Brighter Days Ahead is a 2025 American musical science fiction drama short film written and directed by Christian Breslauer and Ariana Grande, the latter in her directorial debut. It is an accompanying piece to Grande's seventh studio album Eternal Sunshine (2024) and its reissue, which shares the same subtitle as the film.

Grande first teased a short film in an October 2024 Vanity Fair interview while promoting Wicked (2024). She continued to tease the album's deluxe edition in various interviews and public appearances before announcing it on March 10, 2025. She teased the short film two days prior, on March 8, 2025 before announcing it via an Instagram post on March 12, 2025. In the teaser trailer she posted alongside the announcement, it was also revealed that Grande would be reprising her role as Peaches, a character she introduced in the music video for "We Can't Be Friends (Wait for Your Love)", with the short film being a sequel to that work.
