Grimes won't include "any" songs about Elon Musk on her upcoming album.
The 38-year-old singer is set to drop her first LP in seven years when Psy Opera is released in 2027, and she insisted the AI-inspired album won't feature any tracks about her billionaire ex.
She told the Swiftologist podcast: "I really didn’t want to write… I just didn’t want any of this to be about Elon."
However, Grimes hinted that there is more to come with the LP being released in two parts, and the second being "100 percent personal".
When she was asked if her personal life was too high stakes to open up about in song, she brushed off the idea.
She added: "Not at all. I just... they couldn't come first."
Referencing the technological and artificial intelligence themes of the record, she explained: “And I felt like this stuff is very relevant."
Grimes actually "regrets" not striking more of a balance between the two upcoming releases.
She said: “I sort of wish I had a bit more of the emotions on this side and a bit more computer on the other side. That’s my only regret about this album.”
When it comes to the next album being inspired by AI, Grimes described the tech as a "mirror".
She pondered: "It’s almost more of a… like, the AI is a mirror and like looking inward from what it’s showing us about ourselves."
Grimes and Elon Musk splits in 2022, having first been linked after the Met Gala back in May 2018.
Together, they have sons X Æ A-Xii, six, and Techno Mechanicus, four, and five-year-old daughter Exa Dark Sideræl.
Earlier this year, Grimes revealed how her new music helped her overcome issues in her personal life.
She told Interview magazine: "I totally quit music a couple of years ago. Everything I’d been going through with the public and my personal life and having kids, I was like, 'I’m just going to be a stay-at-home mom. Screw this.
"I couldn’t listen to music without getting PTSD. I was only interested in writing and reading. I started writing poetry, and then someone was like, 'Can you write a rap for this K-pop artist?' I started writing the rap and I was like, 'This is too good. I’m keeping this because it’s crazy.' But then we had a problem for eight months where I was just a white rapper.
"Luckily we moved past that, but it was this really cathartic thing. I actually took most of the stuff off the record because it was violently aggressive."
The music star - whose new album is called Psy Opera - admitted to experiencing "various stages of nihilism and vengefulness" at the height of her personal troubles.
However, writing her new album has proven to be a substitute for "therapy".
Grimes - who was in a relationship with Elon between 2018 and 2022 - said: "I was going through various stages of nihilism and vengefulness. I would not play it for the public, but I could send you some of the lyrics.
"For most people, it’s better to talk it out in therapy or whatever, but for me, I just have to burn it off."
