On one song in particular, her duet with The Weeknd titled 'Off the Table,' Grande seems to sing about trying to move on and fall in love again after losing Mac Miller, her boyfriend of two and a half years who passed away from an accidental overdose in September 2018, just months after the couple had broken up.īut fans have also discovered a more subtle tribute to the late rapper hidden within the album.

When I tell you I have CHILLS.When Ariana Grande dropped her new album Positions in October, fans were quick to find references to her past loves. Still not convinced? Well, this TikTok user breaks it down even further using notes. In ‘obvious’, Grande pays homage to Miller’s song ‘Come Back to Earth’, and it is absolutely makes me sad ? #greenscreenvideo #macmiller #arianagrande #positions #swimming #fyp #maciana #foryou ♬ original sound – Sarah Okay so, there is no doubting this reference as an explicit nod to Mac Miller. Same time signature and tempo ? ♬ original sound – Sarah ‘obvious’ and ‘Come Back To Earth’

In ‘love language’ Ariana Grande says the line “I know you’re probably thinking, what’s the use?” Some people have pointed out that this is a direct reference to Miller’s song ‘What’s The Use?’ Sure it may be a reach, but both songs are also in the same time signature and tempo, and kinda sound similar as to oh absolutely! ? They are both bops. Will NEVER be able to unhear it, guaranteed ? #positions #arianagrande #macmiller #rnbvibes #ariana #fyp #fypシ ♬ positions – Ariana Grande What’s The Use?
