Thank U, Next (song)

"Thank U, Next" is a song by American singer-songwriter Ariana Grande. It was surprise-released on November 3, 2018, by Republic Records as the lead single from her fifth studio album of the same name (2019). Written by Grande, Tayla Parx and Victoria Monét, and produced by Tommy Brown, Charles Anderson, and Michael Foster, "Thank U, Next" is a celebratory ode to Grande's failed relationships, following the highly publicized breakup with her then-fiancé Pete Davidson. Considered a modern cultural phenomenon, the song's title and its lyrics spawned several catch phrases and online memes.
