"Thank U, Next" (stylized in all lowercase) is the lead single and title track from Ariana Grande's fifth studio album of the same name.[1] It is also the eleventh track of the album.[2] It was released through Republic Records on November 3, 2018. The music video premiered on November 30, 2018. A 7-inch vinyl of the single was released in February 2019, featuring "Imagine" as the B-side of the single.[3][4] A live version of the song is featured on K Bye For Now (SWT Live), which was released on December 23, 2019.

Background[]

According to Tommy Brown, Grande started working on the song on October 4, 2018. Grande teased lyrics from the song on November 1, 2018 through tweets after a clip of Saturday Night Live was launched showing Grande's ex-fiancé Pete Davidson joking about their broken engagement.[5][6]

Once she was made aware of the clip, she expressed her disgust in a since deleted tweet on her Twitter account, writing: "for somebody who claims to hate relevancy u sure love clinging to it huh" She then followed up her post with another tweet, tweeting the phrase that would become her new mantra during 2018: "thank u, next"[1]

The song title was revealed that day after she tweeted "Thank U, Next" which was later deleted, however, a screenshot of the tweet can be seen on the single's official artwork.

On November 3, 2018, Grande confirmed that the song will be the title track and lead single from the album.[1] It was also reported by TMZ that the song would be released that day, however, neither Grande nor her team confirmed it. Later that day the song was available on many digital platforms with no prior official announcement, with the song being a surprise release.[7]

The version where Ariana says she's about to get married leaked on March 28, 2023 (Version 5).

On May 17, 2023, a different version having drums throughout the whole song, and with her saying that she still wishes she could have fixed Malcolm leaked along with 3 more demos that also leaked.

Audios[]

Critical reception[]

Pedestrian's Alasdair Duncan called the song a "banger" and that they will be "cranking this tune at maximum volume for the rest of the afternoon."[8] Hugh McIntyre from Forbes wrote: "While many pop stars talk about being honest and vulnerable when it comes to their music, few open up like Grande has on her latest." and described the song as "catchy", while also being "heartbreaking". According to him, the song "may sound deceptively simple upon first play, but when the lyrics sink in and context is applied, it becomes clear that it's ultimately a beautiful piece of music."[9] Rose Dommy, author from Out Magazine said that on the song, "Grande names each of her exes and explains that she's grateful for what they taught her, including Davidson and Mac Miller." She added "Thank U, Next" is "better than the entirety of Sweetener and, possibly, all music ever created."[10] Spencer Kornhaber from The Atlantic wrote: "Her bottom line is that love heals all. [...] she's added a tough edge to that message— highlighting her ownership of not only the gossip, but her romantic life, her growth as a person, and her career as a maker of catchily inspirational bops"[11]

Accolades[]

"Thank U, Next" was included on many year-end best-of lists. TIME magazine listed the song as the third best song of 2018: "'Thank U, Next' is a highly personal song of self-love and growth that subverts all the obvious pop scripts. It allowed Grande to reframe her narrative as an artist and a woman, and crafted an anthem that celebrates gracious independence over heartbreak."[12] The song was marked at number six on The Guardian's "Top 100 songs of 2018",[13] and number four on the "100 Best Songs of 2018" list by National Public Radio.[14] "The 100 Best Songs of 2018" list by Pitchfork named the song on the #8: "Instead of blaming the men in her life for the pain she’s endured, she thanks them for helping her become the woman she is today. In doing so, she takes the self-love that made Sweetener so special and extends it beyond herself, demonstrating optimism and compassion on the largest possible stage."[15] Dazed magazine's list, "The 20 best tracks of 2018", placed "Thank U, Next" on the #3.[16] and Billboard's "100 Best Songs of 2018" at #4.[17]

Vulture named "Thank U, Next" as the best song of 2018: "Following a year that culturally conditioned people to feed off of spite and vengeance, Ariana Grande decided for the public good to end it with an alternative: maturity" also adding that the song "is the anthem 2018 deserves: Rather than zap the pain from memory, Grande assesses the damage — specifically, her history with love — and rebuilds from the ground up, rekindling her most crucial relationship: Ariana and Ariana. Though she gives her exes their flowers, do not mistake this for a song about men; it’s dedicated to the woman at the eye of their storm who survived."[18] It was also named as the best song of the year by The Fader: "Ari[ana] has a massive audience, but here she sings as though she’s locked eyes with herself in a mirror. Sure, 'thank u, next' is a song about romantic breakups — she namechecks her relationships with Big Sean, Mac Miller, and Pete Davidson — but really it’s a philosophy on par with anything Eckhart Tolle has ever said. Her clarity is universal and contagious, and her logic is somehow warm and gentle: if something doesn’t serve you, maybe its absence will."[19]

Commercial performance[]

Following the worldwide release of "Thank U, Next", the song debuted at No. 1 on the iTunes Worldwide Song Chart and reached No. 1 on US Apple Music, becoming the first pop song to do so in 2018. It debuted at No. 1 on the global Spotify chart with 6,14 million streams.[20] It debuted at No. 1 on the UK Singles Chart[21] with first-week sales of 73,000 units including 6.7 million streams, becoming Grande's first solo single to achieve this. It also debuted at the top on the Official Irish Chart.[22]

Following its release date, on November 5, 2018, the song broke the record for the most streams received by a song in a single day by a female artist on Spotify, with 8.19 million streams globally, and increasingly extended it until November 9, when it received 9.6 million streams.[23][24][25]

Music video[]

The music video of the song premiered on November 30, 2018. Directed by Hannah Lux Davis, it is inspired by four classic movies, Bring it On (2000), Legally Blonde (2001), Mean Girls (2004) and 13 Going on 30 (2004).[27][28] A trailer of the video was released on November 27, 2018 via Grande's social media.[29] It includes a part of "7 Rings" instrumental, and the video is also used as the official music video's intro.

Jennifer Coolidge from Legally Blonde, and Jonathan Bennett and Stefanie Drummond from Mean Girls made a cameo in the video,[30][31] as well as Grande's friends including Alexa Luria, Courtney Chipolone, Colleen Ballinger, Elizabeth Gillies, Daniella Monet, Victoria Monét, Gabi DeMartino, Tayla Parx, and Troye Sivan.[32][33][34][35][36][29] Grande's dog, Toulouse, also appeared in the music video, Since Joan Grande didn't want to be in the music video,[37][38] Kris Jenner played her mom instead. However, Joan appears as an extra.

As of 2024, the video has over 700 million views on YouTube.

It was stated that the video has broken the YouTube record for the biggest music video debut in YouTube history...and also the fastest video to earn 100 million views.

Reception[]

Following its release, it reached 1 million likes on YouTube in less than 35 minutes of its release, breaking Taylor Swift's record of 12 hours with "Look What You Made Me Do" attracted in 2017. The video also broke the record for most-watched video within 24 hours, officially achieving over 55 million views on YouTube in its first day,[39] surpassing the 45.9 million YouTube views of BTS's "Idol" video, the previous record-holder and broke the previous VEVO Record, topping the 43.2 million VEVO views Swift's "Look What You Made Me Do".[40][41]

The video also broke the record for the fastest video to reach 100 million views in VEVO doing it in just 3 days and 10 hours.[42] On YouTube, it is the fastest female video to reach 100 million views and the second overall only behind "Gentleman" (2013) by PSY.

Billboard named the music video as Grande's best: "Complete with a 'Burn Book,' the 'bend and snap,' several celeb cameos (Troye Sivan, Kris Jenner, etc.) and a stamp of approval from the movies' original actors, the highly anticipated music video nonetheless managed to exceed all expectations."[43] In its "The 50 Best Music Videos of 2018: Critics' Picks" list, the magazine placed the song at number 9: "It takes a star at the top of her game, a singer whose personality and heartfelt subject matter shine through even as she's dressing up as her favorite rom-com characters. The final product taught us love, the elaborate roll-out taught us patience, but nothing about it taught us pain -- now that's so amazing. --".

The music video of "Thank U, Next" received 5 nominations for the 2019 MTV Video Music Awards, including "Video of the Year", "Song of the Year", "Best Pop" and "Best Direction".[44]

[Verse 1]
Thought I'd end up with Sean

And for Pete, I'm so thankful
Wish I could say, "Thank you" to Malcolm
'Cause he was an angel

[Pre-Chorus]
One taught me love
One taught me patience
And one taught me pain
