thank u next
Anitta Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Thought I'd end up with Sean
But he wasn't a match
Wrote some songs about Ricky
Now I listen and laugh
Even almost got married
And for Pete, I'm so thankful
Wish I could say, "Thank you" to Malcolm
'Cause he was an angel

One taught me love
One taught me patience
And one taught me pain
Now, I'm so amazing
I've loved and I've lost
But that's not what I see
So, look what I got
Look what you taught me
And for that, I say

Thank you, next (next)
Thank you, next (next)
Thank you, next
I'm so fuckin' grateful for my ex
Thank you, next (next)
Thank you, next (next)
Thank you, next (next)
I'm so fuckin'

Spend more time with my friends
I ain't worried 'bout nothin'
Plus, I met someone else
We havin' better discussions
I know they say I move on too fast
But this one gon' last
'Cause her name is Ari
And I'm so good with that (so good with that)

She taught me love (love)
She taught me patience (patience)
How she handles pain (pain)
That shit's amazing (yeah, she's amazing)
I've loved and I've lost (yeah, yeah)
But that's not what I see (yeah, yeah)
'Cause look what I've found (yeah, yeah)
Ain't no need for searching, and for that, I say

Thank you, next (thank you, next)
Thank you, next (thank you, next)
Thank you, next (thank you)
I'm so fuckin' grateful for my ex
Thank you, next (thank you, next)
Thank you, next (said thank you, next)
Thank you, next (next)
I'm so fuckin' grateful for my ex

Thank you, next
Thank you, next
Thank you, next
I'm so fucking

One day I'll walk down the aisle
Holding hands with my mama
I'll be thanking my dad
'Cause she grew from the drama
Only wanna do it once, real bad
Gon' make that shit last
God forbid something happens
Least this song is a smash (song is a smash)

I've got so much love (love)
Got so much patience (patience)
I've learned from the pain (pain)
I turned out amazing (turned out amazing)
I've loved and I've lost (yeah, yeah)
But that's not what I see (yeah, yeah)
'Cause look what I've found (yeah, yeah)
Ain't no need for searching
And for that, I'll say

Thank you, next (thank you, next)
Thank you, next (thank you, next)
Thank you, next
I'm so fuckin' grateful for my ex
Thank you, next (thank you, next)

Overall Meaning

In "thank u, next", Anitta pays homage to her exes while claiming her independence from the pain and struggles that each of them caused her. The song is a tribute to the growth and maturity that comes with ending relationships and moving on. She starts by mentioning Sean, but it didn't work out, and then Ricky, whom she wrote songs about but now listens to and laughs about. She also mentions that she almost got married and is thankful for Pete. However, she's unable to thank Malcolm, whom she refers to as an angel, indicating that he may have passed away.


Anitta then looks at the lessons she learns from her exes, with one teaching her love, another teaching her patience, and another teaching her pain. She's overcome those obstacles and emerges stronger than before, with Ari being the latest love of her life. Anitta isn't moving on too fast, and she's confident it will last, indicating that she's learned from her past relationships. The singer has found what she was searching for and learned to embrace her independence, as expressed in the song's refrain: "Thank you, next."


The song is a reflection of Anitta's life and relationships, but it's also relatable, as many other people can see themselves in the lyrics. The song is empowering and uplifting, emphasizing the importance of self-love and acceptance.
