Ghostin is actually much deeper than you think, it’s about Ariana saying sorry to Pete Davidson, her fiancé at the time she wrote this, for crying about the death of her ex Mac Miller
To understand this album better you gotta know Ari’s headspace. She was extremely depressed from the love of her life mac dying and realizing she would always feel that way about him and that was just trying to get over him by getting with Pete. She hints in multiple songs that Pete was with her for the fame. He got sooo famous the second they started dating. The reason ari broke up with mac wasn’t bc she didn’t love him anymore, it was bc she couldn’t handle his addiction anymore she said. Her friends said that while on tour ariana wouldn’t sleep ever bc she was up all night worrying that he would OD. This album was written in the aftermath of that and trying to find herself and save herself bc she didn’t think she was going to make it she later said.
And before mac passed she was trying to heal from the bombing at her concert in Manchester UK who killed 22 people. She had severe anxiety, depression and PTSD after that plus then mac died shortly after. And while performing the thank u next album on tour she cried through many songs bc of losing mac. There’s a lot of videos of her crying through songs and it’s so sad.
Imagine is about mac Miller and imagine he was still here with her ❤ she only sang it live one time in full and does the whistle notes so well on Jimmy Fallon. Such a great performance.
Ghostin “though i wish he were here instead, don’t want that livin in your head. He just comes to visit me while I’m dreaming every now and then” 💔 also Ghostin samples a mac Miller song 2009 I believe it is.
i know u didn't know but its wild to hear you talk about city boys with ghostin' which is one of the saddest songs i've ever heard 😭 like what a vibe switch lol she's dealing with mourning an ex and a beloved friend in mac miller and not being able to move on with her current relationship because she's stuck grieving him
The fandom all have different fav Ariana albums. The top 3 that people comment about are thank u next, sweetener, and dangerous woman. But there’s also her newest album positions that is great too. Thank u next is my fav, partly because it got me through grieving a love one and brought joy when I needed it.
@@ImKozmo I was like damn he's really trying to listen but not at all hearing what she's saying 🤣 "Really don’t wanna be in your arms tonight I'll just use my covers to stay warm tonight Think I'm better off here all alone tonight"
Put simple she had dropped an album just the previous year (was still charting and on the radio as per usual lol) but there was the manchester bombings 2 yrs prior, then Mac died like months after she got with Pete. So she was a mess but it feels like the music was her therapy.
Break up with your gf I’m bored is a joke just for fun and it’s a hit lol but the music video she shows that she really means she’s telling HER Boyfriend to break up with HER (Ari) because ari is bored of the relationship and decides to love herself instead lol
