Fun fact: Pharrell pushed Ari to stop holding back and write about everything she was feeling after going through so much trauma, and the result was one of the rawest, most emotionally honest songs in her entire discography.

Like such an important moment in her discography

@pedroupland yes the lyrics are good but it’s her delivery that rlly sells it for me. The constant repeated words & layered vocals representin the many voices & thoughts u hear in a deep anxious state was conveyed perfectly by ari in this song

“i’ll be right there to pull you out the bubble” 🥹🥹

@donthurtyaself and resulted in best pop solo and her most critically acclaimed album. they wanna discredit godtener so bad

@flex0rcist And that’s why sweetener is the best album

If this is true, this is why I love sweetener and to everyone who criticize it, go touch grass

the likes… oh godlly

top 5 best song shes ever released and its not #5

I want her and Pharrell to work together again producing music

Bitch can’t write for shit and fuck Pharrell and his fart beats bitch

the likes.... see when you're head aridefender?

She should write about the trauma she puts other people through.

oh they could never make me hate you sweetener

This is my favorite Ariana song low-key

her best album closer

@anjelicasview People love to say she doesn’t have a lemonade but Sweetner came out around the same time and she was so vulnerable

@offthetablestn another fun fact is that her label didn't believe in the concept of her changing her sound + writing about her vulnerability in the same album. they were scared people wouldn't understand it.

@INMYPOSITI0NS And yet everyone still hated on Pharrell for this album..

Love this record so much. 🤍

most of her best songs are self written, actually.

they play with her so much smh

All the Pharrell tracks were written for her

you can really feel the shift when artists stop filtering themselves, the emotional weight of that track hits completely different

The real tension here is between two different versions of "rawness"—the first post frames it as therapeutic honesty (Pharrell as creative liberator), while the quoted sarcastic "(derogatory)" suggests that more artist control produced worse music, not better, because unfiltered personal trauma often lacks the pop structure that made earlier hits work. So the viral debate isn't about Ariana's healing—it's about whether audience enjoyment should ever be secondary to an artist's catharsis.

thank god for pharrell

& my favorite album till dis day

is this Ai?

And that’s why sweetener is the best album

we love Pharrell
