If lyrics are anything to go by, Ariana Grande might have recently experienced a painful betrayal as hinted in “Eternal Sunshine.” The fifth track on the album opens with Grande admitting she and the subject matter, presumably an ex, were a wrong match. “I don’t care what people say / We both know I couldn’t change you / I guess you could say the same / Can’t rearrange truth,” she sings (via Genius). In the next couple of lines, Grande mentioned some of her ex’s wrongdoings, singing, “I’ve never seen someone lie like you do / So much, even you start to think it’s true.”
In the pre-chorus, Grande delves deeper into her issues with her ex, hinting that he might have cheated on her. “So now we play our separate scenes / Now, now she’s in my bed, mm-mm, layin’ on your chest / Now I’m in my head, wonderin’ how it ends,” she sings before going on to the chorus where she doubles down on the cheating allegation. “Hope you feel alright when you’re in her,” she wrote in the chorus. Expectedly, the betrayal leaves Grande devastated, with the singer admitting to getting played and feeling sorry for herself after giving her all to the relationship. “I showed you all my demons, all my lies / Yet you played me like Atari / Now it’s like I’m lookin’ in the mirror,” she sang.
