Ariana Grande Reflects on Her Past Relationships in New Single “thank u, next”
“Wish I could say thank you to Malcolm ’cause he was an angel.”
Having delivered a moving performance of “The Wizard and I” earlier this week on NBC‘s special program, A Very Wicked Halloween: Celebrating 15 Years on Broadway, Ariana Grande is back to release a brand new track. Announced on Saturday night (November 3) on her social media channels, the bitter-sweet ballad titled “thank u, next” sees the songstress reflecting upon her personal life and relationships.
In the mellow song, Grande openly expresses gratitude towards her ex-fiancé Pete Davidson, as well as her late boyfriend Mac Miller, for teaching her about patience, love and pain. The singer muses in the first verse of the track:
”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”
The heartfelt message is written throughout the rest of the song:
“One taught me love
One taught me patience
One taught me pain
Now, I’m so amazing
I’ve loved and I’ve lost”
