Allan Peter Grigg, Pebe Sebert, and Ariana wrote the song together. Ariana also performed this song in the stage production A Snow White Christmas which had the lead role in.^[4] Ariana sang this song in a live chat in December 2013.^[5]

On November 6, 2015, Ariana posted on Snapchat that she would be releasing the long-awaited studio version of "Voodoo Love" as well as the original version of "Honeymoon Avenue" that same week.^[6] Several days later, Ariana apologizes to fans for the delay because she was still deciding what to do with the song.

Lyrics

Verse 1
I wanna mix a potion up
Make a special drink for you, mmm-hmm
Just a little sip and you're never
Gonna know what hit you

Yeah, when I'm through
Oh, yeah

Pre-Chorus 1
Now I'm not talking 'bout movies
Don't need no happy end
I just wanna make you love me
And stay through thick and thin

I'm just gonna use some magic
Might feel a little drunk
And if you try to leave me
I'll lock you in my trunk

CHORUS
I'm gonna witch you
I'll stick a pin right in you
My voodoo's so addicting
Three silver spoons of Brandy Wine
Just a frog and a little thyme
And, baby, you'll be mine
With my voodoo love, aw yeah
With my voodoo love, aw yeah-yeah

Verse 2
Boy, I really knew
You were the one
The moment that
I saw your eyes

Mmm-hmm

Strong and wise
And sweet and quiet
Yeah, you're just my type
Mmm-hmm

Pre-Chorus 2
Now I'm not talking 'bout movies
Don't need no happy end
I just wanna make you love me
And be my shiny prince

I'm just gonna use some magic
Might feel a little high
But we'll be so enchanted
And you'll feel so alive

CHORUS
I'm gonna witch you
I'll stick a pin right in you
My voodoo's so addicting
Three silver spoons of Brandy Wine
Just a frog and a little thyme
And, baby, you'll be mine
With my voodoo love, aw yeah
With my voodoo love, aw yeah

Bridge
I always get
Just what I want
And boy, I really
Want you now

So just say yes
Can't second guess
The power!
Of my voodoo love!

My voodoo love
My voodoo love!

My voodoo love!!

CHORUS
I'm gonna witch you
I'll stick a pin right in you
My voodoo's so addicting
(My vodoo la-la-love)
Three silver spoons of Brandy Wine
Just a frog and a little thyme
And, baby, you'll be mine
(Baby, you'll be mine! you'll mine)
With my voodoo love, aw yeah
(With my voodoo love, with my voodoo love)
With my voodoo love, aw yeah
(With my voodoo love, with my voodoo love)
