Communion Posted March 3 Posted March 3 I don't think this person is one of the people who went and is just predicting what the lyrics can be, but despite the one member of ArianaToday saying "True Story" will leave people criticizing her on TikTok gagging, it didn't occur to me until just now seeing this that she could have possibly turned the lyrics from what they were into about the media. If the run from Tacks 7-9 are the '**** you' section of the album to the media and haters.
Avenger Posted March 3 Posted March 3 People who had the opportunity to listen to the album are saying it’s her best work yet, I am just so excited! True story second single, my expectations are so high now.
MaxMartin Posted March 3 Posted March 3 (edited) I think supernatural is the most european pop song on the album (because of the name alone & Oscar ) that's why I think it's not a favorite based on what US fans usually like (pop-R&B) Edited March 3 by MaxMartin
LastGreatBloodline Posted March 3 Posted March 3 3 hours ago, TOKYO. said: She is smart for going the taylor route with dropping the album without any teasers. People will at least tune in to check it for the suprise factor. Even tho as a fan I hate it, marketing wise its the newest way to release I suppose yeah absolutely it would've worked even better if she hadn't released a lead single tho

Aristocrat Posted March 3 Posted March 3 Reading all the tweets from the fans who went to the album listening party has me so excited can’t believe we’re just a few days away from a new Ari album! And this is her SNL week so we’re also gonna be fed with promos, photoshoots, etc from that this week. And possibly the Zane Lowe interview coming as well. So excited.

Yeah, I think everything is vague intentionally. I do wonder if someone who went can give light on if this person was lying or not: They had all the song times / lengths (somewhat) right but was intentionally vague for most of their tea (which makes me wonder if they just saw the tracklisting and didn't actually hear anything) but this is an actual claim that can be verified to then know if them calling it "a sad album, the imagine fans are winning" makes sense or not. Though this kind of info somewhat lines up with what the person on PopJustice is claiming: Spoiler Edited March 3 by Communion

I still don't understand why it was the lead, even after her explanation to the label. I know we haven't heard the other records yet, but if "we can't be friends" is about her closing her chapter with Dalton, then why wasn't that the lead? Then, "the boy is mine" as the second? 1
MaxMartin Posted March 3 Posted March 3 she wanted YA to be the lead cause it's a new sound for her , it doesn't sound like the obvious single from the album & has an uplifting message about not caring about what others think
State of Grace. Posted March 3 Posted March 3 I think choosing YA for the lead will make more sense when we get to hear the album, or maybe she'll spill about it on Part II of her Zach interview. I'm wondering if The Boys Is Mine / Bye will dark horse We Can't Be Friends judging by the reactions so far. Or she might have several tracks doing well if they all click, a Positions/Motive/POV/69 tea. 1
Aristocrat Posted March 3 Posted March 3 6 hours ago, State of Grace. said: Came across this tea from someone on PJ who listened to the album. Don't open if you don't want any ~spoilers~ Hide contents I actually think a Sweetener comparison is fair. Mainly due to a lot of it being fairly mellow, along the lines of the back half of that album. Lyrically, it reminds me of aspects of Thank U, Next and Sweetener. It’s personal, but like she described in the Zach Sang interview, not every song is a clear in-your-face rebuttal to the stories about her personal life. Production-wise, it’s varied, but settles in a space that is most comparable to the back half of Sweetener and even hints of Positions, but it’s not nearly as R&B. The more uptempo moments don’t fit nicely with any of her previous albums, which is fun (but I think that’s clear from yes, and? alone). It’s a varied pop affair, but the songs sit alongside each other nicely. The Boy Is Mine is all about the lyrics - no sample. Spoiler back half of sweetener with hints of positions, oh im SHAKING

Hopefully We Can't Be Friends will be the conventional radio hit type of hit single and The Boy is Mine will be the buzz/controversial TikTok viral type hit to get more people tuned in and talking about the album. 1

Exactly what I'm hoping for. I'm also sure the "new version of Fantasize" is one of those two. I saw someone (I think our sis @TattooedDreams ) saying WCBF has a nostalgic feeling so it might be that one. Edited March 3 by State of Grace. 2

In my opinion YA can only work as a lead. Like idk how to explain this but it’s not the type of song that can work as a 2nd or 3rd single 2 1
Communion Posted March 3 Posted March 3 More reactions from the good sis @shookgrande - And @arianators_wildin on IG:
wantedyoutogrow Posted March 3 Posted March 3 (edited) I kinda hope we get a similar song to this one on the album https://youtu.be/Yjmzx2sNrr8?si=z8a2haWm5mkulmum EDIT: idk why the link isn’t embedding properly but the song is “last piece” by Lykke Li. Edited March 3 by wantedyoutogrow 2
Gerardo Posted March 3 Posted March 3 I think yes, and? is the buwygib of the album, she probably had the rest of the tracks and knew we can’t be friends had to be a single, but didn’t know what to choose as the lead and the album might be too mid-tempo, so she made y,a? upbeat and with a **** you/optimistic message to make a statement similar to how she thought TUN was too serious/sad so she decided to add buwygib so it’s ironic to have it in the same album as needy, ghostin, and in my head 1
