"Thank U, Next" (stylized in all lowercase) is a song by American singer Ariana Grande, released as the lead single from her fifth studio album of the same name (2019).[1][2] The track was written by Grande, Tayla Parx and Victoria Monét, along with its producers Tommy Brown, Charles Anderson and Michael Foster. Lyrically, the song reflects on Grande's past relationships.[3]

Commercially, "Thank U, Next" has reached number one in the United States, the United Kingdom, Australia, Canada, Estonia, Finland, Greece, Ireland, Lebanon, Malaysia, New Zealand, Portugal and Singapore, the top ten in Austria, Belgium, the Czech Republic, Denmark, Hungary, Iceland, the Netherlands, Norway, Slovakia, Sweden and Switzerland, and the top twenty in France and Germany.

The Hannah Lux Davis-directed music video, which references Mean Girls, Bring It On, 13 Going on 30 and Legally Blonde, was released on November 30, 2018, and subsequently broke several YouTube and Vevo records.

Background and release

On November 2, 2018, the singer tweeted lyrics of a mysterious track, after her ex-fiancé Pete Davidson joked about their broken engagement on Saturday Night Live. The following day, Grande tweeted more lyrics, revealing that they indeed belong to a track named "Thank U, Next", which she described was lyrically and conceptually the opposite of her Dangerous Woman track "Knew Better". The singer also revealed "Thank U, Next" would serve as her fifth album's name, which she had been teasing for months on Twitter.[4]

The song was released on November 3, 2018, without any prior official announcement or promotion.[5]

"Thank U, Next" is a self-empowerment pop and R&B song that mentions many of Grande's past relationships.[6][7][8] It features elements of synth-pop in its production.[9][10] The song is written in the key of G-flat major in common time with a tempo of 108 beats per minute. Grande's voice ranges from a low A♭3 to a high E♭5. The song is based around a chord progression of G♭maj7–F7/A–B♭m7–D♭7/C♭.[11]

Grande explained in an interview that "thank u, next..." is a phrase that she and fellow singer/songwriter Victoria Monét use.[12][13] The lyrics acknowledge four of her past relationships: "Thought I'd end up with Sean, / But he 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" refer to Big Sean, Ricky Alvarez, Pete Davidson and Mac Miller, respectively.[14]

Grande originally wrote the song while engaged to Davidson, during a tumultuous point in their relationship.[15] Grande recorded several versions of the song, due to the uncertainty of her relationship with Davidson, as well as hesitation from co-writer Tayla Parx regarding whether to list the names of her exes in the lyrics.[16] In an interview with The Zach Sang Show, Grande explained:

There's a version where I was getting married, there's a version where I'm not getting married, there's a version with nothing—we're not talking about anything. ...But we all knew that the first version was gonna be the version we ultimately went with.[16]

Grande also revealed an alternate opening line that omitted the names of her exes: "They say I'm too young, / had too many boyfriends."[16]

Critical reception

Markos Papadatos from Digital Journal said the song is an "ode to gratitude, an anthem to a fresh start and new beginnings, where she is not afraid to be raw and vulnerable; Grande's vulnerability is the listener's reward." He also said the song is "sultry, cathartic and expressive" and praised Grande's breathy vocals as "pristine and heavenly, and it is evident the pop throne is still hers. "thank u, next" garners an A rating."[17]

Quinn Moreland from Pitchfork named the song the week's "Best New Track" and praised Grande's ability to talk about her past relationships with newfound serenity: "She doesn't stir the pot about her recent breakup, as the common media narrative might expect; instead she finds the value in letting go. It's a generosity rarely spotted these days, when it is so much more tempting to clap back with vinegar instead of honey. Much like the "one girl swaying alone" twist in Lorde's 'Liability,' it's an eloquent display of inner strength and incisive self-awareness."[18] Spencer Kornhaber from The Atlantic said the song highlights Grande's ownership of not only the break up gossip, but also "her romantic life, her growth as a person, and her career as a maker of catchily inspirational bops". He remarked the lyrics are "feminist rewriting of the public narrative—about a woman defined by, and perhaps even brought down by, men—pulled off with lightness. The vibe is sly and swinging; a high hat in the chorus makes like a drum crash during a stand-up roast. [...] classic pop romanticism, cut with shit happens realism, spiked with trendy swagger-as-empowerment."[19]

Brittany Spanos from Rolling Stone said despite what the title may suggest, the song is "surprisingly gracious, a balm and a sticky note reminder on the heart that sometimes it's not about life getting better; it's about wanting to better yourself" and praised Grande for delivering one of the very few pop songs to actually promote real, true self-love."[20] Megan Reynolds from Jezebel stated the song is not the "anthem of a spurned lover, looking to destroy everything in her path. Instead, Grande took a page from the book of Mariah Carey: "thank u, next" is a motivational narrative powered by pettiness". She also remarked the song works beautifully around how unbothered it is "here is pettiness for mostly good with a dash of evil, subverting the traditional spurned lover subtweet of the sort preferred by an artist like Taylor Swift. Not all music that comes out of heartbreak has to be introspective, but it is often so much better when it is. Fame rushes people towards a sort of forced maturity in many ways. Pettiness, when used for good, is quite powerful."[21]

Music video

Background

Kris Jenner
Jennifer Coolidge
"Thank U, Next" features a plethora of cameo appearances, such as from Kris Jenner, and appearances from original cast members from referenced films, such as Jennifer Coolidge from Legally Blonde.

Planning for the music video began long before the song was released. During work on Grande's music video for her song "Breathin", director Hannah Lux Davis listened to a demo for "Thank U, Next", in which she praised the song. Because of this, both Davis and Grande started coming up with concepts for the video, bringing up their love for films such as Mean Girls and Bring It On.[57] Production began immediately from the release of the "Breathin" video.

Grande began teasing the music video on her Instagram account on November 20,[58] with images of her and her friends alongside quotes from the film Mean Girls. Later that day, she shared more images with references to the movie Legally Blonde,[59] including a photo with actress Jennifer Coolidge, who starred in the film.[60] On November 22, Grande posted a photo of herself in a cheerleader's outfit, alongside a quote from the movie Bring It On.[61] On November 27, Grande released a teaser video featuring cameos from singer-songwriter Troye Sivan, YouTube stars Colleen Ballinger and Gabriella DeMartino, Mean Girls actors Jonathan Bennett and Stefanie Drummond, and Grande's former Victorious co-stars Elizabeth Gillies, Daniella Monet and Matt Bennett.[62]

The video made its official premiere on YouTube on November 30 through a new feature called "YouTube Premiere".

Synopsis

The video references the 2000s films Mean Girls, Bring It On, 13 Going on 30 and Legally Blonde.[63][64]

The video begins with an intro with different singers, actors and YouTube personalities including American YouTuber Colleen Ballinger, American actors Jonathan Bennett and Stefanie Drummond, Grande's backup dancer Scott Nicholson, Australian singer Troye Sivan and American YouTuber Gabi DeMartino, parodying the scene off of Mean Girls where many high school students are talking about Regina George. Some of the actors from the original movie appear in this scene.[63][64][65] It continues with the words "Thank U, Next" shown on the screen in the same font as the writing of Mean Girls (2004). It then features a close-up of a book, similar to the "Burn Book", containing images and writing showing and talking about Grande's past relationships with images of American rapper Big Sean, the singer's former backup dancer Ricky Alvarez and American comedian Pete Davidson,[66] all in the book. Only Mac Miller, quoted in the song, is not shown in a photo, respecting his death.[67] The shot then takes away to Grande as Regina George among The Plastics – formed by Elizabeth Gillies as Cady, Alexa Luria as Karen and Courtney Chipolone as Gretchen, as well as Jonathan Bennett in his original role as Aaron – walking down the hall, the same way from a scene in Mean Girls. The next shot is of Grande dancing with Gilles, Luria and Chipolone in Mrs. Claus-inspired dresses, with an appearance by Grande's mom (portrayed by Kris Jenner in reference to the role of Amy Poehler), filming the dance, except mirroring Poehler's original dance moves.

The next scene is a throwback to Bring It On (2000),[68][69] where Grande as Torrance and her love interest Cliff (portrayed by Matt Bennett), are shown brushing their teeth similar to a scene from the film. The scene then transitions to Grande cheerleading among others including Daniella Monet versing against the other team, including singer-songwriters Victoria Monét and Tayla Parx, who are contributing the background vocals in the track. The scene then moves to Grande helping out with a wedding,[70] showing she as Jenna playing with a dollhouse remiscent to a scene in 13 Going on 30 (2004). A magic-like transition moves into the following scene where Grande drives a convertible with the license plate saying "7 Rings" which is the title of a song for her fifth-studio album.[71] In the next scene, Grande hops out of the vehicle with her dog, Toulouse Grande in a pink leather jacket playing Elle Woods, symbolising the film Legally Blonde (2001).[72] The camera spans to multiple shots of Grande walking down a path with a shot of her at a swimming pool, also having a very similar image to the film.[73] The following scene involves Grande at the beauty salon with the manicure Paulette (portrayed by Jennifer Coolidge in her original role) talking about past relationships of how "big front teeth" can affect someones look. The whole scene involved many re-enactments from scenes in the film including The Bend and Snap.[74] Several shots of Grande are shown running on the treadmill, with all scenes previously in the video then completed in to one involving some behind-the-scene shots and a scene involving Coolidge and the post man meeting (the role was originally portrayed by Bruce Thomas, however he confirmed over Twitter that he did not take part in the filming of the music video), referencing another scene which is from the original film. The video then concludes with Grande and the cheerleaders dancing, the singer leaving a red lipstick trace by kissing Ballinger's pregnancy belly and Jenner, whilst holding the camera saying "Thank you, next, bitch!" in the ultimate shot.[75]

Reception

During the premiere of the music video on YouTube, it was reported that a total of 829,000 viewers were watching and participating in the live stream, making it the largest viewership that YouTube Premiere has received since its launch.[76]

Following its release, the video broke the record for most-watched music video in YouTube within 24 hours, officially achieving 55.4 million views on the platform in its first day, surpassing the 45.9 million YouTube views of BTS's "Idol" video, the previous record-holder.[77] It also became the fastest Vevo video to reach 100 million views on YouTube doing so in just 3 days and 10 hours, surpassing Taylor Swift's "Look What You Made Me Do", which took 2 hours more to reach that milestone.[78] The video has accumulated more than 310 million views.[79]

Live performances

Grande performed the song alongside its co-writers Victoria Monét and Tayla Parx on The Ellen DeGeneres Show on November 7, 2018.[80] The performance paid homage to Grande's favorite movie, The First Wives Club (1996), recreating a scene in which the three leading female characters "clad in white suits [and] team up to sing an anthem of freedom in the wake of a life-changing breakup, bidding adieu to the men of their past and ushering in a new age of independence and personal growth."[81] She later performed the song on December 6, 2018 at Billboard Women in Music, an annual event held by Billboard to recognize women in the music industry, where she received the award for Woman of the Year.[82]
