Although it's cuffing season, and Christmas is right around the corner, while people are looking for someone to cozy up by the fire with, Ariana Grande drops the ball and shows everyone that you are happy as a single, independent woman who doesn't need any man in her newest single, "thank u, next".
Ariana Grande - thank u, next (audio)www.youtube.com
Releasing this song in the light of her recent breakup with Pete Davidson and recently losing her ex, Mac Miller, Ari really came in strong and released the bop of the year. Writing a song about exes, self-love, and emotional healing with no sense of bitterness is the kind of breakup music that needs to be put out more! This shit really SNAPS.
"Thought I'd end up with Sean,
But he wasn't a match.
Wrote some songs about Ricky,
Now I listen and laugh.
Even almost got married,
and for Pete, I'm so thankful.
Wish I could say thank you to Malcolm,
'Cause he was an angel." Right away, Ariana pops up, listing some of her exes but forgets to mention Jai Brooks and Nathan Skyes, (But, we don't talk about those relationships, they were jokes.) and goes on to say how thankful she was for them, for teaching her love, pain, and patience.
She did something other girls would be afraid to do and proved to them that it's okay to move on, and it's okay to accept who you are as a person, and who you were with certain people because they all teach you valuable lessons.
"Plus I met someone else, we have better discussions. I know they say I move on too fast, but this one gon' last. Cause her name is Ari, and I'm so good with that." IT'S ALL ABOUT THAT SELF LOVE AND RECOGNITION, LADIES! LOVE YOURSELF!
I'm so excited for AG5, which fans learned last night is going to be titled, "thank u, next" after her newest single and you know with just that title, and this single? AG5 is going to pop off. Sweetener was a bop, and the grind never stops for Ari. Her sweetener world tour starts next year and I honestly cannot wait for that show.
So here's to "thank u, next" and thank you, Ari, for being that bitch and showing everyone that it's all about self-love before anything else.
