Ariana Grande delves into the deeper meaning behind her song ‘True Tale’ and its significance explained.
Ariana Grande opens up about reshaping her narrative through the lyrics of ‘True Tale’ and understanding the core message of the song.
Facing public scrutiny recently, Ariana Grande’s personal life has been under the spotlight, with her divorce last year and subsequent relationship with Ethan Slater, her co-star in ‘Wicked’. According to a report by Page Six, despite starting their romance when both were single, they received backlash due to their marital statuses when they first met.
In her latest album ‘Eternal Sunshine’, Ariana directly confronts the criticism and rumors, especially in the candid ‘True Tale’ lyrics.
During a conversation with Zane Lowe on Apple Music, Ariana explained the connection between ‘True Tale’ and ‘The Boy Is Mine’: “It’s a fictional story created around made-up events, setting the stage for ‘The Boy Is Mine’. It’s like saying, ‘I’ll take on the role of the antagonist, here’s your antagonist anthem’.”
In a video shared on Instagram before the release of Eternal Sunshine, Ariana discusses the vulnerability and performance aspects of the songs that meet people’s expectations of her.
Acknowledging that she cannot control how others perceive her and humorously addressing it? Truly remarkable, if you ask me.

This is a genuine account of all the falsehoods
You fantasized (Fantasized) about you and me
This is a genuine account of all the roles

No, this isn’t my necessity (Give me love, love, give me love)
Not my longing (Give me love, love, give me love)

Ah-love, give me love, give me love, love
Love, love, ah-love
