Revision as of 21:44, 4 August 2019

"Boyfriend" (styled in all lowercase) is a song by Ariana Grande and Social House.[1]

Background

On July 29, 2019, Ariana posted a teaser for the song revealing the title and release date on her Twitter and Instagram accounts.[1]

Ariana talked about the song on Twitter:[2]

I feel like this song captures a common theme in the lives of so many people I know! People want to feel love but don’t want to define their relationship [and] have trouble fully committing or trusting or allowing themselves to fully love someone. Even [though] they want to.

On a different tweet, she stated:[3]

We wanted to make something uplifting that captures that feeling of being afraid to take the leap [and] trust, being afraid of being hurt or feeling like you won’t be enough for that person, but also how it feels to have a crippling crush on someone.

Music video

A music video was released accompanying the song. It is directed by Hannah Lux Davis.[4][5]

Lyrics

[Verse 1: Ariana Grande]
I'm a motherfuckin' train wreck
I don't wanna be too much
But I don't wanna miss your touch
And you don't seem to give a fuck
I don't wanna keep you waiting
But I do just what I have to do
And I might not be the one for you
But you ain't allowed to have no boo

[Pre-Chorus: Ariana Grande]
'Cause I know we be so complicated
But we be so smitten, it's crazy
I can't have what I want, but neither can you

[Chorus: Ariana Grande]
You ain't my boyfriend (Boyfriend)
And I ain't your girlfriend (Girlfriend)
But you don't want me to see nobody else
And I don't want you to see nobody
But you ain't my boyfriend (Boyfriend)
And I ain't your girlfriend (Girlfriend)
But you don't want me to touch nobody else
Baby, we ain't gotta tell nobody
