She then opened up about how the song helped to improve her mental health: "i can’t believe how many sessions w my therapist i’ve had, how many times i’ve sung this song, how much i’ve learned and healed, how much i still have to learn and heal."

Grande couldn't stop gushing about her RIAA-certified Platinum song, adding, "it’s been one hall of a productive, emotional, wild and yet ... happy! year."

Grande then joked she still knows "s--- ab love or have a clue what a personal life looks like." She did happily state her social life revolves around her dog and pet pig, which she says is "more than enough!"
