"Jason On Occasion" (stylized in all lowercase), is an unreleased song intended for Ariana Grande's fourth studio album, Sweetener. It was written by Pharrell Williams and co-written by Ariana.

"Jason on Occasion" reminisces Grande and her partner's relationships. When she looks back at this, she realizes that they had fun together but that it was just a distraction from her real life. She then understands that it was best that they broke up so that she can focus on herself and take time to self-heal.

Background

The song was recorded back in 2016 before being leaked on March 17, 2021 on YouTube. The song uses many elements of R&B and is an upbeat track. Grande shows off her whistle register during the chorus of the song.

Trivia

• This is one of thirty unreleased songs from Sweetener which have been scrapped prior to the album's release

Lyrics

[Intro]
Yeah, yeah (‎Jason), yeah, yeah (Wooh)
Ay, ay, ay, ay
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah

[Chorus]
I'ma do nothing
Been having so much fun (Woo)
My friends say I'm too cute (Skrrt skrrt)
And I'm way too young (Sheesh)
To be crying over you (Ay)
What else can I do? (Ay)
Nothing left to choose
Except ‎Jason on occasion (‎Jason)

[Post-Chorus]
I thought that I was a hopeless romantic (Thought that I)
I thought that I was a hopeless romantic (Sheesh)
I really thought that I'd be like my grandparents (Ay)
I thought that I was a hopeless romantic (Thought that I)

[Verse 1]
Do I really want that life if it feel like being choked?
I thought that I was a hopeless romantic
When my homies link up there's a thousand reasons I can't go
I thought that I was a hopeless romantic

[Pre-Chorus]
What the hеll you mean they do evеry night?
Don't wanna get left, that's scary right?
To bask all in the tequila, and a orange slice
Not too heavy I'm very light
But what if I get hungry and I want a bite
Fast forward, I don't get to see ya
I'm on the phone like

[Chorus]
I'ma do nothing
Been having so much fun
My friends say I'm too cute (Skrrt, Skrrt)
And I'm way too young
To be crying over you (Ay)
What else can I do? (Ay)
Nothing left to choose
Except ‎Jason on occasion (‎Jason)

[Post-Chorus]
I live for (Sheesh, I'm leaving)
(I thought that I was a hopeless romantic)
Of course not only for your feelings
(I thought that I was a hopeless romantic)

[Verse 2]
We were young, we messed around
Back and forth and in and out
(I thought that I was a hopeless romantic)
Then we started going out
Going a hundred miles per hour
Gave too much of myself

[Pre-Chorus]
What the hell you mean they do every night?
Don't wanna get left, that's scary right?
To bask all in the tequila, and a orange slice (Woo)
Not too heavy I'm very light (Woo)
But what if I get hungry and I want a bite (Yee)
Fast forward, I don't get to see ya (Yee)
I'm on the phone like

[Chorus]
I'ma do nothing (Sheesh)
Been having so much fun
My friends say I'm too cute (Skrrt, Skrrt)
And I'm way too young
To be crying over you (Yeah)
What else can I do? (Ay)
Nothing left to choose
Except ‎Jason on occasion (Skrrt)

[Bridge]
Hey, I'm just taking care of me (Yeah)
You should probably know
That this shit is not okay (Ay)
We should both be healthy (Sheesh)
Hey, I'm not feeling guilty (Uh, Uh)
You should probably know
I'm just trynna feel safe (Sheesh)
But we gon' be okay (Hey, hey)


[Chorus]
I'ma do nothing (Sheesh)
Been having so much fun
My friends say I'm too cute (Skrrt, Skrrt)
And I'm way too young
To be crying over you
What else can I do? (Ay)
Nothing left to choose
Except ‎Jason on occasion


[Outro]
Except ‎Jason on occasion (‎Jason, sheesh)
Except ‎Jason on occasion (Sheesh)
