shut up
Ariana Grande Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Diamonds good for my appetite
Guess it fuckin' just clicked one night
All them demons helped me see shit differently
So don't be sad for me
How you been spending your time? (How?)
How you be using your tongue? (How?)
You be so worried 'bout mine? (Hi)
Can't even get yourself mine
You know you sound so dumb (so dumb, so dumb)
You know you sound so dumb (so dumb)
So maybe you should shut up
Hmm, and maybe you should shut up
Said if only you would shut up (ooh)
Yeah, that's right, you should shut up
I vibrate high, and my circle lit
We ain't really with drugs and shit
Love the game, so I never miss
Keep opinions muted for the hell of it
'Cause I like my shit (mm-mm, yep)
How you been spending your time? (How?)
How you be using your tongue? (How?)
You be so worried 'bout mine? (Hi)
Can't even get yourself mine
You know you sound so dumb (so dumb, so dumb)
You know you sound so dumb (so dumb)
So maybe you should shut up
Hmm, and maybe you should shut up
Said if only you would shut up
Yeah, that's right, you should shut up
In the song "Shut Up", Ariana Grande shows her strength and confidence in who she is and what she stands for. She describes her presence as sweet and her aura as bright, implying that she radiates positivity and attracts good energy. She also mentions that diamonds are good for her appetite, which could be interpreted in different ways, but may be a reference to her success and wealth providing her with the ability to indulge in luxurious things.
Ariana then talks about how she had an epiphany and saw things differently thanks to the demons in her life. This can be seen as a reference to the hardships she has faced in the past, including the Manchester bombing at her concert and the death of her ex-boyfriend Mac Miller. Despite the difficulties, she has managed to overcome them and move forward in a positive way. She tells others not to feel sad for her, as she has learned and grown from her experiences.
The chorus repeats the phrase "maybe you should shut up" multiple times, which can be interpreted in different ways. It can be seen as a response to critics or people who try to bring her down, telling them to stop talking and let her be. It can also be seen as a reminder to herself to ignore negativity and focus on her own goals and happiness.
The second verse reinforces Ariana's positive energy by saying that she and her circle don't need drugs to have a good time. She loves the game she's in, which can be interpreted as the music industry, and never misses a beat. She keeps her opinions to herself, not because she is afraid to speak up, but because she chooses not to engage in negativity. Finally, she declares that she likes her own "shit", implying that she is proud of her work and who she is as a person.
Overall, "Shut Up" is a song that speaks to the importance of self-confidence, positivity, and not letting negativity bring you down. It is a reminder to focus on your own journey and not let the opinions of others hold you back.

on Love Me Harder
Tell me something I need to know
Then take my breath and never let it go
If you just let me invade your space
I'll take the pleasure, take it with the pain
And if in the moment, I bite my lip
Baby, in that moment, you'll know this is
Something bigger than us and beyond bliss
Give me a reason to believe it
'Cause if you want to keep me
You gotta, gotta, gotta, gotta
Got to love me harder
And if you really need me
You gotta, gotta, gotta, gotta
Got to love me harder
(Lo-love me harder)
Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh
Love me, love me, love me
Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh
Harder, harder, harder
I know your motives and you know mine
The ones that love me, I tend to leave behind
If you know about me and choose to stay
Then take this pleasure and take it with the pain
And if in the moment you bite your lip
When I get you moaning, you know it's real
Can you feel the pressure between your hips?
I'll make it feel like the first time
'Cause if you want to keep me
You gotta, gotta, gotta, gotta
Got to love me harder
(I'ma love you harder)
And if you really need me
You gotta, gotta, gotta, gotta
Got to love me harder (love me, baby, love me)
(Lo-love me harder)
Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh
Love me, love me, love me
Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh
Harder, harder, harder (oh)
Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh
Love me, love me, love me
Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh
Harder, harder, harder (you gotta love me harder)
So what do I do if I can't figure it out? (Figure it out)
You got to try, try, try again, yeah (whoa)
So what do I do if I can't figure it out? (Figure it out)
I'm gonna leave, leave, leave again
'Cause if you want to keep me
You gotta, gotta, gotta, gotta
Got to love me harder
(I'ma love you, love you, love)
And if you really need me
You gotta, gotta, gotta, gotta
Got to love me harder
(Got to love me, baby)
'Cause if you want to keep me
You gotta, gotta, gotta, gotta
Got to love me harder
(Love me harder)
And if you really need me
You gotta, gotta, gotta, gotta (I'ma do it, do it, do it)
Got to love me harder
(I'ma love you harder, hey)
Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh
Love me, love me, love me (love me)
Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh
Harder, harder, harder
(Boy, you gotta love me, love me, baby)
Love me, love me, love me
(Just a little bit harder, harder, baby)
Harder, harder, harder
