"Get Well Soon" (stylized in all lowercase) is the fifteenth and final track from Ariana Grande's fourth studio album, Sweetener.[2][3] It was released through Republic Records on August 17, 2018.

A live version of the song is featured on K Bye For Now (SWT Live), which was released on December 23, 2019.

Background

The song was first teased on December 31, 2017, on Grande's Instagram.[1] She confirmed that the snippet is from the song on May 29, 2018.[4]

Grande revealed "Get Well Soon" on May 17, 2018, in her interview for TIME Magazine's 'Next Generation Leaders'. The track is described as her vocals are interwoven in dense layers of sound, creating an otherworldly effect.[2] The next day she teased the name of the song via her Twitter account.[5] On May 29, 2018, Grande said that the song is about her anxiety, she said: "I felt like I was floating for like 3 months last year and not in a nice way. Like I [am] outside my body? [It] was very scary and I couldn't breathe well. So it's about that. And lots of voices in my head singing. I hope it comforts people who hear it, please".[6]

On June 1, Grande replied to a fan on Twitter that "Get Well Soon" is the fifteenth track from the album.[3] She also revealed that the it is the longest track on the album.

On July 3, 2018, Grande posted a screenshot of her listening to the song on her Instagram story, confirming that the song's length was 5:22. On July 8, 2018, Pharrell Williams posted a snippet of him singing the song on his Instagram story. On the same day, Grande posted a 40-second-snippet of the song on her social media.

On August 19, Grande posted a snippet of a visual for the song.[7]

Critical reception

Pitchfork editor Jillian Mapes called "Get Well Soon" a "career-defining moment" and praised it as "the sort of freeform, self-help soul ballad you’d maybe expect to round out a Beyoncé opus" and wrote: "Anyone who knows how gracefully Grande handled the horrific events at her Manchester show last year will recognize an equally graceful response to her own emotional aftermath in this song."[8] The Independent's Kate Solomon called the track ambitious and said: "As a five-minute musical interpretation of the post-traumatic panic attacks Grande has suffered, 'Get Well Soon' is not exactly enjoyable to listen to but admirable in its honesty."[9]

Paper magazine's list "Top 100 Songs of 2018" placed "Get Well Soon" at #15: "Ariana Grande did something she didn't have to, and transformed her pain into something digestible, like sweetener molecules settling into a bitter cup of coffee; Sweetener's legacy will be its resoundingly positive message about true love's grace."[10]

Live performances

Grande debuted "Get Well Soon" live on August 20, 2018 at The Sweetener Sessions. On May 14, 2019, the song was added to the Sweetener World Tour setlist, replacing "Goodnight N Go". However on August 17, 2019, the song was removed and replaced to "Only 1".
