Uh
How can I tell if I’m in the right relationship?
Aren’t you really supposed to know that shit?
Feel it in your bones and own that shit
I don’t know
Then I had this interaction I’ve been thinking ’bout for like five weeks
Wonder if he’s thinking ’bout it too and smiling
Wonder if he knows that that’s been what’s inspiring me
Wonder if he’s judging me like I am right now
I don’t care
I’d rather tell the truth (truth)
Than make it worse for you, mmm (you)
If the sun refused to shine
Baby, would I still be your lover?
Would you want me there?
If the moon went dark tonight
And if it all ended tomorrow
Would I be the one on your mind, your mind, your mind?
And if it all ended tomorrow
Would you be the one on mine?
Exploring Uncertainty and Vulnerability in Love
In “intro (end of the world),” Ariana Grande opens her album with an intimate reflection on love, self-doubt, and vulnerability. The lyrics capture the uncertainty of whether one is truly in the right relationship, portraying a relatable internal monologue. Grande questions her instincts, wonders about mutual feelings, and contemplates the authenticity of her emotions. The track uses the metaphor of the world’s end to ask: when everything falls away, who truly matters? Through raw confessions and honest questions, Ariana invites listeners to consider the depth and resilience of their own connections.
