if you don't understand this song: basically, she's saying a thank you to pete davidson for his understanding of mac's passing. if you didn't know already, ariana had to break off her engagement with pete because she still loved mac, her ex boyfriend who she still had love for, but he passed. she is saying she knows it breaks his heart when she cries again over mac. but she is also saying that she can't get over mac, therefore she and pete needed to break up, because she knew her truest love was gone.
@@oliver-fg5vs Sure and I was all in for this interpretation of the song, up until the truest true love part. I think it's okay to say it was because of grief. Saying she broke off an engagement because it wasn't true love because there could only be one, would apply to all future engagements, I'm just saying :/ In truth I think Ariana said in an interview she felt they didn't really know each other too well.
@@milchreis9554 I think maybe when mac was alive she still loved him and saw a possible future with him. She knew pete would never be her forever. Maybe after mac died she realised she didn't want to be with Pete either way. I don't know how much of a relationship we can see from a few songs but from the outside that's what it looks like
In her interview for the album she couldn't even talk about this song without getting emotional. I'm so happy she shared this with us because it's highly personal and an absolute gem
Shoutout to Victoria Monet and Tayla Parx they played a huge role in the writing process of this album, the emotions ari went through she was able to talk to her friends and create music. Her team is solid. Great body of work
When she says: "when i cry again, over him" dude, ariana is a human and people still judging her and blaming her 4 mac's death. Nobody loved mac like ari. No body.
Real Mac fans know that she made him truly happy. He just had demons that he couldn’t seem to get rid of. She tried to help him but sometimes people can’t be saved. Real Mac fans love Ariana.
This song is so emotional. The fact that she acknowledges how Pete Davidson felt and how hard it was for him to see her go through Mac’s death and tried to do whatever he could to be there for her is amazing but also sad that they couldn’t work because of what happen
here after Ariana's engagement :) Ariana Grande is the proof that hard phases will pass away. Happiness will get to you. No matter how awful it is now. Don't give up thank u Ariana for always being with us. You deserve the whole world
Honestly I know it’s up to her but I can’t accept anyone else but Mac for her. They were in love. No one else for her. Everyone else is just distractions from her real love. This song is a prime example. No one will ever compare.
this song man..so special to her, she was at her lowest, she could barely talk about it and might be her most personal song so far..i'm still not alright with the fact that she begged scooter to not release this song and he still did, but at the end of the day i'm glad she shared a part of her personal life with this song now seeing her all happy, doing things she loves and even being married..i'm genuinely so happy for her, that she finally overcame all that sadness she had
@@tanyachambers5055 Mac and Ari dated back then, they had some problems so they broke it off, then later she was with Pete and even got engaged, Mac sadly passed away and thats when she realized how much she loved him, she had to break of her engagement because she loved Mac but still recognized how hurt Pete was, she's saying she knows it breaks his heart when she cries over Mac, she's thankful for Pete and will always love Mac
@@tanyachambers5055 the song is about the situation in her relationships with mac and pete, she broke with mac for personal reasons and started dating pete, she was still loving mac but felt guilt because she was with pete and didn't want to hurt both of them, so she was in a relationship with a guy while still loving and thinking about her ex and it felt wrong towards pete..at the end mac's passing was the last straw and she broke up with pete and decided to take some time for herself which gladly worked out for her

yeah, and the “though i wish he were here instead, don’t want that living in your head” :( this whole song is so heartbreaking, but the 2nd verse is filled with so much pain...

i lost my ex boyfriend to a drug overdose as well just 3 months after we separated. he was my longest relationship. my first true love. this song hits so hard and its so close to me now because Ari went through the same exact thing. this pain is so horrible and i dont wish it upon anyone but seeing how Ari is thriving just gives me hope that this pain that i'm feeling will pass. thank you Ariana for sharing your music.
"He just comes to visit me when I'm dreaming every now and then." Such a powerful line that everybody who had experienced loss can relate to. This is her best song, so raw and exposed, you can feel her nerve endings.
@@emerald442 Ariana and Mac were best friends and after years of friendship they started dating, but about 2 years ago they broke up cause of his addiction to drugs, but how they've known each other for a long time they continue to be best friends. Only a few weeks later, she started dating Pete and after a few weeks they got engage. Everything was fine till Ariana found out that Mac died due to a drug overdose. This song is basically she saying sorry to pete for still loving mac and misses him and how, no metter how hard she tries, she can't ghostin him Ps. Sorry if i spelled something wrong
ikr! it makes me hurt thinking ab her having to re-record stuff over and over bc she couldn't stop crying. like you knooow this took her forever to record. and yet it still came out as a masterpiece
Fun fact: the vocals harmonising on the outro were composed by Ariana herself. She couldn’t finish a third verse, so she decided to go with this outro instead.
Janelle and her Famous fans instead of the vocals at the end there should be a third verse ( so lyrics ) but she couldn't finish it bcs she was too sad.
I dont know what to name myself it is super sad but it the final part is also imo easily the most beautiful thing she has ever done and maybe some of the most beautiful music i have ever heard. Great art is often made in super tough circumstances and this (sadly) is a perfect example. The harmonising and production is just totally next level (her idol Imogen Heap would be super proud)
Gotta admit, this song got me teary eyed. I can't imagine the pain Ariana went through with Mac's death, on top of having people blame her for it, and then her break up with Pete. Her strength is incredible. Hang in there sweetie, we're all with you
People blamed her for dating Pete and moving so fast. Also some blamed Ariana for Manchester concert and she also did it to herself since a lot of victims couldn't live thinking that they survived and some don't
if you don’t understand this song, it’s basically Pete Davidson is understanding of macs death and how Ariana cries about it. even though it hurts pete, he’s understanding of how Ariana feels 🤍 rip Mac Miller

Me Gillium How about you shut the fuck up and leave her alone? You listen to rumors that are false, very disgusting of you. Where is your evidence that she doesn’t “care” about them? Where is it? I need proof.
Me Gillium OKAY first of all, he died from an accidental overdose. second of all, ariana broke up with mac because of the drugs he was doing. third of all, after she got with pete, she realized she still loved mac and she broke up with pete. it was too late because that time. obviously, she wrote about him in this song. she cries everytime she mentions about mac. just like in her “one love manchester” bombing. when she went back 2 weeks later to sing for manchester, she cried a lot. and you think that ariana killed mac? nah. actually know what’s going on before you talk your shit that isn’t true. period
i just love the fact of how in this she says she is a 'girl with a whole lot of baggage' but then in 'POV' she says, 'All my baggage fadin' safely'. Which is so heart warming cus its show that she is healing and becoming herself again, after going through all of what she did

A lot of people like to critic Ariana or Pete for their behavior through this relationship. But that's plain simple. They loved each other but Mac's death triggered something. And there was no going back with Mac's death, she couldn't love Pete freely anymore. Love is complicated I wish both of them a lot of happiness.
@@elizabethstogner5697 maybe, but let's be honest, Mac's death was sort of like a breaking point. "we'll get through this (...) and I love you, we'll get past this" they were maybe having some troubles before. But they were working on it. It's not easy to see the one you love crying for an ex, day and night I imagine. Then again it's just my assumption based on the song.
She really needs to get into some therapy. Theres 100% chance she feels a lot of guilt over Mac's death even though its not warranted. The internet didn't help with that either. They were so vicious to her when Mac died. I know her writing these songs is a form of therapy, but I think she needs someone who is outside looking in.
This song will forever hold a special place in my heart. I lost my little brother last August and this song has comforted me in ways I can not understand but I’m so thankful Ariana was able make a song that expresses how it feels losing someone you love so so much, you wish they would of saved themselves.
Ghostin' is emotional and beautiful all at the same time. When there are too many emotional baggages to sort through, all you have running inside your head is stress and anxiety. Ariana sure knows how to connect well with listeners. The lyrics hit deeper than they should've been.
She didn't even want to debut this on this album and recording it in the studio was so hard for her. She's been through so much and she still released it. This song deserves more recognition.
I remember watching Pete's interview with Charlamagne when he said that he knew things were done between them after Mac passed because he didn't see how their relationship wouldn't be forever tainted by that tragedy, but he was prepared to be there until she didn't want him around anymore. The entire situation was so sad for everyone involved and you can feel that in this song.
@@kiwi.4853 It’s super hard to find the actual video clips because it was on Netflix so the best I got was an audio clip. Not a fan of the title and he kept trying to claim it’s all jokes, but he’s making jokes of things were taken out of context. I feel bad that he got cyber bullied by people online, but people also forgot that she was dealing with mental health issues and all she said was that she ended the relationship because she realized she was using it as a distraction and it wasn’t fair to him. I also don’t agree with how she handled the whole dick situation so idk it’s a little messy. She clearly doesn’t respect him for some stuff so we don’t know what exactly happened. But he’s being a little too shady. ruclips.net/video/x0QuYvafkoU/видео.html
@@natd602 i mean he has also stated multiple times that he uses his humor to cope with his feelings and trauma, hell he even jokes about his dad dying during 9/11 to cope with the situation. His jokes were his way of getting over the relationship
@@b3llacami He can joke about his dad all he wants. He can joke about Ariana in private. But unless he got her permission, it’s not right to joke about her publicly knowing he has a platform and is just going to blast her. People like to call things humor when they’re actually just being offensive or mean. He’s a comedian, but he’s seriously pushing it. And he keeps using it as joke material because it’ll get him more views. Humor is my coping method too but I’m not out on social media blasting everyone.
@@natd602 but why is Ariana allowed to sing about him but he’s not allowed to joke about her? They’re both using their art to cope with events in their life
after years of this song she's thankful with pete she will always love mac and now she's married with dalton and living her best life so proud of this queen ♡︎
i adore this comment with my whole heart cause this proves its not wrong to love someone forever while being being IN love with someone else. what she had with mac will not be comparable to what she has with dalton, but she's willing to build, grow and fall/be in love with dalton regardless. i honestly love them together, their love is one of the most beautiful one's i've ever came across and i'll stand by that.
The song helps me have understanding; I'm the Pete and he's the Ari, except these days he can leave me alone so much and just keep me in his phone. Tho we been tied for many lives, it seems he just wants convenient comfort from me and whoever he runs off to, to void fill for who he lost in this life... It's getting easier to fade away from him the more he's silent, much as it hurts. My hat goes to the two for giving forever a shot despite their undealt baggage. Such a beautiful song. And hope they recover well.
lnetz77 No one should have to void fill, it hurts. I really hope things do get better for you... it kinda proves that we all have unique kind of pains, losses and hurts but that doesn’t necessarily mean one type of pain’s more significant than the other. This song really did help me connect as well mostly at the part ‘ he just comes to visit me every now and then ‘, that’s honestly how it felt when I lost a person that was important to me. You just can’t let them go. It’s going to get better though, don’t let it hold you down and take away all the good stuff. I really hope things get better for all of us and there’s a high chance they will ♥️
@@birdbaby0628 I'm sorry for your loss, and appreciate your understanding. Really want the healing to help us all. This taught me that giving one's all to the present while honoring a loved one's past life usually ain't one and the same and affects many who care... But all we can do is support each other thru it all no matter what happens. For that I thank you for your perspective and words and sorry if it was difficult to share. Hope you find the love you seek, if you ever try again.
lnetz77 Thank you as well, I know for a fact it’ll take time to heal and the fact that the wound’s still there is quite hard to ignore but you can always hold on to the little things that bring you happiness out of all of the bad stuff and make the process a whole lot easier. I really do feel like things will look up. You’re never alone, and keep in mind that even people like Ariana face hardships and keep living life to its fullest. You should too 🖤
"Ghostin" is a song that touches the soul. Even after all these years, I always come back to it to cry a little. The way you talk about the pain of loss and the struggle to move on feels so real and comforting. It's like you're expressing something many of us feel, and that brings a bit of relief. Thank you for sharing that vulnerability; it helps us navigate our own emotions.
@ass ssa do you know what she's been through she's been through seven breakups her ex dying and the Manchester bombing attack🐝 so please think before you say
There are other songs like this one that she ended up deciding were too personal and deep to share..... sometimes I wonder what all other songs she has saved somewhere on a flashdrive.
when this album came out i was like 8 and now that im 15 (a bit older) i understand this song sm. especially how pete was there for her when mac passed and i jus think even tho her and pete aren’t together anymore i would be so grateful that she wrote such a sweet song abt him.
I read the part where she says "break your heart" at the same time I read that part of your comment. It was so cool. Okay I'll stop being awkward now 😔🤘🏾
no she doesn't she never wrote anything tin yours truly and she's the third or fourth credited artist which means other people r wrote the majority]@@al-xb8wr
An incredibly painful song as it is so personal for me. My girlfriends ex died in a motorcycle accident two years ago. They had broken up about 6 months prior to his death. My girlfriend and I have been together for almost a year now, but she still cries about him and suffers over it. I have supported her and been understanding every step of the way. I have given her all my love. She is my greatest joy. I know how important he was to her......but its still so painful for me. Sometimes I don't know what to do.
Jeremy S aww, you’re an amazing boyfriend to her. just know everything is gonna be okay, everyone goes through tough times but still gets through it! stay strong.
Jeremy S I can completely relate to your story (and the song of course ) except in my case the guy I was with left me because he still needed closure, but given that reason I don’t hold any hard feelings towards him, even though I’m still head over heels for him :/ , it sounds like you are doing an awesome job being there for her and being understanding, I wish you all the luck in your relationship ❤️😇
Larkin Mayberry I think I’ve seen something online where she said she won’t be singing this song live because she can’t do it without crying. Might be wrong though.
She didn’t want this song to be on the album but scooter forced her to put it on he said the world needs to hear it and now this song is my favorite but I’m guilty to say that
Tbh not composing a 3rd verse probably the best thing that could have happened for the song, the final harmonies are probably the single best moment she's ever created ♡
I was never a huge fan of Ariana before this album. Her talent was obvious but I'm a person that loves to connect with an album. This Queen gave us an album that gives me every emotion and she stripped herself bare for us within her words. If this album doesn't leave you shook, girl can't relate.
Essa música é uma verdadeira expressão de dor e luto. Foi uma verdadeira temática de emocional e sentimental para Ari, a música explora a dor de amar alguém profundamente, mas ainda sentir o peso da perda e da culpa. Eu vejo que os versos retratam a sensação de estar com outra pessoa, mas pensar em alguém do passado. Ari canta sobre como sua dor emocional afeta seu relacionamento atual (2019), referindo-se à pessoa com quem ela está como um "fantasma" em sua vida.
"We'll get through this, we'll get past this. I'm a girl with a whole lot of baggage." This part of the song means a lot. It's like a mantra for herself and an anthem to anyone who's going through something rn. This doesn't only apply to mending a broken heart from past relationships but also for letting things go and eventually moving on with life. This song is definitely a raw masterpiece.
So basically this song is a sorry song to Pete and him understanding macs death and how much it hurt ari and when Mac died she didn’t realize how much she loved him which is sad and we need to thank Pete for understanding what Ariana went through
@@calilove6445 only after she talked bad about him and called him a "good distraction." I think anyone would've taken it wrongly, I know I would've been hurt after that.
this has got to be one of the best emotional songs ariana grande has made, it basically talks about ariana grande trying to ghost (forget) about mac miller but she keeps thinking of him and misses him so badly and wishes he was here instead, it’s really sad, if you listen closely you can hear the pain and her trying not to cry
Thank you for being brave enough to record and share this song with us.... it's beautiful and describes a situation with my spouse where he lost his love to death. It's been really hard for him, and I only imagine this is how he feels.
I know you hear me when I cry I try to hold it in the night While you're sleepin' next to me But it's your arms that I need this time (This time) Look at the cards that we've been dealt If you were anybody else Probably wouldn't last a day Every tear's a rain parade from hell (From hell) Baby, you do it so well You been so understanding, you been so good And I'm puttin' you through more than one ever should And I'm hating myself 'cause you don't want to Admit that it hurts you I know that it breaks your heart when I cry again Over him, mmh I know that it breaks your heart when I cry again 'Stead of ghostin' him We'll get through this, we'll get past this, I'm a girl with A whole lot of baggage But I love you, we'll get past this, I'm a girl with A whole lot of baggage, yeah Though I wish he were here instead Don't want that living in your head He just comes to visit me When I'm dreaming every now and then (And then) And after all that we been through (And after all that we been through) There's so much to look forward to What was done and what was said Leave it all here in this bed with you (With you) Baby, you do it so well You been so understanding, you been so good And I'm puttin' you through more than one ever should And I'm hating myself 'cause you don't want to Admit that it hurts you, baby I know that it breaks your heart when I cry again Over him, mmh I know that it breaks your heart when I cry again 'Stead of ghostin' him We'll get through this, we'll get past this, I'm a girl with A whole lot of baggage But I love you, we'll get past this, I'm a girl with A whole lot of baggage, yeah
Ariana is a very talented music producer and lyricist. The big pause in the line "I'm hating myself because you don't want to... admit that it hurts you" gets me every time. "I'm hating myself because you don't want to". What a deeply sad, powerful, but ultimately relatable sentiment.
I might be looking at it too deeply, but the separation (pause) can also translate so something else. It makes it work like two sentences in a way. "I'm hating myself because you don't want to..." If you separate it, it's like Ariana is internalizing all the negativity that he feels and thinks surrounding all of this convoluted situation. He doesn't wanna direct any of these negative feelings towards her, but her noticing how much effort this takes, she decides her own negativity to influence her self worth. Then the line "...admit that it hurts you" is like Ariana wanting to push him to admit that this situation is affecting him, but he does not as to not push the narrative that his feelings are a burden to her, since she is already dealing with so much. If you read both of them fluently, in one go, it gives the same meaning but with a different perspective
Even my tears are crying...
I ain’t got no tears left to cry
Same 😭🤧
Me too... 💔
i can't even imagine-

or maybe…this song (and album) inspired eternal sunshine
if you don't understand this song:
basically, she's saying a thank you to pete davidson for his understanding of mac's passing. if you didn't know already, ariana had to break off her engagement with pete because she still loved mac, her ex boyfriend who she still had love for, but he passed. she is saying she knows it breaks his heart when she cries again over mac. but she is also saying that she can't get over mac, therefore she and pete needed to break up, because she knew her truest love was gone.
Wait, then why is she engaged to someone else now?
@@milchreis9554 yes, dalton gomez. but this album was actually released two years ago, in february 2019. :)
@@milchreis9554 cause mac died about 3 years ago. She's had time to heal and move on
@@oliver-fg5vs Sure and I was all in for this interpretation of the song, up until the truest true love part. I think it's okay to say it was because of grief. Saying she broke off an engagement because it wasn't true love because there could only be one, would apply to all future engagements, I'm just saying :/
In truth I think Ariana said in an interview she felt they didn't really know each other too well.
@@milchreis9554 I think maybe when mac was alive she still loved him and saw a possible future with him. She knew pete would never be her forever. Maybe after mac died she realised she didn't want to be with Pete either way. I don't know how much of a relationship we can see from a few songs but from the outside that's what it looks like
I can't imagine how hard it was for Ariana to record this.

this song man..so special to her, she was at her lowest, she could barely talk about it and might be her most personal song so far..i'm still not alright with the fact that she begged scooter to not release this song and he still did, but at the end of the day i'm glad she shared a part of her personal life with this song
now seeing her all happy, doing things she loves and even being married..i'm genuinely so happy for her, that she finally overcame all that sadness she had
this is so sweet
Wait who was the song about ?
@@tanyachambers5055 mac miller
@@tanyachambers5055 Mac and Ari dated back then, they had some problems so they broke it off, then later she was with Pete and even got engaged, Mac sadly passed away and thats when she realized how much she loved him, she had to break of her engagement because she loved Mac but still recognized how hurt Pete was, she's saying she knows it breaks his heart when she cries over Mac, she's thankful for Pete and will always love Mac
@@tanyachambers5055 the song is about the situation in her relationships with mac and pete, she broke with mac for personal reasons and started dating pete, she was still loving mac but felt guilt because she was with pete and didn't want to hurt both of them, so she was in a relationship with a guy while still loving and thinking about her ex and it felt wrong towards pete..at the end mac's passing was the last straw and she broke up with pete and decided to take some time for herself which gladly worked out for her
“He just comes to visit me when I’m dreaming every now and then” might just be the saddest lyric I’ve ever heard

مُجتمع يتدخّل بطريقة فكرك و كلامك و إسلوبك ،
مُجتمع يتدخل بخُصوصيّاتك ، بشؤونك، بعقليّتك ،
مُجتمع لا يفقه معنى الصّعود ، يجتاحون هاربين منّه ،
مُجتمع تفكيرُه في الحضيض ، الجّنس بنظرهُم ظاهرياً مُعيب و مُخجل ، و بمُنتصف الليل يُضاجعون أنفُسهُم بـأنفُسهُم كَ المثلييّن ، يجعلون الحرام حلال في ظُلمة الليل ، و في النّهار يُحرمون ما هو حلال ،
مُجتمع مُنافق و مُنازع ،
مُجتمع عار و عاله و عاهه و معتوه ،
مُجتمع سقيم التّفكير ، عقيم الحلول ،
مُجتمع تبكي بسببُه الأنفُس ، أُريد الهروب من هذا المُجتمع المُنافق ، لا أُريد إكمال العيش بين أشخاص يُظهرون السّلام و بداخلهُم خُبث و كذب ، أخشى السّقوط و يُراودني أصوات الضّاحكين ، أخشى الصّعود و يُراودني أصوات المُحبطين ، أخشى العيش كي لا يُراودني أصوات المُنافقين ، تبّاً لنا جميعاً 🖤 ..

i lost my ex boyfriend to a drug overdose as well just 3 months after we separated. he was my longest relationship. my first true love. this song hits so hard and its so close to me now because Ari went through the same exact thing. this pain is so horrible and i dont wish it upon anyone but seeing how Ari is thriving just gives me hope that this pain that i'm feeling will pass. thank you Ariana for sharing your music.
I wonder why men get into drugs after a break up. It’s pretty sad 😞

"He just comes to visit me when I'm dreaming every now and then."
Such a powerful line that everybody who had experienced loss can relate to. This is her best song, so raw and exposed, you can feel her nerve endings.
i dont know alot about her, but whats happen to ariana mac and pete?
@@emerald442 Ariana and Mac were best friends and after years of friendship they started dating, but about 2 years ago they broke up cause of his addiction to drugs, but how they've known each other for a long time they continue to be best friends. Only a few weeks later, she started dating Pete and after a few weeks they got engage. Everything was fine till Ariana found out that Mac died due to a drug overdose.
This song is basically she saying sorry to pete for still loving mac and misses him and how, no metter how hard she tries, she can't ghostin him
Ps. Sorry if i spelled something wrong
@@dudaarlpontes nooooo :( thats so sad, no wonder people comments mac thinking ariana will married happily with pete like noo thats :(
ikr! it makes me hurt thinking ab her having to re-record stuff over and over bc she couldn't stop crying. like you knooow this took her forever to record. and yet it still came out as a masterpiece
That line always makes me cry immediately
Fun fact: the vocals harmonising on the outro were composed by Ariana herself. She couldn’t finish a third verse, so she decided to go with this outro instead.
thats not a fun fact thats a sad facttt. Poor ari broke down before she could even finish the song
Wut do u mean?
Janelle and her Famous fans instead of the vocals at the end there should be a third verse ( so lyrics ) but she couldn't finish it bcs she was too sad.
I dont know what to name myself it is super sad but it the final part is also imo easily the most beautiful thing she has ever done and maybe some of the most beautiful music i have ever heard. Great art is often made in super tough circumstances and this (sadly) is a perfect example. The harmonising and production is just totally next level (her idol Imogen Heap would be super proud)
@@gwen8450 omggg is there a full lyrics somewhere
Gotta admit, this song got me teary eyed. I can't imagine the pain Ariana went through with Mac's death, on top of having people blame her for it, and then her break up with Pete. Her strength is incredible. Hang in there sweetie, we're all with you
i cried at that
People blamed her for dating Pete and moving so fast. Also some blamed Ariana for Manchester concert and she also did it to herself since a lot of victims couldn't live thinking that they survived and some don't

yes so true
Me Gillium How about you shut the fuck up and leave her alone? You listen to rumors that are false, very disgusting of you. Where is your evidence that she doesn’t “care” about them? Where is it? I need proof.
Me Gillium imagine being that fucking stupid
Me Gillium OKAY first of all, he died from an accidental overdose. second of all, ariana broke up with mac because of the drugs he was doing. third of all, after she got with pete, she realized she still loved mac and she broke up with pete. it was too late because that time. obviously, she wrote about him in this song. she cries everytime she mentions about mac. just like in her “one love manchester” bombing. when she went back 2 weeks later to sing for manchester, she cried a lot. and you think that ariana killed mac? nah. actually know what’s going on before you talk your shit that isn’t true. period
i just love the fact of how in this she says she is a 'girl with a whole lot of baggage' but then in 'POV' she says, 'All my baggage fadin' safely'. Which is so heart warming cus its show that she is healing and becoming herself again, after going through all of what she did
Her best album yet, raw and real and relatable.

@@cheesecheese6950 shut up bitch :)
A lot of people like to critic Ariana or Pete for their behavior through this relationship. But that's plain simple. They loved each other but Mac's death triggered something. And there was no going back with Mac's death, she couldn't love Pete freely anymore. Love is complicated I wish both of them a lot of happiness.
faiza Fifi how do you like know tho? It could be any number of things and we just really don’t know
@@elizabethstogner5697 maybe, but let's be honest, Mac's death was sort of like a breaking point. "we'll get through this (...) and I love you, we'll get past this" they were maybe having some troubles before. But they were working on it. It's not easy to see the one you love crying for an ex, day and night I imagine. Then again it's just my assumption based on the song.
She really needs to get into some therapy. Theres 100% chance she feels a lot of guilt over Mac's death even though its not warranted. The internet didn't help with that either. They were so vicious to her when Mac died. I know her writing these songs is a form of therapy, but I think she needs someone who is outside looking in.
karen henry she does don’t worry.

This song will forever hold a special place in my heart. I lost my little brother last August and this song has comforted me in ways I can not understand but I’m so thankful Ariana was able make a song that expresses how it feels losing someone you love so so much, you wish they would of saved themselves.

Ghostin' is emotional and beautiful all at the same time. When there are too many emotional baggages to sort through, all you have running inside your head is stress and anxiety. Ariana sure knows how to connect well with listeners. The lyrics hit deeper than they should've been.

I remember watching Pete's interview with Charlamagne when he said that he knew things were done between them after Mac passed because he didn't see how their relationship wouldn't be forever tainted by that tragedy, but he was prepared to be there until she didn't want him around anymore. The entire situation was so sad for everyone involved and you can feel that in this song.
And now he uses it as joke material on SNL 😑
@@kiwi.4853 It’s super hard to find the actual video clips because it was on Netflix so the best I got was an audio clip. Not a fan of the title and he kept trying to claim it’s all jokes, but he’s making jokes of things were taken out of context. I feel bad that he got cyber bullied by people online, but people also forgot that she was dealing with mental health issues and all she said was that she ended the relationship because she realized she was using it as a distraction and it wasn’t fair to him. I also don’t agree with how she handled the whole dick situation so idk it’s a little messy. She clearly doesn’t respect him for some stuff so we don’t know what exactly happened. But he’s being a little too shady.

Truly. My ult fave of all tracks from this album.
Stormaggedon x I love all her songs
People that have felt/experienced loss know exactly what she's talking about.
The song helps me have understanding; I'm the Pete and he's the Ari, except these days he can leave me alone so much and just keep me in his phone. Tho we been tied for many lives, it seems he just wants convenient comfort from me and whoever he runs off to, to void fill for who he lost in this life... It's getting easier to fade away from him the more he's silent, much as it hurts.
My hat goes to the two for giving forever a shot despite their undealt baggage. Such a beautiful song. And hope they recover well.
lnetz77 No one should have to void fill, it hurts. I really hope things do get better for you... it kinda proves that we all have unique kind of pains, losses and hurts but that doesn’t necessarily mean one type of pain’s more significant than the other. This song really did help me connect as well mostly at the part ‘ he just comes to visit me every now and then ‘, that’s honestly how it felt when I lost a person that was important to me. You just can’t let them go. It’s going to get better though, don’t let it hold you down and take away all the good stuff. I really hope things get better for all of us and there’s a high chance they will ♥️

"Ghostin" is a song that touches the soul. Even after all these years, I always come back to it to cry a little. The way you talk about the pain of loss and the struggle to move on feels so real and comforting. It's like you're expressing something many of us feel, and that brings a bit of relief. Thank you for sharing that vulnerability; it helps us navigate our own emotions.

My girlfriend and I have been together for almost a year now, but she still cries about him and suffers over it. I have supported her and been understanding every step of the way. I have given her all my love. She is my greatest joy. I know how important he was to her......but its still so painful for me. Sometimes I don't know what to do.

Eu vejo que os versos retratam a sensação de estar com outra pessoa, mas pensar em alguém do passado. Ari canta sobre como sua dor emocional afeta seu relacionamento atual (2019), referindo-se à pessoa com quem ela está como um "fantasma" em sua vida.
still crying over this. this was the first song ive listened in her thank u next album and immediately cried

my heart is breaking about the fact they never got their happy ending
Same they deserved one!

In another timeline 😔
This song heals me, thank you Ariana ❤️
*I think this might be her best song yet*
Ella Jones i agree ☝️
I agree as well.
And her most personal
And the saddest
Agree
No, I DON'T want to know how sad it would be if there was a music video...
Tears would be all over my bed lol... 😔
Listen to Ghostin Slowed in Empty Arena

what if it was just a compilation of videos and pics of ari and mac🥺
@@avawakem9108 I would start breaking down😞
@@avawakem9108 that's exactly what it would be and possibly singing to her finance
The raw pain and emotion makes this song more beautiful in a emotional way
We need a video now ari please
When you need to use up the word count 🤣
@@asc4096 confused
@@miapXx repetition of emotion. It was just funny as it reminds me of being in uni and trying to make my essay longer 😂
@@asc4096😂 oh lol okay
One of her best songs.
Ariana should make an album called “To Ari from Ari”
YESS
I feel like she should have named this album that. I feel like that's what "thank u, next" means
Saesha Sharda ikr
@@saarrraaahhh lol nothing she does is cheesy from our queen..
or To Ari with Love
"We'll get through this, we'll get past this. I'm a girl with a whole lot of baggage." This part of the song means a lot. It's like a mantra for herself and an anthem to anyone who's going through something rn. This doesn't only apply to mending a broken heart from past relationships but also for letting things go and eventually moving on with life. This song is definitely a raw masterpiece.
I agree, but also when I think about it from her point of view it might be about the Manchester concert too maybe
@@thatarmylove9401 truuuee sigh i just hope everyone eventually does 'get through' everything
U don’t have to be an Arianator to know this song is pure artistry and beauty
Ghostin is such a masterpiece wow
So basically this song is a sorry song to Pete and him understanding macs death and how much it hurt ari and when Mac died she didn’t realize how much she loved him which is sad and we need to thank Pete for understanding what Ariana went through
:(
Pete seems like such an understanding and sweet guy. I hope he finds his happiness too.
😭
Pete actually did a stand up show and made fun of her. I don't think he took it so well.
@@calilove6445 only after she talked bad about him and called him a "good distraction." I think anyone would've taken it wrongly, I know I would've been hurt after that.
this has got to be one of the best emotional songs ariana grande has made, it basically talks about ariana grande trying to ghost (forget) about mac miller but she keeps thinking of him and misses him so badly and wishes he was here instead, it’s really sad, if you listen closely you can hear the pain and her trying not to cry
I feel sorry for her relationship with pete the most, they broke up cause she couldnt get over mac...
Llama Del Fid we,l that’s prob true
u have my name. 🙂
let’s cry together....
Yes 😭😭😭😭
i’m down :,)
First time being this type of close
The best song Ariana’s ever made and the best song in existence
lexa. Yes sis 😢😭😭😭They were perfect together 😢😭😭😭😭😭
No matter what she releases in the future, this will be my most favorite Ariana song ever. It brings me to tears every time
this hits differently when you’re in love with someone you can’t have.
Christopher Garcia so true 😞
True that. She doesn't even know I secretly love her still. 😞😢😭
This breaks my heart💔🖤
fax
I ended up having past memories of a family relative who passed after hearing this song
the fact she almost pulled this song from the album, its one of my favs i cant imagine not listening to it.
she didn’t want to but her management pretty much forced it on there
@@marinaomai9052 he didnt force her
@noru technically he did, she literally said she was begging scooter to take it off the album
@noru what happened is that scooter said that the song is special and that she should release it so she was never forced.
The pain in her voice makes it thousand times emotional😔
Thank you for being brave enough to record and share this song with us.... it's beautiful and describes a situation with my spouse where he lost his love to death. It's been really hard for him, and I only imagine this is how he feels.
there's something about this song. idk, it's just magical to me
crash the beginning an every part makes me feel empty and sad... even though im not
Sand
Reesham Dass sand ❤️
vxkxlie yeah ❤️
I put this on my ‘Another world’ playlist
The lyrics are so well written in an emotional way. God she’s so strong.
I know that it breaks your heart when I cry again over him” 😢❤️ Pete did support ari when she was going through tough times with Mac 🖤
Yeah.
The album is for Pete.
I hope they put everything behind them and come back together
cried to this when I was 15 crying to it at 21
I can hear the pain in Ari’s voice, even through all the editing.
The reason is bcs the editing isnt that much
i know shes so strong i love how she fights through it all no matter how hard it gets for her
Cloudy this
ZJ MAGB reverb probably
Theres no editing lmao its sound mixing and its not even for her voice its for the music...
“he just comes to visit me, when i’m dreaming every now and then” one of my favorite lyrics ever by ari 💗
Allow me to correct, I believe it's '' every now and then ''
Still, you're right, this line strikes me too.
Tinou thanks, probably a typo i’ll change it :)
Same :(
this song.. is that one song I'll never get over. It's beautiful yet so heartbreaking. good people don't deserve this much pain
Stardust foufa so that means Ari deserves everything she’s getting!!
@@kyliewho8096 all the love and all of the above 💖
Everyone walks with the grim reaper
Kylie Who? Wym
i cry every time i listen to this
I know you hear me when I cry
I try to hold it in the night
While you're sleepin' next to me
But it's your arms that I need this time (This time)
Look at the cards that we've been dealt
If you were anybody else
Probably wouldn't last a day
Every tear's a rain parade from hell (From hell)
Baby, you do it so well
You been so understanding, you been so good
And I'm puttin' you through more than one ever should
And I'm hating myself 'cause you don't want to
Admit that it hurts you
I know that it breaks your heart when I cry again
Over him, mmh
I know that it breaks your heart when I cry again
'Stead of ghostin' him
We'll get through this, we'll get past this, I'm a girl with
A whole lot of baggage
But I love you, we'll get past this, I'm a girl with
A whole lot of baggage, yeah
Though I wish he were here instead
Don't want that living in your head
He just comes to visit me
When I'm dreaming every now and then (And then)
And after all that we been through (And after all that we been through)
There's so much to look forward to
What was done and what was said
Leave it all here in this bed with you (With you)
Baby, you do it so well
You been so understanding, you been so good
And I'm puttin' you through more than one ever should
And I'm hating myself 'cause you don't want to
Admit that it hurts you, baby
I know that it breaks your heart when I cry again
Over him, mmh
I know that it breaks your heart when I cry again
'Stead of ghostin' him
We'll get through this, we'll get past this, I'm a girl with
A whole lot of baggage
But I love you, we'll get past this, I'm a girl with
A whole lot of baggage, yeah
this song gives me a slightly eerie, disturbed and deeply depressing vibe.
well its about someone who died so
Well yeah
Psychedelic sounds like a slowed down version of Macs other song “selfcare”
thats why she didn't want to release this song, it was a personal and they literally made her put it on the album
@@MarcelReuling shut the fuck up 🖤
I'm shivering so hard it actually hurts
I made a music video to this song including Ari, Pete and the meaning behind this song. Its a little bit sad but beautiful :) Could you check it out ?

the tune for "one last time" at the end of this... tops everything off
“He just comes to visit me when im dreaming now and then” 💔
Ariana and Macs love story is such a beautiful one with a painful ending.
🥺
Wait what actually happened? I'm confused
Shinsou Hitoshi he had an overdose I think (that may be wrong)
@@eringilmour4943 Aw..

katie shilton how did you know...
@@tulabacon2142 because, I know everything, never disrespect ariana again, understood?
Ariana fans are retarded
Ariana is a very talented music producer and lyricist. The big pause in the line "I'm hating myself because you don't want to... admit that it hurts you" gets me every time. "I'm hating myself because you don't want to". What a deeply sad, powerful, but ultimately relatable sentiment.
I might be looking at it too deeply, but the separation (pause) can also translate so something else. It makes it work like two sentences in a way. "I'm hating myself because you don't want to..." If you separate it, it's like Ariana is internalizing all the negativity that he feels and thinks surrounding all of this convoluted situation. He doesn't wanna direct any of these negative feelings towards her, but her noticing how much effort this takes, she decides her own negativity to influence her self worth. Then the line "...admit that it hurts you" is like Ariana wanting to push him to admit that this situation is affecting him, but he does not as to not push the narrative that his feelings are a burden to her, since she is already dealing with so much. If you read both of them fluently, in one go, it gives the same meaning but with a different perspective
