Changes: Nobody Does It Better

Revision as of 23:10, 29 February 2020

"Nobody Does It Better" is a song recorded by Ariana Grande intended for her debut album, Yours Truly. It was leaked on May 8, 2016.^[1]

Background

On May 8, 2016, Grande allegedly confirmed through a direct message that the song was recorded nearly three years ago, and was originally intended for her debut album Yours Truly.

Trivia

Before Grande confirmed it was for Yours Truly, fans believed the song was for Dangerous Woman, since the song was leaked days before the release of the album.
Due to the long instrumental bridge, it could be inferred that a rap verse was going to be featured before the song was scrapped.

Lyrics

[Intro: Harmony Samuels]
So what we gon' do?
So what you gon' do?
So what we gon' do?
So what you gon' do?

[Verse 1: Ariana Grande]
You said you'd never forget her
And she said she could change your life
It happened on the day you met her, oh
A love at first sight made you blind

[Pre-Chorus: Ariana Grande]
But I warned you she wasn't who she claimed to be
And no one could love you like me

[Chorus: Ariana Grande]
(Cause nobody does it better)
I know you're sittin' at home cryin' cause you miss me
(Nobody does it better)
You must be out of your mind, boy, what was you thinkin'?
(Yeah, nobody does it)
No one, no
No one, no
(No-no-nobody does it)
No one, no
No one
(No-no-nobody does it better)

[Verse 2: Ariana Grande]
Don't throw your heart out in a letter
Cause I already read your mind, oh
You know you messed out on forever, oh
And settled for a waste of time, mmm

[Pre-Chorus: Ariana Grande]
But I warned you she wasn't who she claimed to be
And no one could love you like me

[Chorus: Ariana Grande]
(Cause nobody does it better)
I know you're sittin' at home cryin' cause you miss me
(Nobody does it better)
You must be out of your mind, boy, what was you thinkin'?
(Yeah, nobody does it)
No one, no
No one, no
(No-no-nobody does it)
No one, no
No one
(No-no-nobody does it better)

[Instrumental Bridge]

[Pre-Chorus: Ariana Grande]
But I warned you she wasn't who she claimed to be
And no one could love you like me, ooooh, yeah

[Chorus: Ariana Grande]
(Cause nobody does it better)
I know you're sittin' at home (Sittin' at home) cryin' cause you miss me (Oooh, hey)
(Nobody does it better)
You must be out of your mind (Your mind), boy, what was you thinkin'? (Ooh)
(Yeah, nobody does it)
No one, no (I said no one, said no one)
No one, no
(No-no-nobody does it) (Oooh, baby)
No one, no (Ooooh)
No one (Oh)
(No-no-nobody does it better)

[Outro: Ariana Grande & Harmony Samuels]
So what we gon' do?
No-no-nobody does it
So what you gon' do?
So what we gon' do?
No-no-nobody does it better-better-better
So what you gon' do?
No-no-nobody does it better-better-better
No-no-nobody does it better
