Is this gonna be her Judas in America?

I thought 'Raindrops' was always confirmed to be just an interlude? It's stunning too wub.gif

I'm pretty sure it was, for an intro tracks it is all the world needs and doesn't even deserve it.

Buzzing for single 2!!

I have no idea I don't follow it all that close. I just heard the ''snippet'' and thought it was part of a song.

I've liked both singles she's put out so far from this era so hopefully this is another good one for her.

Posted by: Theo. Jul 12 2018, 10:50 AM

This is coming tonight/tomorrow!

Posted by: Jordan Lee Jul 12 2018, 10:53 AM

Really think this is gonna be a BIG single / moment for her! So excited to hear this.

Oooo, It better be good and be released with the video for that new rule!

Posted by: UltraReputation Jul 12 2018, 11:59 AM

Iirc I'm pretty sure Ari tweeted the video is coming tomorrow as well *.*

So hyped for this cos it's produced by Max <3 god is a woman is coming to rebuild my hype that the light is coming stole *.*

Posted by: Liаm Jul 12 2018, 12:04 PM

Yaass a week early *.* Can't wait, I have every faith this will be incred as it's back to Max Martin.

Posted by: Eleni Foureira Jul 12 2018, 08:48 PM

I wonder why they brought it forward

Posted by: Jonjo Jul 12 2018, 10:08 PM

I wonder if Gaga IS releasing next week and they dont want her hype to swallow it up, maybe? unsure.gif

Posted by: Liаm Jul 12 2018, 10:33 PM

She's saying it was "always" tonight laugh.gif Idk if she's just being coy about what might be coming up.

My first instinct was Rihanna could be surprise releasing something next week. I love Gaga but I think an Ariana single would chart higher and would definitely get more streams too.

Posted by: Juliano Jul 13 2018, 04:18 AM

Omg I love It!! YAAAASSS!!! Definately on par with No Tears.

Posted by: Liаm Jul 13 2018, 04:21 AM

THE GOSPEL CHOIR AT THE END MY LORDDDDDD

This is everything she needed after TLIC tbh, it's a HIT. It kinda sounds like a bang on trend Drake #1 but if a big pop girl did it, it's got flecks of a lot of the highs of Dangerous Woman while still progressing. The beat is amazing, the vocals are sultry, the lyrics are sexy *.*

Posted by: lotita. Jul 13 2018, 05:25 AM

oh my god she is 3 for 3 I am shook

A Drake comparison thats not negative? On Buzzjack? ohmy.gif

This is definitely turning out to be a 10/10 era through & through, loving all 3 singles so far + her collabs are amazing too

edit: I don't think she's moved the release to avoid clashing hype with Lady Gaga either, yes she's big but I haven't heard half as much hype about LG than I have about Ariana

Posted by: mdh Jul 13 2018, 07:11 AM

This is doing absolutely nothing for me. Really not liking her style this era.

Posted by: Joe. Jul 13 2018, 08:01 AM

I've only listened twice but it's not doing much for me either.

Posted by: UltraReputation Jul 13 2018, 08:05 AM

Yeah I'm really disappointed with this so far 😭😭

Posted by: Connor. Jul 13 2018, 08:17 AM

I’m not that keen on this either on first listen. Hopefully it will be a grower.

Posted by: Tawdry Hepburn Jul 13 2018, 08:30 AM

I've been so excited to hear this, but I can't listen until this evening. sad.gif

What sort of sound is it?

Posted by: JAKE Jul 13 2018, 10:25 AM

well it’s sort of melody and hook free isn’t it? which is kind of shocking for max martin

i don’t think it’s a ‘hit’ at all? i can’t imagine this being played on the radio at all


Posted by: danG Jul 13 2018, 10:28 AM

quite underwhelming.

Posted by: Lee_J11 Jul 13 2018, 10:29 AM

Also joining the "Meh" bandwagon after a few listens im afraid sad.gif

I mean its a damn sight better than TLIC but I was just waiting for it to GO OFF.. and it just didnt?

It's very in with the current sound of NTLTC (like certain production flourishes, the heavenly choir parts etc...) but mixed with one of the more chilled, mellowed tracks of something from 'Dangerous Woman'. Tbf, first listen I was like "this is just 'nice'", but 2nd listen onwards I'm noticing a lot more to it than it just being simply 'nice'. The ending with the choir parts is the best bit for me wub.gif

Posted by: JAKE Jul 13 2018, 10:54 AM

but j it’s totally tuneless; i’m all for ariana being more experimental and going out of her comfort zone but this is monotonous and stands up to nothing.

if you are going to foresake melody and tune you have to have character and sway behind you but this feels more like a studio experiment gone awry....

Posted by: Joe. Jul 13 2018, 11:33 AM

I'm trying to remember the tune after hearing it 4 times and I keep singing "God is a woman' to the tune of Bed.

Posted by: Juliano Jul 13 2018, 11:37 AM

Woah, not the reaction I was expecting! Hope it will grow on you all. Just finished work and I'm already on my 3rd replay on my home. I can imagine it being a Khalid collab and I'm loving him atm.

Posted by: LewisGT Jul 13 2018, 11:42 AM

I enjoyed it but it's my least favourite of the 3 so far.

Posted by: HarryEzra Jul 13 2018, 12:02 PM

I really like it and I defo prefer it to 'The Light Is Coming'.

Posted by: Jordan Lee Jul 13 2018, 12:02 PM

I love it!! Was so nervous listening seeing the comments but it’s been instant with me in the way No Tears was so I’m hopeful for the album being good now after disliking The Light Is Coming.

Posted by: Cqmerqn Jul 13 2018, 01:19 PM

Don’t understand the hate at all!

Posted by: Davidson Jul 13 2018, 01:30 PM

This is great, what are you guys on?

This is such a great follow up to the 'Dangerous Woman' sound. So f***ing good.

Posted by: travis Jul 13 2018, 01:31 PM

Expected the worst from the comments in here, but it's so good imo! She's really pulling out all the stops for me this era.

Khalid remix please *.*

Posted by: Liаm Jul 13 2018, 02:38 PM

Really not getting the hate here laugh.gif It feels like she is carving out her own sound this era rather than just taking an easier route of like an album full of Into Yous (not that that isn't a towering pop bohemoth of untouchable proportions) and Manchester ballads or whatever.

Posted by: Jade Jul 13 2018, 02:47 PM

Aww I'm pretty underwhelmed by this, I'm really hoping that it'll be a grower because I love the other two songs we have so far.

01. no tears left to cry
02. the light is coming
03. God is a woman

Posted by: ǝʎʞ Jul 13 2018, 02:59 PM

it’s a grower.. stick with it

Posted by: John-James Jul 13 2018, 04:11 PM



Great video but WTF at that screaming part!!

Posted by: Neil Jul 13 2018, 04:11 PM

Surprised to see such a mixed reaction in here! Love this <3

Posted by: Jordan Lee Jul 13 2018, 04:15 PM

OMG that video is her absolute best video to date. Absolutely STUNNING heart.gif
She is not playing at all this era visually

Posted by: Liаm Jul 13 2018, 04:27 PM

A VIDEO

Omggg it's stunning, so much to take in so I'm gonna need a few more watches laugh.gif

Posted by: Cqmerqn Jul 13 2018, 05:05 PM

11/10 No Tears Left To Cry
10/10 God is a woman
05/10 the light is coming

Posted by: Liаm Jul 13 2018, 05:11 PM

Madonna does the monologue btw *.*

Posted by: Quartonworks Jul 13 2018, 05:31 PM

Just..WOW at the video ! It's really added a different dimension to the song, absolutely loving it

Posted by: Cucumberella Jul 13 2018, 05:41 PM

the song is very R&B early-mid 00's tune amped up a little - the video is obviously epic by definition too, i do feel that it's overcompensating and i can't help but feel the era atm is a bit kіtchen sink with her trying to capitalise on her previous big era, with her thinking of how to top it. the fact she's a very subtle individual, singing middling urban songs, with 'epic' videos, it's all a bit dichotomous.

Posted by: Tawdry Hepburn Jul 13 2018, 05:47 PM

Really really good!

She is really smashing it with the videos this era too, spectacular.

Posted by: lotita. Jul 13 2018, 06:57 PM

that video is giving me everything i am in LOVE

honestly everything this era is 11/10 i am genuienly obsessed

Posted by: SKOB Jul 13 2018, 07:29 PM

This is era is smashing from left and right ohmy.gif

Posted by: Joe. Jul 13 2018, 07:50 PM

The video is a masterpiece.

Apart from the gophers.

Posted by: Euphorique Jul 13 2018, 09:03 PM

Wow at some people rating this lower than the godawful TLIC

Anyway this is great! Not on NTLTC level, but a really smooth urban-pop jam. Max Martin really can do anything

Posted by: Atonement Jul 13 2018, 09:21 PM

Another amazing song!

Video is good but the marmots are whatever they are and the speech are a bit annoying. I hate breaks in MVs.

Posted by: ǝʎʞ Jul 13 2018, 09:28 PM

its worth noting that this is max written but it’s produced by ilya.

Posted by: Jordan Lee Jul 13 2018, 11:12 PM

I can’t wait to see the behind the scenes of the video if there is one. So many things I’m thinking how did they do that. Totally mind blown by that video. Visually stunning.

Posted by: Jade Jul 14 2018, 01:38 AM

Okay yes this is an almighty grower... I'm sold after listen 3 *.*

Posted by: Atonement Jul 14 2018, 06:52 AM

This song is a masterpiece. The choir at the end really sells it. Some of the scenery in the video is stunning. My fav. is the lighthouse with the waves splashing at the end.

Posted by: Jonjo Jul 14 2018, 07:17 AM

That video is incredible. That's how you use green screen to great effect.

The song keeps growing. Amazing.

Posted by: Cqmerqn Jul 14 2018, 08:55 AM

I just watched the video and... oh my god. She is smashing it.

It feels like she’s trying to show us that she IS the main pop girl, and rightfully so.

Posted by: Jay ☆ Jul 14 2018, 09:32 AM

I was a bit unsure on first listen (simply because it wasn't what I was expecting, so it caught me off guard) but I was feeling it more and more with every subsequent listen. Then the incredible video came along! wub.gif It's so captivating (not sure about the screaming gophers though... kink.gif ). The video lifted the song even more - and I'm really loving it now.

Posted by: NellyEverySundae Jul 14 2018, 11:17 AM

The screams actually frightened me laugh.gif

I quite like the song actually heart.gif It has quite the ethereal vibe to it but like ‘No Tears’ it’s taken me a few re-listens for me to fully start enjoying it.

Posted by: Queef of Skreech Jul 14 2018, 11:25 AM

Lol. You know that is actual brainwashing then? As your brain releases more endorphins the more familiar you are with a track. If at first you are repulsed, that is your REAL opinion. Wanting to like it + endorphins = brainwashed "liking". It's why they pay for singers to be blasted over radio again and aaaagain and agaaain and put on all the playlists.

Yes it is true that familiarity with a song makes you like it more (in general) but there are many many factors that affect that, and "brainwashing" is a ridiculously sensationalist way to put it laugh.gif If it was "brainwashing" then *everyone* would be some brainless army of loving every song on the radio like some weird cartoon subplot, and that isn't the case. Besides, if I do just start to like a song through a few listens, I'd rather like it, whether I've been ""brainwashed""" or not, rather than harp on about it laugh.gif

Also familiarity can breed ambivalence, because you might have a lot of conflicting information and opinions to process, in this case about the artist and their other work, your initial feelings of the song, it's very complex and not as simple as poor dumb people without their own taste in music being sheep because they want to like the new Ariana Grande song like everyone else rolleyes.gif

Officially in the highest tier of the pop ladies now.

Posted by: Slick Jul 15 2018, 07:51 AM

This song is such a grower. I was a bit underwhelmed on first listen but it is a TUNE. Apart from 'The Light Is Coming' which is trash, I've really enjoyed everything from this era so far.

Posted by: Cremey Jul 15 2018, 10:59 AM

3/3 for me but this is by far my favourite. The buildup to the chorus is divine 🤤

Posted by: Dexton Jul 15 2018, 11:47 AM

I love this more & more each time I listen to it (look at me, I've been brainwashed...)

The video is spectacular too, by far one of the best I've seen this year I think. I love the gophers (? no one actually seems to know what these things are which is quite funny) and reminded me of this


Also Madonna imitating God reciting a verse from the bible made famous by Samuel L Jackson in Pulp Fiction will probably be one of the most iconic moments of the year

No, it's clearly brainwashing.

Tastes and opinions aren't able to adapt or change.

Up 8 places to #9 on U.K. Spotify
Up 3 places to #5 on US Spotify
Up 6 spaces to #4 on Global Spotify ohmy.gif

Posted by: Joe. Jul 17 2018, 09:14 AM

To be fair I really like the song now and am glad it looks to be another big hit. My one minor issue with is that I wish there was something to build up to the choir at the end, it comes in so quick it feels like an afterthought. I'd have loved a moment of silence before it came crashing in for example.

Posted by: Tawdry Hepburn Jul 17 2018, 09:24 AM

I really liked it on the first listen, but it just grows and grows in my affections each time I listen to it. wub.gif

This woman is Queen right now.

Posted by: danG Jul 17 2018, 10:51 AM

yeah it's clearly a grower. liking it a bit more now.

Posted by: Regina Jul 18 2018, 11:43 PM

This is a third disappointing song in a row from her. Such a lacklustre and plain song.
This era is sailing by on hype alone and the music is just so pedestrian.

Posted by: Tawdry Hepburn Jul 20 2018, 05:24 PM

#4 in the UK this week. cheer.gif

Hopefully a new peak in the coming weeks though!

Posted by: HarryEzra Jul 20 2018, 06:37 PM

Im glad it reached high its amazing that the first two singles from last era reached #17 and #14 and the first two reached #2 and #4 wub.gif

Posted by: Juliano Jul 20 2018, 07:30 PM

Great debut! Hopefully we will see it climb like the smash it deserves to be. The Light Is Coming re-entered the chart also at #93, year of our bitch gorl! wub.gif

Girl SLAYED her VMA performance last night! The choreography was everything and I loved that she brought her mum and nonna out at the end wub.gif Really sold the song to me as well after really not 'getting' it before now.

The song has an explicit symbol on iTunes when it doesn’t have any explicit lyrics

Posted by: Jonjo Aug 22 2018, 11:51 PM

It's because of the theme of the song.

God is explicit

Posted by: Jade Aug 31 2018, 02:18 AM

Late but that VMAs performance was everythinggg. wub.gif she's got so much more star quality about her these days (remember when the 'Problem' video came out and the common opinion was that Iggy was the star of that show? *_*) and I can't get over how spot on her live vocals are there. This is currently spending a second week at #1 on my Personal Chart so I think this is one of the biggest turnarounds I've ever had with a song laugh.gif

VMAs performance really was something wub.gif Glad that it made the Billboard Hot 100 Top 10 too, #8 peak *.*

Late to the scene but this song is amazing from her. 

Posted by: Jordan Lee Jan 22 2019, 12:31 PM

Her best music video.

And a fantastic song too.

I'd actually say one of her most underrated tbh. I was suprised it wasn't #1, but I guess people weren't ready for the religious references.

Posted by: Tawdry Hepburn Jan 29 2019, 09:21 PM

I wouldn't have expected this to go to #1 if 'Tears' couldn't, but I still adore this so much. It's infinitely better than anything from the new era anyway.

That's a good point, I'm still in shock 'Tears couldn't.

I think this has now overtaken 'Love Me Harder' as my favourite Ariana song. SO GOOD.

Posted by: Jordan Lee Mar 23 2019, 10:42 PM

I think this might be my favourite from her too.

Definitely her best visual.

Also on a random note this was performed on the voice uk tonight by a male contestant.

Did he change the lyrics to "God is a man"?

I saw a lil bit of the performance (it was pretty bland tbh) butttt he did change the lyrics to "I'll believe God is a woman"

Posted by: Jordan Lee Mar 26 2019, 02:16 AM

The performance was Ok as far as covers go. It felt strange hearing a Male take. The chorus did change to I’ll believe God is a woman though.

False alarm earlier as Ariana tweeted about the 1 year anniversary of this a day early and then deleted it laugh.gif but nowww it's been a year of this masterpiece wub.gif

Can't believe it's been a year since this already. :0

Great tune but I haven't revisited as much as the other singles of Sweetener.

Posted by: JosephAvery Jul 13 2019, 08:59 PM

1 year ohmy.gif wow! I remember not being sure on this at first but it quickly wormed its way up in my affections, particularly that final chorus wub.gif

Posted by: Jordan Lee Jul 13 2019, 10:56 PM

This was the most instant sweetener track for me. I instantly adored it.


The video is her all time best visual as well.


The song is a total 10/10 too! My second favourite Ari track ever.

Posted by: Jade Aug 20 2019, 10:04 PM



I'm still obsessed with this performance wub.gif wish she was performing again this year!

Posted by: Jordan Lee Aug 20 2019, 10:49 PM

I think that performance is my favourite ever Ariana awards show performance tbh.

The whole package just worked and it really showed how far she’d come as a live performer being able to captivate and command attention from the audience. I was blown away when I first seen that as she’d always impressed vocally live but sometimes looked quite scared when doing things like choreography but this changed all of that.

Posted by: Juliano Aug 21 2019, 07:16 AM

For me it's the performance I go back to watch most often, so good!

Posted by: Jade Aug 21 2019, 10:11 AM

Yeah it has so much replay-ability factor wub.gif 'thank u, next' on Ellen is another recent fave.

In other 'God is a woman' news, a lawsuit has been dropped against the music video. https://pitchfork.com/news/ariana-grande-god-is-a-woman-music-video-lawsuit-dropped/

The reason? Well, this similarity to a painting during some scenes in the video...

Happy 2nd birthday to this incredible package *.*

Surely that's a trick question, where are the gophers x

Posted by: George.keh Jul 13 2020, 08:19 PM

it’s actually not on that tweet but I think she looks really beautiful in the shots where she’s stood outside a door

Posted by: Cameron Jul 13 2020, 08:29 PM

Honestly feels like longer than 2 years. To think Camila Cabello nearly had this!

Posted by: Tawdry Hepburn Jul 14 2020, 12:57 AM

2 years! I remember the day after it was released, me and a few friends getting pissed on prosecco in Brockwell Park and playing it from the speaker.

I still love it. It's WAY better than anything she's done since, that's for sure.

Posted by: George.keh Jul 14 2020, 12:58 AM

I agree- she hasn’t topped it since. Only Into You tops this ever for me from her

Posted by: Jade Jul 14 2020, 11:31 PM

Ariana has belatedly acknowledged this *.*
