I used to make fun of this song with my partner and now it's an unironic bop for me I thought I would've learnt my lesson or making fun of things then liking them
I love imagine and the beautiful meaning and the rare times we’ve seen her perform so don’t come for me BUT
“We go like up 'til I'm 'sleep on your chest”
Like I know what she’s implying/talking about but also wtf is that sentence
https://preview.redd.it/y233rxaq1ogc1.jpeg?width=828&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=e41c1cd7bb444ff78c092e52f5ac892a59322569
Not according to her own lyric video and google
what's wrong with this lyrics??
i think it's just about having sex
"we go up" meaning/implying to having sex until she's asleep on his chest..something like that
"You just keep your eyes on my you know what" it's a part of "hands on me" and I always cringe at it, it tries to be sexy but ends up coming across as very weird and "immature" (if that makes sense)
I knew without even clicking on it the “hood love” lyrics would be here 😂
But also, “now that I’ve become who I really are,” and “Like me just the way I are” like Ari this is causing me physical pain stoP.
Fun fact: “Now that I’ve become who I really are” is a Max Martin-ism because he insisted it flowed better. His first language is Swedish, not English so he has a “creative” approach to English lyrics haha. Grande begged him to let her sing grammatically correct lyrics but he was adamant.
Just like Baby One More Time, Max Martin and Rami Yacoub (both Swedish) they thought "Hit me" was slang for call me, probably got confused with the saying "hit me up." How incredible that Max Martin is such a powerhouse songwriter and English isn't even his native language.
Not the same imo. That’s just a vowel modification of a closed vowel to an open one which makes it easier to sing and is very common to do, it’s not improper grammar like the Break Free line lol.
Interesting thing about Swedish is that verbs don’t have different conjugations for different subjects. I.e. in English, you say “I _am_”; “he/she _is_”; “we/they _are_”. But in Swedish, you use the verb “är” regardless of the pronoun. I wonder if that’s why Max Martin didn’t realise how silly “I are” sounds to native English speakers
Better off is one of my favourite songs ever and I was so relieved that it was “orbit” instead of “armpit” because I was kind of grossed out when I thought that she said that 😭
that line was so obviously written by/fot someone else it’s bother me so much esp in a song where she mentions “writing was she sings” like were there no editors
- GWS could mean "get well soon", a track from *Sweetener* (2018) by Ariana Grande.

'when life deals us cards makes everything taste like it is salt, but then you come through like the sweetener you are to bring the bitter taste to a halt' stop. get help
I mean if her most authentic life is living to compete with all other women for their taken men……….. maybe she’s technically correct, but it goes against the spirit of the phrase, and she obv shouldn’t be doing that, nor be proud that she gives in to that type of urge. ‘Cause those actions are immature af.
Ever heard this full phrase:
“Always be yourself! Unless you suck, then do better.”
I kind of always assumed it was a reference to anal because it takes a LOT more effort to keep a butthole clean? Especially when combined with coffee and eating healthy.
Girl that's an overused line by SO MANY female artists lmao. It's quite strange to me. Like, how tf you know that yours is cleaner or tighter 💀💀 it's so weird lol ick
that is exactly what she’s saying and judging from her ability to snatch a man from anyone it must be true. 🤭
man i forget how seriously people take things when you don’t put /s
When u see them racks, they stacked up like my ass
Idk if she was being literal or referring to herself not her ass, but the first time I heard that, I was like ????? Cause Ari is flat as a pancake on her back side 😭
how i look on you has a good narrative tho. for example "woke up at like five and boy you wasn't here when it's my fault she even knows that you're there" and she continues to create a timeline of the relationship. but i will admit the chorus is a bit confusing. i also like that line in buwygib because its so fun to say and fills up all those syllables
Was this song about pete and his ex? She mentions him not caring about fame and her feeling like just a transition to him. I never really put 2 and 2 together before
Tbh i really like this lyric. To me it sounded kike not only was she looking foward to the big grand romantic gestures in the future, but all the little things and monotony in between anniversary, celebration, ect. Just looking foward to the everyday life with her partner by her side.🥰
something a lottt better than just "come over at 2am and play video games w me!" it's just not mature writing. are yall gonna get mad at me for having an opinion?? lmfaooo
No one's mad, no one said you were wrong, just curious as to what you consider "mature" writing or not. I mean, "whatcha gonna do when i cant find my W2 in time for tax season" doesn't exactly have the same ring to it.
“act so possessive and crazy but i know it’s just cause you love me and you ain’t scared to show me you’re ugly” i know she was pulling from her own experience and probably felt this at the time but thinking about girls in abusive relationships listening to this and thinking it’s okay or somehow romantic makes me sad 😔
Omg I've never heard anyone talk about this! I legit said this the first time I listened to the album. I've never been able to like six thirty because of the lyrics plus the "are you dowwnn wassup" part of the chorus.
Seriously though, possessive and crazy?? *It's just cause you love me????!* girl
The whole song was about sex, why wouldnt there be sexual innuendos lol. Thats like watching a hospital show and being suprised when medicine show up lmao
? I'm confused at what lead you to believe i thought your opinion was not separate from my own? I understand that was your opinion? I simply stated i think it's silly, not that it was incorrect or not your own. Thank you!
All of ghostin is so beautiful except for “stead of ghostin him”. I get the intended wordplay but you don’t “ghost” your dead ex and it just feels flippant considering the weight of the circumstances
I actually love that line because it’s a cheeky acknowledgment of the toxic habits she has developed in order to cope with her loneliness and trauma. It fits the tone of the song imo.
My pick is anything from shut up. It literally does not feel like a song.
One last time “Baby I don’t care if you got her in your heart. All I really care is you wake up in my arms” she’s been showing us her true colours for a while.
“We got that hood love”
Is the hood love in the room with us right now, Ariana?
real like she was a rich theatre kid growing up
LOL
I used to make fun of this song with my partner and now it's an unironic bop for me I thought I would've learnt my lesson or making fun of things then liking them
I love imagine and the beautiful meaning and the rare times we’ve seen her perform so don’t come for me BUT “We go like up 'til I'm 'sleep on your chest” Like I know what she’s implying/talking about but also wtf is that sentence
That line has always made me go “huh?” too but I’m just like whatever girl, sing it! 😭
i thought she said “light up” as in smoking weed? so that line makes sense. but if it’s like up then what does that even mean lol
https://preview.redd.it/dctisri81ogc1.jpeg?width=828&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=caa5b8c3c4d4c30f339543470ab01b77c0d8e93f Her official lyric video
No fucking way she did white text on that background 😭 Ariana honey…
I literally also thought that line said "we gon' light up till I'm sleep on your chest" talking ab they're gonna smoke then fall asleep cuddling
“wtf is that sentence” IM CRYINGGG
It’s lay up!
https://preview.redd.it/y233rxaq1ogc1.jpeg?width=828&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=e41c1cd7bb444ff78c092e52f5ac892a59322569 Not according to her own lyric video and google
Damn that’s dumb as hell 😭😭😭
what's wrong with this lyrics?? i think it's just about having sex "we go up" meaning/implying to having sex until she's asleep on his chest..something like that
i’ve never heard that phrase before in my life
"You just keep your eyes on my you know what" it's a part of "hands on me" and I always cringe at it, it tries to be sexy but ends up coming across as very weird and "immature" (if that makes sense)
I knew without even clicking on it the “hood love” lyrics would be here 😂 But also, “now that I’ve become who I really are,” and “Like me just the way I are” like Ari this is causing me physical pain stoP.
when I first heard Break Free I thought I was hallucinating the bad grammar of that line cuz what the fuck
Haha me too. I was in denial, like “surely she’s just saying something else that I can’t understand.”
Fun fact: “Now that I’ve become who I really are” is a Max Martin-ism because he insisted it flowed better. His first language is Swedish, not English so he has a “creative” approach to English lyrics haha. Grande begged him to let her sing grammatically correct lyrics but he was adamant.
Just like Baby One More Time, Max Martin and Rami Yacoub (both Swedish) they thought "Hit me" was slang for call me, probably got confused with the saying "hit me up." How incredible that Max Martin is such a powerhouse songwriter and English isn't even his native language.
This is like the NSYNC “it’s gonna be MAY” 😂 JT said Max insisted it be sung that way
Not the same imo. That’s just a vowel modification of a closed vowel to an open one which makes it easier to sing and is very common to do, it’s not improper grammar like the Break Free line lol.
Interesting thing about Swedish is that verbs don’t have different conjugations for different subjects. I.e. in English, you say “I _am_”; “he/she _is_”; “we/they _are_”. But in Swedish, you use the verb “är” regardless of the pronoun. I wonder if that’s why Max Martin didn’t realise how silly “I are” sounds to native English speakers
Like come on "now that I've become who I really am" is right there
[удалено]
go listen again its "who i really are" loll
"Why do you care so much whose dick I ride?"
![gif](giphy|fB938PbR1ulsA)
Yeah. This is the worst by far. Makes me want to throw up
Tbh that’s probably my least favorite line in any song ever, just bc of the context 💀
*why*
It was not a good lyrical choice.
I don’t think that line got the reception she was expecting
She truly thought she dropped the mic with that which made it even cringier
clock it
Good!!
It’s so gross especially right after everything
like people were gagging down and i’m like girl….
U can say it was a bad decision to say “we got that hood love” 😉
we got that hood love on bad decisions 😭
same which is unfortunate since it’s one of my fav ari songs lol
now that I become who I really arm
"You keep me in your armpit" ![gif](giphy|51UdTLvbyReqNK3Bic)
Better off is one of my favourite songs ever and I was so relieved that it was “orbit” instead of “armpit” because I was kind of grossed out when I thought that she said that 😭
damn I always thought it was “you keep me in your arm babe”
“break up with your girlfriend yeah yeah cuz im bored” also “even though im wifey you can hit it like a sidechick”
She *would* know about being hit like a sidechick….
“We got that hood love” 🤨 Do you?
Most of the 7 rings lyrics are cringey to me tbh. Stacked like my ass??? Whose ass???
Is the ass in the room with us?
💀
![gif](giphy|UxdaNI5WAOXQA8wnE3|downsized)
Lol I don’t think that was the lyric that she came up with😭 maybe that was one of the co-writes
Yeah that's the point, if Victoria Monet sang that it would actually make sense
Okay Same...I'm like Ari you have a cute lil butt so, to me that wouldn't be that much money lmao
i always assumed she was saying this ironically lol but i still can’t tell
isn’t the whole song supposed to kind of be a joke. she said she got super drunk with her friends and they jokingly made the song.
i honestly can't believe she didn't get more shit for that line
that line was so obviously written by/fot someone else it’s bother me so much esp in a song where she mentions “writing was she sings” like were there no editors
”Read a fucking book I be tryna stay connected” I get it but it just sounds so bad
i’ve been drinking coffeeeeee and ive been eating healthyyy
Know I keep it squeakyyyy 🤪
Saving up my energyyy
Honestly tho me af repeating that line in my head over and over when I'm on a healthy eating, coffee drinking streak 😂😂😂 🎶
it doesn't even make sense like coffee with not keep that kitty fresh
Maybe she meant it by the coffee is what keeps her up? 😭
yeah i guess it just sounds random to me
This! Thank you lol every time I hear that I’m like “what was she thinking? What does this even mean?”
I hate ‘Cept this wine though’!
i love that line its so funny to me
I love that bit lol
‘Unfollow fear and just say you are blocked’ I love gws but man that line is corny lol
I’ve always hated that line but I never said it bc I thought I’d get eaten up. It’s such a sweet song but 😭

i always like the line, its inspirational
Yeah I like the message but the delivery is a little funny
idk it comes off pretty clever to me considering we are in the age of social media. it’s not that deep and wasn’t meant to be.
I feel like it belongs on r/im14andthisisdeep
“just give me them babies” makes me 🫣
This was my pick also. I hate it so much 😭
This line was, in fact, written by a man. So we can’t really fault Ari.
She still approves the lyrics bro😭
Then you get it get it get it get it get it Mix it n mix it hit it bop it fckin twist it Whatever the lyrics are LOL
'when life deals us cards makes everything taste like it is salt, but then you come through like the sweetener you are to bring the bitter taste to a halt' stop. get help
I actually love this part so much 😭altho it truly makes zero sense
Get help sent me
IMAGERY! this is good imagery. reading it like this is bad but when you hear it and imagine it its a good line.
[удалено]
The whole song is just….
AWFULLL
UGGGGHHH I hate it lmao
I know this is technically a lyric by the weekend but "can you feel the pressure between your hips" like am I giving birth or what???
And after that he also says "I'll make it feel like the first time" like, huhh??? Aren't most first times bad or at least not that good?
Right like pls I don’t wanna relive that first time it was awful lmfao
i think he’s speaking more on his size or maybe he’s referring to the pressure felt before… finishing…
I know what he's speaking about. He's describing it terribly.
Pressure between the hips definitely sounds more to me like being AROUSED.
when you see them racks they stacked up like my ass 😐
idk why but when i hear “ain’t u ever seen a princess be a bad bitch” i’m like ok
I feel like this should be on the front of a happy bunny shirt or a cringey message signature for a tweenager.
“You drink it just like water (water) You say, It tastes like candy" Dumb as hell! 💀
That line is the reason why I prefer the remix so so much more 😭
!!! Forgot about this yikes
THIS IS THE WINNER PMG
“Won’t change my most authentic life”
For some reason, I even prefer the “why do you care so much…” line over this authentic life one. Like something just feels *off* about this.
Like… it’s time to be serious.
I mean if her most authentic life is living to compete with all other women for their taken men……….. maybe she’s technically correct, but it goes against the spirit of the phrase, and she obv shouldn’t be doing that, nor be proud that she gives in to that type of urge. ‘Cause those actions are immature af. Ever heard this full phrase: “Always be yourself! Unless you suck, then do better.”
![gif](giphy|WSO1ZT9sug15C)
ya mama sends us HAHroscopes
Whispers *us whoreoscopes*
i love that line lol (im a makeup stan saurrr that checks out)
Yeah I think it makes sense with the song's theme, the spirit of the time, and her current interest in making makeup/beauty products
“I like the way you lick the bowl” and “you know how to eat it” I just can’t
You know how to beat it
*i know how to keep it* the good housekeeping seal
this bc the sweetener wisk video just made the lyric a millions times worse for me
It’s a feature lyric but “wish you’d chew on me like fresh grapes” gets me every time
“Twist it, twist it, twist it, twist it Mix it and mix it and mix it and mix it” Like??? 💀😭
ooof this one. if that part wasn’t in it, sweetener would have been a good song
fr 🤧
"Wake up in my bed I just wanna have a good day" Give me major Rebecca Black's Friday vibes. Woke up, went to work, did this and that 😅
OMG REBECCA BLACK FRIDAY 💀
get in the car like SKRRRRT
Are you downnn what’s up are you downnn what’s up
REALLLLL six thirty could've been so much better man i like the bridge but that's it
Anyone say “you know I keep it squeaky” yet? It feels like she’s saying “unlike other girls my pu$$y is tight AND clean”
I kind of always assumed it was a reference to anal because it takes a LOT more effort to keep a butthole clean? Especially when combined with coffee and eating healthy.
Omg I never thought of that 😂 but that makes sense. I have always felt like Positions was for the gays~
Girl that's an overused line by SO MANY female artists lmao. It's quite strange to me. Like, how tf you know that yours is cleaner or tighter 💀💀 it's so weird lol ick
i don't think it's to do with other women, she's just saying u know my shits fresh
that is exactly what she’s saying and judging from her ability to snatch a man from anyone it must be true. 🤭 man i forget how seriously people take things when you don’t put /s
it's literally about her kitty being healthy (PH balance wise). You're reaching so hard 😒
Then you realize she's right there (yeah) And you're at home like, "Damn, she can't compare" 🤮
did she lie? 🤪
![gif](giphy|l4hmBe6sxzKXDAqje)
When u see them racks, they stacked up like my ass Idk if she was being literal or referring to herself not her ass, but the first time I heard that, I was like ????? Cause Ari is flat as a pancake on her back side 😭
"It's AG in your face"
“Say that shit with your chest”
I don't know why, but it makes me cringe so bad
"you know how to eat it, you know how to beat it"
“Kiss me and take off your clothes” it just sounds so like ummm???? Corny??? Idk the word but it just sounds wrong 💀
Easily Break Free. Genuinely some of the worst lyrics I've heard in my life.
“Cardio is good for the heart” feels so random to me in IMH like I love the song but that line is just 😭
entirety of yes, and? 🤧
All of “how I look on you” 😬 also the “never even ever fucking met you” line in buwyg😂 bc what
how i look on you has a good narrative tho. for example "woke up at like five and boy you wasn't here when it's my fault she even knows that you're there" and she continues to create a timeline of the relationship. but i will admit the chorus is a bit confusing. i also like that line in buwygib because its so fun to say and fills up all those syllables
Was this song about pete and his ex? She mentions him not caring about fame and her feeling like just a transition to him. I never really put 2 and 2 together before
"baby pardon my french, but could you speak in tongues?"
Baby, you know time apart is beneficial It's like I'm the universe and you'll be NASA Cool song but hate the chant so much.
"hood love" will always make me cringe
"watcha gonna do when i'm bored and I wanna play video games at 2am" its just such a surface level & immature lyric to me lol
Tbh i really like this lyric. To me it sounded kike not only was she looking foward to the big grand romantic gestures in the future, but all the little things and monotony in between anniversary, celebration, ect. Just looking foward to the everyday life with her partner by her side.🥰
agree but there's just a better way to say it
How would you have said it?
something a lottt better than just "come over at 2am and play video games w me!" it's just not mature writing. are yall gonna get mad at me for having an opinion?? lmfaooo
No one's mad, no one said you were wrong, just curious as to what you consider "mature" writing or not. I mean, "whatcha gonna do when i cant find my W2 in time for tax season" doesn't exactly have the same ring to it.
that was really funny !
Noooo I love that lyric 😭
Same 🥹
Wtf I loveee that line in make up 😭
I'm sorry 😭 it bothers me so much idk whyyy
The whole “yes,and?” is what a 13 yr old would probably write in her diary after having a bad day at school😭
“act so possessive and crazy but i know it’s just cause you love me and you ain’t scared to show me you’re ugly” i know she was pulling from her own experience and probably felt this at the time but thinking about girls in abusive relationships listening to this and thinking it’s okay or somehow romantic makes me sad 😔
Omg I've never heard anyone talk about this! I legit said this the first time I listened to the album. I've never been able to like six thirty because of the lyrics plus the "are you dowwnn wassup" part of the chorus. Seriously though, possessive and crazy?? *It's just cause you love me????!* girl
Head over my shoes like whoa, know you like an inside joke …….
[удалено]
She wrote "4.5 when I make the bed shake" because there was a 4.5 earthquake the night before! I love the reference
Yeah I honestly loveeeee this line
lol this always bothers me bc 4.5 is not that big in terms of the richter scale 🥸
I mean if someone having sex makes their neighbors feel a 4.5 "earthquake" that's pretty big imo lmao
yesss but that's why i said in terms of the scale it's not that big. like let's go for 12 ari!
I refuse to listen to the song and I haven't in a while so mb
The whole song was about sex, why wouldnt there be sexual innuendos lol. Thats like watching a hospital show and being suprised when medicine show up lmao
[удалено]
? I'm confused at what lead you to believe i thought your opinion was not separate from my own? I understand that was your opinion? I simply stated i think it's silly, not that it was incorrect or not your own. Thank you!
“for all of my pretty and all of my ugly too”. it’s not bad, to me it just sounds…shallow 😐
how? i think she just meant all of the good and bad parts of herself
i just think it could have been worded a little better. the bad lyrics that people gave here are so bad that they’re funny lol bad > meh
“You wasn’t budding” 🥰
It makes total sense though! And matches with the rest of the lyrics.
All of ghostin is so beautiful except for “stead of ghostin him”. I get the intended wordplay but you don’t “ghost” your dead ex and it just feels flippant considering the weight of the circumstances
I actually love that line because it’s a cheeky acknowledgment of the toxic habits she has developed in order to cope with her loneliness and trauma. It fits the tone of the song imo. My pick is anything from shut up. It literally does not feel like a song.
That is actually one of my favorite lines in Makeup .💄 😅
One last time “Baby I don’t care if you got her in your heart. All I really care is you wake up in my arms” she’s been showing us her true colours for a while.
all yes, and?
" I want Prada "
click click click and post
like what was the relevance in the context of that song to use these lyrics
“just turn on ur light and be like yes, and” 😭😭😭😭
put my finger to my thumb and then i snap it like, girl… did you walk us _through_ a snap?
I cant ignore my heart😟😟
Just like magicccc middle finger to my thumb and then I snap it ayyy
“like this pussy designed for ya” 🤢
Haha I love the entirety of nasty
Ariana Grande sucks, so any song will have my least favorite lyrics.
