VIVA – Ariana Grande kembali dengan lagu barunya yang berjudul Thank U, Next. Lagu ini menceritakan tentang patah hati dan cara Ariana melaluinya.
Ariana pun memasukkan nama-nama mantan dalam lirik lagunya. Big Sean, rapper yang dia pikir adalah jodohnya, tapi ternyata tidak, lalu ada Ricky Alvarez, penari latarnya yang membuatnya tertawa mengingat masa lalunya, Pete Davidson yang sudah hampir menikahinya tapi batal, dan mendiang Mac Miller yang menurut Ariana adalah seorang malaikat.
Lagu tersebut tak berisi cacian pada mantan-mantan penyanyi 25 tahun ini. Ariana malah mengucapkan terima kasih, karena dia bisa merasakan cinta dan sakit, serta belajar dari perjalanan asmaranya.
Ariana Grande juga membuat lagu ini mengharukan, karena menyinggung sedikit kisah orangtuanya. "Suatu hari, aku akan berjalan di altar pernikahan, bergandeng tangan dengan ibuku. Aku akan berterima kasih pada ayahku, karena ibuku tumbuh dari drama," begitu arti sepenggal liriknya.
Berikut lirik lengkap lagu Thank U, Next dari Ariana Grande
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
One taught me love
One taught me patience
And one taught me pain
Now, I'm so amazing
I've loved and I've lost
But that's not what I see
So, look what I got
Look what you taught me
And for that, I say
Thank you, next
Thank you, next
Thank you, next
I'm so f' grateful for my ex
Thank you, next
Thank you, next
Thank you, next
I'm so f'...
Spend more time with my friends
I ain't worried 'bout nothin'
Plus, I met someone else
We havin' 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
She taught me love
She taught me patience
And she handles pain
That shit's amazing
I've loved and I've lost
But that's not what I see
Just look what I've found
Ain't no need for searching, and for that, I say
Thank you, next
Thank you, next
Thank you, next
I'm so f' grateful for my ex
Thank you, next
Thank you, next
Thank you, next
I'm so f' grateful for my ex
Thank you, next
Thank you, next
Thank you, next
I'm so f*...
One day I'll walk down the aisle
Holding hands with my mama
I'll be thanking my dad
'Cause she grew from the drama
Only wanna do it once, real bad
Gon' make that shit last
God forbid something happens
Least this song is a smash
I've got so much love
Got so much patience
I've learned from the pain
I turned out amazing
I've loved and I've lost
But that's not what I see
Just look what I've found
Ain't no need for searching
And for that, I'll say
Thank you, next
Thank you, next
Thank you, next
I'm so f' grateful for my ex
Thank you, next
Thank you, next
Thank you, next
I'm so f' grateful for my ex
