However, many have speculated that Miller’s drug and alcohol use was to blame for their split, especially after Grande A photo posted by on. Ariana Grande was confirmed to be dating luxury real estate agent, Dalton Gomez back in March 2020, before the pair announced their engagement in December of that same year. They tied the knot in May 2021, with a dreamy, intimate ceremony but now, as of July 2023, the pair have reportedly split. 9hkr. This past week, Ariana Grande’s highly anticipated album Positions was released on all listening platforms, garnering widespread praise. In Grande's track with The Weekend, "Off the Table," she expresses feelings of being stuck between whether or not to move on with now-boyfriend Dalton Gomez after losing her ex boyfriend, Mac Miller, to a drug overdose. She starts the song by addressing Miller, saying, "Will I ever love the same way again? / Will I ever love somebody like the way I did you? / Never thought you'd be so damn hard to replace." In one verse, she sings about her confusion over her emotional state. She says, "Might not be quite yet healed or ready / Should I be goin' too steady? / But I just wanna know is love complеtely off the table?" The pop singer openly conveys her deep sense of loss, and paints a clearer picture of the deep connection the couple must have had. The Weeknd sings as Gomez, her new partner, willing to wait for her to be ready. The song gives an inside look into Grande’s current healing headspace in her new relationship. Grande and Miller broke up after two and a half years of dating shortly after Coachella 2018. The two had been friends for a long time, and Grande revealed on Twitter that Miller’s substance abuse issues made their relationship toxic. "I am not a babysitter or a mother and no woman should feel that they need to be," she wrote in May 2018. “Of course I didn’t share about how hard or scary it was while it was happening but it was. I will continue to pray from the bottom of my heart that he figures it all out and that any other woman in this position does as well." In the same year, Grande started dating, and quickly became engaged to, SNL star Pete Davidson. Shortly after, Miller passed away from an accidental overdose, leading Grande to break up with Davidson and go on a personal journey regarding her relationship to love. The “Thank U Next” singer spoke to Vogue in July 2019 about mourning Miller. "By no means was what we had perfect, but, like, f*ck. He was the best person ever, and he didn’t deserve the demons he had. I was the glue for such a long time, and I found myself becoming...less and less sticky. The pieces just started to float away.” Fans took to social media to express their reactions to “Off the Table.” The lyrics for “Off the Table” are currently available to view on Genius, along with some explainers from Grande. The song is currently available to stream on Spotify and Apple Music. NEXT: What To Expect From Ariana Grande's Next Album Anyone who listens to Ariana Grande’s music knows that everything she produces is deeply personal. She consistently embraces her feelings in her music and there’s really never a time when she’s not sharing some deep part of who she is with her fans. Nothing proves that more than Grande’s songs about her ex, Mac Miller. After Miller’s death in September 2018, Grande poured her heart and soul into her music. And from that came a really lovely song called “Imagine,” which fans believe is about Miller (at least in part). But that’s not the first time Grande has written lyrics about Miller, according to fans. In fact, she’s done it quite a few times, especially with the release of her albums thank u, next and Positions. Here’s a look at eight Ariana Grande songs about Mac to be clear: Grande has never directly addressed these song lyrics, which seem to be about Miller. She’s a deeply private person, so a lot of this is left up to fan speculation. Either way, Grande’s lyrics flawlessly convey the experience of love, loss, and everything in between, so it’s no wonder she’s the unofficial queen of heartbreak bops. 1. “Imagine”This thank u, next track is believed to be about Miller. Here’s a look at the lyrics:Step up the two of us, nobody knows us / Get in the car like, 'Skrrt' / Staying up all night, order me pad thai / Then we gon' sleep 'til noon / Me with no makeup, you in the bathtub / Bubbles and bubbly, ooh / This is a pleasure, feel like we never act this regularClick, click, click and post / Drip-drip-dripped in gold / Quick, quick, quick, let's go / Kiss me and take off your clothes Imagine a world like that / Imagine a world like that / We go like up 'til I'm 'sleep on your chest / Love how my face fits so good in your neck / Why can't you imagine a world like that? / Imagine a worldWhile the lyrics may not immediately conjure images of Miller, one brave fan asked Grande what the song was about. Grande revealed the meaning behind “Imagine” in really simple terms. That certainly hints that Grande could have had her relationship with Miller in mind when she was recording the to mention the fact that Miller had a tattoo on his arm that said “Imagine”:2. “Better Off”While “Imagine” is seemingly about Grande imagining a life where she was able to live happily ever after with Miller, the track “Better Off” from her Sweetener album definitely has "love gone wrong" written all over it. Here’s how Grande addresses a relationship in the song: Go on and face it, I'll never be ready for you (ready for you) / I swear my love is a curse, make you handle issues (handle issues) / Let's put them topics to bed and go f*ck on the roof, just to say that we did it / You keep insisting I listen to your proposition / I dismiss them all, no offense, yeah Steering clear of any headaches to start / And if we're being honest / I'd rather your body than half of your heart / Or jealous-ridden comments / That come when you let in them feelings that I don't want / I never let 'em know too much / Hate gettin' too emotional, yeahWhile there's no way to know for sure if Grande was singing about Mac Miller in "Better Off," when it dropped, fans speculated that she was. The lyrics could possibly be read as an extension of what Grande revealed about her troubled relationship with Miller back in May 2018 after the two had broken up:Elite Daily reached out to Grande's team for confirmation that "Better Off" was about Miller, but did not hear back by the time of “Everytime”Another track featured on Sweetener is “Everytime”, a song that details the push and pull of a troubled romance. According to fans, Grande appears to be referencing her ill-fated relationship with Miller in the lyrics. Here's a look at the lyrics:I get tired of your no-shows / You get tired of my control (yuh) / They keep telling me to let go / But I don't really let go when I say so (yuh, yuh) / I keep giving people blank stares (yeah) / I'm so different when you're not there (yuh) / It's like something out of Shakespeare / Because I'm really not here when you're not thereGetty Images/Getty Images Entertainment/Getty ImagesAnd the chorus truly seems to allude to the issues Ariana referenced in her tweet about their breakup:(Yeah) You get high and call on the regular / I get weak and fall like a teenager / Why, oh why does God keep bringing me back to you? / I get drunk, pretend that I'm over it / Self-destruct, show up like an idiot / Why, oh why does God keep bringing me back to you?Elite Daily reached out to Grande's team for confirmation that "Everytime" was about Miller, but did not hear back by the time of "Better Off" and "Everytime" were about Miller or not, it doesn't change the fact that Grande loved him fiercely, and still does. Relationships are complicated, and it's clear from Grande's tweets about what led to their breakup that her relationship with Miller was no "Thank U, Next"Although Grande and Miller clearly had no shortage of troubles, they also had no shortage of love while they were together, and that can be seen throughout Grande's tributes to Miller since his death. Grande gave the rapper the ultimate shoutout in her hit single, "Thank U, Next," after his death when she sang:Wish I could say, "Thank you" to Malcolm / 'Cause he was an angelClearly, Grande cherished Miller as a person through good times and rough times, and if all of these songs are about Miller like fans speculate, then it's commendable that she was authentic about the good and the rough times in her lyrics. They really capture how deep her relationship with Miller was and there’s no doubt that this particular relationship had a huge impact on her, both personally and creatively. 5. “Just Like Magic”In Grande’s “Just Like Magic,” which appeared on her 2020 album Positions, she included a lyric about “heaven” that was seemingly a nod to Miller."Good karma my aesthetic (Aesthetic) / Keep my conscience clear, that's why I'm so magnetic / Manifest it (Yeah), I finessed it (I finessed it) / Take my pen and write some love letters to Heaven,” she “Six Thirty”While the lyrics of Grande’s Positions track “Six Thirty” didn’t directly address Miller or his passing, the song title seemed like a clear tribute to him to fans. Before his death, Miller recorded a song titled “6:30,” which never saw the light of day until it leaked in December “Ghostin’”This thank u, next track is all about the ghost of a past relationship rearing its head during the start of a new romance. In it, Grande sang: “Though I wish he were here instead/Don’t want that living in your head/ He just comes to visit me/ When I’m dreaming every now and then (And then).”Seeing as she was dating Pete Davidson at the time of its release, it’s safe to assume the song was written about Miller, whom she dated directly before “Off The Table”Fans presume the Positions’ track “Off The Table” was written about Miller after Grande sang all about worrying she won’t be able to “love the same again” after the loss of a one verse, she sang:Will I ever love the same way again? (Way again) / Will I ever love somebody like the way I did you? / Never thought you'd be so damn hard to replace / I swear I don't mean to be this way / If I can't have you, is love completely off the table?This article was originally published on 20 December 2020, 00:01 Ariana Grande and Mac Miller had a 'toxic' relationship.
