“I’m literally crying, knowing this is based off of eternal sunshine of a spotless mind makes me so emotional, ariana grande hope you’re living your best life, you fully deserve it,” gushed another.

Recently, Ariana Grande spoke out about her previous song ‘Fantasize’ leaking online and threatened jail time for those “crooks” for sharing it. With a remake of Brandy and Monica’s ‘The Boy is Mine’ on the album, the singer reclaims ‘Fantasize’ as her own in a way. “This is, I think, an elevated version of that,” she said of the song.
