Songs That Defined the Decade: Ariana Grande's 'Thank U, Next'

with essays on the 100 songs

As radio became friendlier to gently insistent grooves vs. voice-to-the-rafters dance-pop that had taken her from Nickelodeon TV sidekick to legit pop princess, Ariana adjusted course on 2018's, an album whose title track and lead single may go down in history as the most gracious breakup song ever written.

"That phrase is really what made the song special," Monet opines. "We started humming melodies [during the songwriting session], and I know that Ariana says 'thank you, next' so much, and those words fit perfectly with that melody. That phrase is very her: It's direct, and like, 'I'm grateful for things that have happened, but I'm gonna move on and not deal with the bulls--t.

With no official announcement, "Thank U, Next" arrived out of nowhere on Nov. 3, not even three months after Grande had dropped an entirely different album. Traditional industry logic would label that “market oversaturation,” but the pop star demonstrated that she knew the game was changing. Thanks to the headline-grabbing lyrics, the relatability of the message and its quietly inescapable vocal hooks, "Thank U, Next," was propelled to the No.
