Ariana Grande

Lyrics

[Intro]
Back to you, back to you, back to you
Back to you, back to you, back to you
I go back to you, back to you, back to you every time

[Verse 1]
I get tired of your no-shows
You get tired of my control (Yuh)
They keep telling me to let go
But I don't really let go when I say so (Yuh, yuh)
I keep giving people blank stares (Yeah)
I'm so different when you're not there (Yuh)
It's like something out of Shakespeare
Because I'm really not here when you're not there

[Pre-Chorus]
I've tried to fight our energy
But every time I think I'm free (Yeah)

[Chorus]
You get high and call on the regular
I get weak and fall like a teenager
Why, oh why does God keep bringing me back to you?
I get drunk, pretend that I'm over it
Self-destruct, show up like an idiot
Why, oh why does God keep bringing me back to you?
[Post-Chorus]
I go back to you, back to you, back to you
Back to you, back to you, back to you
I go back to you, back to you, back to you every time

[Verse 2]
Just when I get on a new wave (Yuh)
Boy, you look at me and I slip outta my lace
They keep calling me a head-case
'Cause I can't make a good case why we can't change

[Pre-Chorus]
I've tried to fight our energy (Yee)
But every time I think I'm free (Yeah)

[Chorus]
You get high and call on the regular
I get weak and fall like a teenager
Why, oh why does God keep bringing me (Mmm) back to you?
(Back to you, baby)
I get drunk, pretend that I'm over it
Self-destruct, show up like an idiot
Why, oh why does God keep bringing me back to you?
[Post-Chorus]
I go back to you, back to you, back to you (I go back to you)
Back to you, back to you, back to you (Back to you)
I go back to you, back to you, back to you every time (I go)
I go back to you, back to you, back to you (You)
Back to you, back to you, back to you
I go back to you, back to you, back to you every time

If you're a fan of Ariana Grande, then you've definitely heard the electrifying track, "everytime." This song is all about infatuation, and how we sometimes let ourselves get sucked into toxic cycles of love, even when we know it's not good for us. The upbeat, trap-infused sound of the track only adds to the sense of reckless abandon that comes through in the lyrics. Released on August 17, 2018, as a part of Grande's fourth studio album, "Sweetener," "everytime" quickly became a fan favorite, and for good reason.

About ​everytime

So what makes "everytime" such an intriguing song? For starters, the beat is super catchy and impossible to ignore. From the start, listeners are hooked by the trap-infused sound, which is fast-paced and frenetic. The lyrics follow suit, as Ariana sings about being drawn back into a toxic relationship, repeatedly making the same mistakes even though she knows it's going to end badly.

Throughout the song, Ariana's vocals are on point. She manages to convey a feeling of desperation and longing without ever sounding whiny or over-the-top. Instead, her voice is smooth and sultry, drawing listeners into the story she is telling. The emotion in her voice is palpable, and you can really feel the ups and downs of her tumultuous relationship.

One of the things that makes "everytime" so powerful is its relatability. Everyone has been in a situation where they know they should walk away, but they can't help being drawn back in. The lyrics perfectly capture that feeling of being stuck in a cycle of toxicity, even though you know it's not good for you. Lines like "This is the part where I'm gonna get hurt" hit home for anyone who has ever been trapped in a relationship that is going nowhere.

"everytime" is also notable for its production value. The track is expertly produced, with layers of sound building on top of each other to create a truly immersive listening experience. There are moments where the instrumentation drops out entirely, leaving only Ariana's voice to carry the melody. These moments are especially powerful, as they allow listeners to focus entirely on the lyrics and the emotion behind them.

Overall, "everytime" is a standout track from "Sweetener" that showcases Ariana Grande's incredible vocal talent and songwriting abilities.
