KatyPrismSpirit Posted March 12 Share Posted March 12 No def not. First time I heard it it clicked immediately. Its also my favorite song of the album. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gaia Posted March 12 Share Posted March 12 Yes and no. She put a lot of Mac Miller references in the MV which makes everyone feel sympathy similar to doing the same thing in TUN when everyone fawned over the Malcolm line. A pretty calculated pivot to the era to switch from “Why do you care whose dick I ride” to aiming for sympathy when that backfired. It’s a Taylor level calculation but works. Good for her though, I’m not a fan of her after her for being a home wrecker but if we live in a world where Nicki Minaj still has fans then Ariana ain’t that bad. 19 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think it sounds very Jack Antonoff esque, with some slight Ariana R&B vibes thrown in.. 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What are these Mac references that the GP is recognizing so easily and giving her sympathy for? I'm a casual fan and I can't tell. People just like the song and don't give a **** about her personal life either way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ultraviolence.xx Posted March 12 Share Posted March 12 yes! i loved the song immediately, especially with that gorgeous video, but i didn't see it being a success in the US at all. very very happy to be proven wrong! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NumbSoul Posted March 12 Share Posted March 12 A bit. I do like the song a lot, but I didn't think it would smash like this. Really happy for Ari though! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dawnettakins Posted March 12 Share Posted March 12 I liked it from the first listen, but wasn't sure how it would fare. Guess that wasn't of any issue! I really like it so I'm happy for it and Ari! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm a fan since Yours Truly and have caught 0 Mac references, the music video is just inspired by the movie. If people make up **** to get likes that's not on Ariana. But that probably doesn't matter to you since you just wanted to troll and be insensitive. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Parallel Posted March 12 Share Posted March 12 Would’ve been the second smash of the era after “fantasize” but I’m glad Ari’s talent persevered regardless of a lackluster lead single Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bad guy Posted March 12 Share Posted March 12 (edited) 1 hour ago, Gaia said: Yes and no. She put a lot of Mac Miller references in the MV which makes everyone feel sympathy similar to doing the same thing in TUN when everyone fawned over the Malcolm line. I also was noticing people online saying the video/album is a ode to Mac too and was confused but I guess his favorite movie was Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind so that may be the references people are referring to with the MV. As a fan of his I didn't even know that. Probably fans jumping to conclusions with that, or maybe it was intentional. Who knows. I don't think it's to gain sympathy though that's a bit harsh Edited March 12 by bad guy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
