Ariana Grande Sampled *NSYNC On Her New Album And I Can’t Even Handle It

Ariana Grande dropped a brand new album on Friday and since its release, people have been losing their mind over and over again. First of all, this powerhouse dropped two albums with incredible songs in less than a year—talk about talent. Not only did she drop a bomb album—she did it with no features. That’s right, all of the songs are sung by Ms. Grande herself. But, while there are no features, there are tons of mentions/inferences of people on this album.

The album, according to Grande, is the first thing she worked on after her split with Pete Davidson and the loss of her ex, Mac Miller. Her previous album, Sweetener, was filled with “I’m madly in love” type songs, all hinting at her romance and new engagement to Davidson. But, this album is more of a “I’m independent” and “I’m single and looking at myself, hard.” This album is almost like a look inside of Grande’s soul—post-breakups.

Let’s see—we have Ghostin’, which everyone swears is about Mac Miller and Pete Davidson, and the reason Grande dumped her fiancé after the death of her ex.

Others say that Bloodline is about Pete Davidson—an entire song that says sorry I didn’t want to marry you but get over it.

We already know she shouts out all of her exes on Thank U, Next—it’s not news. But, what we were shocked to see was some of the little gifts Grande gave us throughout the album. On one track, NASA, Neil Armstong’s famous speech is referenced and drag queen Shangela Laquifa Wadley is featured saying “one small step for woman, one giant leap for womankind.”

Grande’s nonna is also featured on Bloodline saying “Because I’m trying to do the best I can, and they can’t find something to satisfy me. Look.”

And, fans love Grande’s best friend, Doug Middlebrook, on the beginning of In My Head leaving Grande a very personal voicemail saying:

But, the biggest surprise of all came when Grande not only dropped an album but also another music video on Friday—for Break Up With Your Girlfriend, I’m Bored.

Not only is the song a bop, but, it also samples a boyband you haven’t heard in years—*NSYNC. That’s right, Grande sings the lyrics to Makes Me Ill, with her own Grande twist. And, she absolutely snatched my wig when I heard it. Twitter cannot get enough.

Grande is coming for the crown, y’all.

Fans Are Convinced Ariana Grande’s New Song Is About Choosing Between Mac Miller And Pete Davidson

In case you missed it, Ariana Grande dropped another brand new album on Friday—Thank U, Next. The album comes only less than a year after she dropped her award-winning, record-breaking album Sweetener. Obviously, knowing how hard Ariana stans go, people were counting down the days, hours, and minutes until the album came out. On Friday, when it dropped, everyone was bumping it loud and proud, looking for some subtle clues about what songs may mean.

Grande has been extremely open about this album being a personal favorite, as it’s an album with no features from other artists and very vulnerable tracks. She admitted that she wrote all of the songs after her very public split with Pete Davidson and losing her ex-boyfriend, Mac Miller, to an overdose. Therefore, fans knew there was going to be some tea spilled about both famous men.

One particular song on the album—Ghostin—peaked a lot of fan’s interests after Grande did a Q&A on Twitter about some of the new tracks. She told fans that the song was about “feeling badly for the person you’re with because you love somebody else. feeling badly because he can’t compare, and how I should be ghosting him.”

Once fans heard this, they thought right away that Grande was speaking about her relationship with Pete Davidson. The two split pretty soon after the death of Mac Miller, and many fans inferred that the toll this took on Grande was too much to deal with—realizing she loved Mac more than she let on. Looking closer at the lyrics, it’s easy to see why.

The first verse talks about Grande sleeping next to someone and crying. It’s safe to assume Grande’s talking about sleeping next to Davidson and crying about Miller.

The chorus, also, discusses crying over “him.” Him, of course, can only lead to Mac Miller, as well.

The second verse even talks about wishing that “he” was here instead. And, that someone comes to visit her when she’s dreaming. Obviously, since Mac’s passing, this could be the only way she sees him.

One fan even showed the similarities between Ghostin and Mac Miller’s Cinderella, which, was written about Grande herself.

Another pointed out that Grande wrote a song, reMeMber, that she cut from the album because it was “too personal.”

Another said that Grande sampled Mac Millers song, 2009, on the track, too.

Fans on Twitter could not stop posting photos of Mac Miller and hinting towards the fact that the song was about Mac v. Pete.

Obviously, losing someone you love can be a hard road to travel. We’re glad Grande found a way to try and cope with it.
