Ariana Grande is officially done with the past—like, she packed it up, threw it in the attic, and lost the key. Her latest song, “Past Life”, from the deluxe version of Eternal Sunshine, is basically a musical version of changing your number and disappearing into a new era of self-love.
The Grammy-winning queen is out here belting about finding herself again and realizing that, yeah, maybe she can do better. Even if it means leaving behind, uh… certain people (cough Dalton Gomez cough).
Ari doesn’t hold back, singing:
🎶 Always wondered what would happen if I let you lose me
Always wondered what would happen if I let myself need more
Might f–k around and elevate my expectations
Now I’m fine to leave you in a past life. 🎶
Translation? “I’ve been settling, and honestly, that was a rookie mistake.”
Fans are already analyzing every lyric, and let’s be real—this song is basically a how-to guide for moving on like an absolute legend.
And guess what? This is just one of the six new songs on Ari’s deluxe album! That means six new anthems for belting in the shower, screaming in the car, and sending not-so-subtle hints to your ex.
Go ahead, take a listen to “Past Life” below—and if it makes you want to block someone, you’re using it correctly.
