Ariana Grande sets the tone for her Eternal Sunshine album with a track that's both dramatic and deeply personal. On "Intro (End of the World)," one of the first songs Grande wrote for the album, she confronts a reality she can't quite grasp. Is this it? Is this happy ever after? Is her relationship with her husband, Dalton Gomez, the right one? These are the questions swirling around her like a dark cloud.
"Intro (End of the World)" is a string-drenched melodrama reminiscent of past Grande album openers like "Honeymoon Avenue" and "Shut Up." Think soaring violins and a soundscape that mirrors the emotional turmoil within.
Grande's question "How can I tell if I'm in the right relationship?" is later answered by "Nonna" (the pop star's maternal grandmother, Marjorie Grande) in the album's closing track, "Ordinary Things." Nonna reminds Grande that amidst life's uncertainties, it's the simple moments and everyday connections that hold the most value.
