celebration.” This supercedes the Top Of The World UK tour that was originally due to take place this month.
“This collection of songs is my gift to you with appreciation and love,” says Ms. Ross. “I am eternally grateful that I had the opportunity to record this glorious music at this time.”
Thank You was recorded in the superstar’s home studio, and promises “a powerful, inclusive musical message of love and togetherness.” Ms. Ross co-wrote and collaborated on the 13 songs along with such award-winning songwriters and producers as Jack Antonoff, Troy Miller, Triangle Park, Mark ‘Spike’ Stent, Prince Charlez, Amy Wadge, Neff-U, Freddie Wexler, Jimmy Napes, Tayla Parx, Fred White, and Nathanial Ledgewick.
“I dedicate this songbook of love to all of you, the listeners,” concludes Ms. Ross. “As you hear my voice you hear my heart. Let Love Lead the Way.”

I love, “The Old Girl,” since 1963 with “When The Lovelight Starts Shinning Trough His Eyes.” It began with The Supremes and it ended with “If We Hold On,” the last Diana Ross song worth mentioning.
Everything else is tainted with a mis-direction notion of what she sounded like and what she sounds like. Truly, she cannot sing with gusto or pizzazz anymore! She is no longer the Diana Ross of 1964 or the Diana Ross of 1984…with the exception of “If We Hold On.”
She should retire and save what is remembered: her voice and theatrics…in her 1963 – 1986, she was singular and spectacular. Today, she is a caricature and that is not complimentary…just as Mary Wilson became the “Baby Jane” of The Supremes.
