I've done the music theory analysis...
The song is in E major, but the 'imperfect for you' line is a major F chord, a half step up from what the chord should be.
This is called a neopolitan 6th chord. (Common in classical music in the 17 and 18 century)
positions basically halved on it’s second day then kept going down… idk if that’s a testament to what a bit of promo could do or if the GP just wasn’t feeling it
ONE LAST NOTE this was more directed towards the audio engineers than emma herself, although I still disagree with her casting. I’m sure she’s a fine singer but I guess we’ll never know
ariana grande is so nicr to everyone. many celebrities wouldn‘t even stop to look at workers and ariana thanks and greets every single one each time such a recording comes out. queen behavior
if anyone was here in december 2020 when ariana broke the record, these same exact people were calling this record useless because it depended on playlisting 😭
it’s honestly kinda strange watching some problematic swifties speak up about sexism/feminism when a good 20% of their fan base like to slut-shame ariana... hm...
@WifiBish
I think that there is a way to talk about her “strength and growth” without the sappy background music and filters, it’s a time and place thing.
These are real people’s lives we’re talking about, we should have a little bit of sensitivity when bringing it up
One day we’ll explore how stans (tiktok specifically) aestheticize ariana’s trauma and how the par-asocial relationship makes them feel like her struggle is also theirs
It's still a major chord, but not one in the E major scale.
The chromaticism (moving up and down by half step rather than whole step)
and accidentals (using notes not in the key)
give a chilling yet refreshing feel.
