“‘Twas a pretty rough day in nyc,” she tweeted in December. “My friends took me to Tiffany’s. We had too much champagne. I bought us all rings. It was very insane and funny.”

After one of her friends suggested the moment should be a song, Grande wrote it that afternoon.

Grande also hinted that she’ll buy whatever she wants because she’s earned her massive fortune.

“I bought a crib just for the closet. Both his and hers, I want it, I got it, yeah,” she sings.

She also references the tough year she's had: \"Been through some bad s----, I should be a sad b----. Who woulda thought it'd turn me to a savage?\"

Grande’s friends, including Courtney Chipolone, Victoria Monet, Alexa Luria, Tayla Parx, Njozma and Kaydence, are featured in the star’s music video.
