Ariana Grande – Thank U Next (download)

Ariana Grande drops a surprise new single called “Thank U, Next.” The title of the track references the several days of drama between Grande and Davidson that preceded it, stemming from a promo that Davidson appeared in for Saturday’s “SNL” episode last week, in which he jokingly proposed to musical guest Maggie Rogers. When she rejected him, he cracked, “0 for 3,” referencing his broken engagement with Grande and past attempts at love.

Grande didn’t think the joke was very funny, slamming Davidson in several since-deleted tweets. “For somebody who claims to hate relevancy u sure love clinging to it huh,” she wrote. “Thank u, next.”

Davidson is one of the many exes Grande references in the song’s opening lines, along with Big Sean, Ricky Alvarez and Mac Miller, the latter of whom she remembers most fondly: “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.”

The rest of the song takes a less sincere tone, as she sings, “Thank u, next / Thank u, next / Thank u, next / I’m so (expletive) grateful for my ex.”

Grande seemingly reveals that she’s moved on to another man — “Plus, I met someone else / We having better discussions” — before revealing that the soulmate she’s singing about is, in fact, herself: “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.”
