This song is probably the most invested i've ever been in a Ari song, It certainly is an established pop classic :wub:

 

It is crazy that this song will be 5 years old in a matter of days!

aaaand today marks 5 years since this was released! What a wild time to be a fan.

Rolling Stone chose this as their 40th best song of the 21st century!

'thank u, next' the critical darling you are 💕

7 years since Ariana surprise dropped this song!

It was so exciting to follow its explosion in streams.

The public remain fascinated with famous exes as seen by the performance of Lily Allen's fab new album too.

This felt like such a massive moment at the time and it's probably her signature song now.

Such an important release in her career and still one of my favourites. I'm going to give the album a spin now to celebrate.
