"no drags.... no jus love, gratitude, acceptance, honesty, forgiveness ... and growth 🖤" _ Ariana Twitter

[LeonnPont]

I fucking love the self confidence of this song

[amandadeluna]

*Sis really had no tears left to cry. A true elegant legend. Thank u, next.*

[ariianaswrld]

“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.” this hits harder since she’s married now <3

[itssebastien]

when she calls Mac an angel...
My heart whew!😭🔥

[carlsilva_]

this song is about "a new chapter" that encompasses "gratitude, growth, embracing our paths bumps n all."

[stellach]

At first I thought this would be a shady song but I love how she chose to see the positive side and be grateful and thankful for what she's been through. And that's true in the end our exes teach us things and make us stronger.

“Wish I could say thank you to Malcom, cause he was an angel.”
Crying. We miss you ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

I love this because she’s not salty about her exes, not even one bit. She says in the song that in each relationship she has ever had, each has taught her something worthwhile and it resulted to her becoming the person she is today.
That’s the thing though, life keeps moving. Learn to let go if it’s holding you back. Once you do, take your time, heal slowly, move on and don’t forget to cherish the memories and values that has been taught to you, just like how Ari did.

literally so refreshing to hear an artist actually be forgiving and grateful instead of shaming ex's through disses, gotta love ari!!!

[tzuyusupremacy]

it’s a catchy song but when you actually read the lyrics....ariana has been through so much. an actual queen she is

[sillygeese]

She put in names, Ari ain’t playin games. 🌻💛

[lottiehelliwell]

“wish i could say thankyou to malcolm, cos he was an angel.”…..im SPEECHLESS

[aanikashergill]

[alejandrobutera]

THE LYRICS

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

One taught me love
One taught me patience
And 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 got
Look what you taught me
And for that, I say

Thank you, next (Next)
Thank you, next (Next)
Thank you, 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'—

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)

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

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

Thank you, next
Thank you, next
Thank you, next
I'm so fucking—

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)

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

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

Thank you, next
Thank you, next
Thank you, next
Yeah, yee
Thank you, next
Thank you, next
Thank you, next
Yeah, yee

I love how this song is full of positivity instead blaming her past relationships and her exes
