pete davidson

Ariana Grande first met Pete Davidson in March 2016 when she hosted an episode of Saturday Night Live in which he was a cast member. She was immediately attracted to the comedian and even joked to her tour manager that she was going to marry him. However, the pair didn't start dating until May 2018, shortly after the singer had finished her previous relationship with Mac Miller. They quickly got engaged the following month and this short ballad is a very public declaration of love for her fiancé.

Grande wrote the ballad a week after the couple started dating and then sent it to Pete. It begins with the singer recalling how the relationship was actualized by her and how it was meant to be. Mmm, yeah, yuh I thought you into my life, woah Look in my mind, yeah No better place or a time Look how they align The second half of the song finds Grande repeating just how happy she is now she's found her soulmate.

A week or two before the release of Sweetener, Grande changed the track's title from "Pete" to "Pete Davidson." She explained her thought process on Twitter: "I like the way it looks. I love his name and I love him. Music lasts forever. It'll outlive any tattoo, any memory, any anything - even myself; so I want my love for him and how I feel to be a part of that."
