If you haven't heard it yet, Ariana Grande's new hit single "Thank U, Next" is hitting the charts right on schedule. Cuffing season is right around the corner with the holidays coming up, and Ariana is making sure girls have the confidence to be on their own.
Ariana is known for saying what she feels and making sure everyone is aware of it. Her recent single is causing the Twitter world to blow up (aside from all other political posts floating around). People all over are emphasizing the shade that has been thrown towards exes. Who taught Ariana to love? Who has taught you to love? To be patient? Taught you how to handle pain? Fans all over are thinking about past relationships and what has made them into the person they are today.
This year is a year of strength and building up confidence in young hearts all over. This song and other songs Ariana has written, is building the new revolution of powerful decision makers and strong-hearted girls. With "Thank U, Next" becoming so powerful and direct with its lyrics, it is encouraging shy personalities to step up and be strong and independent.
Ariana Grande started off on Teen Nick as a popular icon for those born before the 2000s and even early 2000 babies. As someone who is near that age group, I saw first hand how fans related to her and other actors on similar TV shows. After her popularity spiked and she became a chart-topping singing sensation, she became an icon for girls wanting to be unique and well-known. Her spunky looks and unique choice of style are a prime example for someone looking to get out of their shell and feel more comfortable just being themselves.
Being happy in your own skin comes with thanking the people and moments that built you into the person you are today. The exes who have taught you love, patience, and pain are brought out in Ariana's song, and it's recognized as a strength, not something that tore you down. Everything from your past builds you into the person you are today and creates the confidence to become a stronger woman who is happy on her own.
So thank U, Ariana. What's next?
