If you’ve listened to Ariana Grande’s newest album, Sweetener, then you’re already obsessed with it, and don’t even try to tell me otherwise. On Aug. 17, Grande pretended that it was actually Christmas morning and released her highly anticipated fourth album, and nearly every song proved that this might just be her best one yet. There are so many incredible tracks that are filled with emotion, but these eight Sweetener lyrics about Pete Davidson are proof that these two are the ultimate soulmates, no matter how long they’ve been together.
Now if you’re thinking that the only song where Ariana Grande shows love for her fiancé is on the song that’s aptly named "Pete Davidson," you totally have another thing coming, people. While some songs don’t flat-out tell the listener that Grande is singing about Davidson, it’s still pretty obvious from the lyrics that they’re *definitely* about the love of her life.
Let’s dive in, fam.
"Blazed" feat. Pharrell Williams
You simply can’t tell me that this song doesn’t have Pete Davidson’s name all over it. In the chorus, Grande and Williams sing,
Then, Grande sings,
It’s obvious that Grande is beyond fortunate to have found her love in this vast universe, and these lyrics are definitely proof of that.
"R.E.M"
Ariana Grande told the story of how she first met Pete Davidson, and revealed that she knew she wanted to marry him from that moment on. She went on The Tonight Show on Aug. 16 and told Jimmy Fallon, "I’m not a crush-y person … but I left and I jokingly said to my tour manager, ‘I’m marrying him, 100%.’ I was like, ‘I’m literally marrying him.’
And honestly, I feel like "R.E.M." is the perfect depiction of her interaction with him when they first met. She sings,
And if that doesn’t totally sell you, then perhaps her lyrics later in the song will sway your opinion. She sings,
Technically, Queen Beyoncé was the first artist to sing this bop, but that doesn’t mean Grande wasn’t channeling her love for Davidson into her vocals. Telling someone that she loves them? Hearing wedding bells? C’MON. I don’t need anything further, your honor. I rest my case.
"God Is A Woman"
Yes, this song is about female empowerment and is the ultimate Girl Power jam, as noted by Grande herself in a tweet to one of her fans who asked what "God Is A Woman" is about:
But! The lyrics sort of represent a woman’s relationship not only with herself, but with the person they’re with, too (ahem, Pete Davidson). In the song, Grande sings,
Later in the song, she sings,
I don’t know about you, but I think that Grande is talking about Davidson when she says that "you’re different from the rest," considering he’s the man she’s walking down the aisle with. Sorry, you guys, but I can’t be wrong.
"Borderline"
This song’s lyrics mention ~marriage~ once again, which leads me to believe that fiancé Pete Davidson was in mind when Grande was writing this one. She sings,
Grande is totally the "wifey type"… well, only if you’re Pete Davidson. But still, the fact that she’s singing about being someone’s wife gives us no other choice than to assume this track is about Davidson as well.
"Pete Davidson"
This is really the only song that is undisputedly about Pete Davidson, not only because the song name is… well, his name, but because Grande herself spoke to her fans about him being the inspiration behind the lyrics.
When a fan on Instagram commented on Grande’s post back on July 20, claiming that Grande making a song for Davidson was a mistake, Grande responded in the perfect way, writing, "He’s my fiancé. This is my album. I’m an honest and emotional artist and human being and if my openness in my work isn’t for you, that’s OK; I won’t be offended. Still wishing y’all all the love in the world."
God bless Ariana.
And honestly? The song "Pete Davidson" is actually a really beautiful one, and the lyrics are beyond sweet. Grande sings,
And of course, once the world saw those lyrics, we immediately recognized them as her caption for the ultra-famous (in my opinion at least) picture of the couple together at the beginning of their relationship that Grande posted to Instagram back in May:
Be still my cold, black heart.
So the next time you listen to Sweetener, just remember that what you’re listening to is essentially an album filled with love songs Ariana Grande dedicated to Pete Davidson. Proof that love is truly alive and well, folks.
