25 歲的美國歌壇小天后亞莉安娜·格蘭德（Ariana Grande）才在今年 8 月發行了全新錄音室專輯《甜到翻》（Sweetener），沒想到上個月亞莉安娜又火速宣布自己已經正在進行新專輯的製作，許多歌迷都認為這是因為亞莉安娜深深為前男友麥克米勒（Mac Miller）於 9 月初服用藥物過量逝世的消息所震撼，因此決定將情緒投入音樂創作。沒想到就在今年亞莉安娜發行了全新單曲〈Thank U, Next〉，公開表態新歌正是送給自己的前男友們。
▼亞莉安娜在新歌所唱到的 4 位前男友，包含饒舌歌手大尚恩（Big Sean）、舞者 Ricky Alvarez、已離世饒舌歌手麥克米勒和上個月剛分手的喜劇演員皮特·戴維森（Pete Davidson），圖片下附註亞莉安娜與他們的交往時間。
▼即使前幾天才發生亞莉安娜·格蘭德在推特上怒轟上個月剛解除婚約的前男友皮特·戴維森，表態不滿皮特在分手後一直拿他們過往的感情當作喜劇段子。但現在亞莉安娜發行新單曲〈Thank U, Next〉之時，特別強調這首歌曲雖然是寫給她的前男友們，但絕對不是一首 diss 歌曲，而是一首她對於前男友們充滿感激、接納、寬恕和成長的旋律。
▼亞莉安娜新單曲〈Thank U, Next〉搶先聽，下有完整歌詞。
[Verse 1]
Thought I'd end up with Sean
But it 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
[Pre-Chorus]
One taught me love
One taught me patience
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've got
Look what you taught me
And for that, I say
[Chorus]
Thank you, next (Next)
Thank you, next (Next)
Thank you, next (Next)
I'm so fuckin' grateful for my ex
Thank you, next (Next)
Thank you, next (Next)
Thank you, next (Next)
I'm so fuckin'—
[Verse 2]
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 (So good with that)
[Pre-Chorus]
She taught me love (Love)
She taught me patience (Patience)
And she handles pain (Pain)
That shit's amazing (Yeah, she's amazing)
I've loved and I've lost (Yeah, yeah)
But that's not what I see (Yeah, yeah)
Just look what I've found (Yeah, yeah)
Ain't no need for searching
And for that, I say
[Chorus]
Thank you, next (Thank you, next)
Thank you, next (Thank you, next)
Thank you, next (Thank you)
I'm so fuckin' grateful for my ex
Thank you, next (Thank you, next)
Thank you, next (Said thank you, next)
Thank you, next (Next)
I'm so fuckin' grateful for my ex
[Post-Chorus]
Thank you, next
Thank you, next
Thank you, next
I'm so fucking—
[Bridge]
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 (Song is a smash)
[Pre-Chorus]
I've got so much love (Love)
Got so much patience (Patience)
I've learned from the pain (Pain)
I turned out amazing (Turned out amazing)
I've loved and I've lost (Yeah, yeah)
But that's not what I see (Yeah, yeah)
Just look what I've found (Yeah, yeah)
Ain't no need for searching
And for that, I'll say
[Chorus]
Thank you, next (Thank you, next)
Thank you, next (Thank you, next)
Thank you, next
I'm so fuckin' grateful for my ex
Thank you, next (Thank you, next)
Thank you, next (Said thank you, next)
Thank you, next (Next)
I'm so fuckin' grateful for my ex
[Post-Chorus]
Thank you, next
Thank you, next
Thank you, next
Yeah, yee
Thank you, next
Thank you, next
Thank you, next
