"Voodoo Love" is a song by Ariana Grande meant for her debut album, Yours Truly.
Background
"Voodoo Love" is one of Ariana's first original songs. She released a preview of this song on her Keek on November 8, 2012[1] and later played the full version on her live chat on November 12, 2012.[2] However, Ariana did not officially release the song as a single at this time although many fans knew about it. 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.[3] Ariana sang this song in a live chat in December 2013.[4]
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.[5] Several days later, Ariana apologizes to fans for the delay because she was still deciding what to do with the song.[6] In February 2016, Ariana shut down rumors that "Voodoo Love" would be on Dangerous Woman but promised she would release it by the end of the year.[7] Finally, the official audio of the song (along with "Honeymoon Avenue") was released on August 2, 2016 through her SoundCloud account.[8]
Lyrics
[Verse 1]
I wanna mix a potion up
Make a special drink for you
Mmm-mmm
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
3 silver spoons of branded 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
[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
3 silver spoons of branded 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
[Chorus]
I'm gonna witch you, I'll stick a pin right in you
My voodoo's so addicting
3 silver spoons of branded 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
