The song rights were later sold to the Korean girl group F(x), who published it under the title No More on their album Pink Tape. The lyrics where not only changed to Korean but the whole meaning of the song changed as well, the F(x) version of the song speaks about the thoughts of a girl who apparently tired of her βfox-likeβ friendβs continuous on-and-off relationship with boyfriends, she taunts her about these shifting moods and false promises. This is unlike Ariana Grande's version, who speaks about her love interest.

Trying to find the right boy to wear on my arm
I must admit it
You simply fit it
