Break Your Heart Right Back
Ariana Grande Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I shoulda saw the signs
But I wanted to believe you, trust you
You said you wouldn't lie
But baby you were so good, so good
You had me goin' blind
You said it was your best friend, I'm guessing
I wasn't your type, hey!
What goes around comes around
And if it goes up, it comes down
I know you mad 'cause I found out
Want you to feel what I feel right now
Now that it's over
I just wanna break your heart right back
Right back
Want you to cry me a river
I just want to break your heart right back
Hey, all this time, I was blind running 'round telling everybody
My baby loves me
My baby loves me
My baby
My baby
My baby loves me
You said I was your best, would be your last
Now he's gone, you're alone
Don't want you back
You're tellin' me you're sorry
Well sorry, my friend
'Cause I've already been there done that
Ain't doin' this again
No
What goes around comes around
And if it goes up, it comes down
I know you mad 'cause I found out
Want you to feel what I feel right now
Now that it's over
I just wanna break your heart right back
Right back
Want you to cry me a river
I just want to break your heart right back
Hey, all this time, I was blind running 'round telling everybody
My baby loves me
My baby loves me
My baby
My baby
My baby loves me
My baby loves me
My baby loves me
My baby
My baby
My baby loves me
Listen, you got a man but your man ain't loyal
Don't understand how to spell it out for ya
Yes I'm G, from the A, and they ask why
Sorry had to tell you, I'm a nice guy
Naw, I'm a sick guy, money too much
I step on stage and girls move too much
The flow so gross, my nickname school lunch
And he with them other guys, you know it's true 'cause
G-A-M-B-I-N-O
I know they hate but I don't know why, uh
I know the way he did you was whack
But I know how you can get dude right back
Now that it's over
I just wanna break your heart right back
Right back
Want you to cry me a river
I just want to break your heart right back
Hey, all this time, I was blind running 'round telling everybody
My baby loves me
My baby loves me
My baby
My baby
My baby loves me
My baby loves me
My baby loves me
My baby
My baby
My baby loves me
Ooh, yeah
Runnin' 'round town tellin' everybody
Ooh, yeah
Runnin' 'round town tellin' everybody
Ooh, yeah
Runnin' 'round town tellin' everybody
Ooh, yeah
Runnin' 'round town tellin' everybody
I'm comin' out
He's comin'
I'm comin' out
The lyrics of Ariana Grande's "Break Your Heart Right Back" tell a story of betrayal in a relationship. The singer realizes that her partner has been unfaithful to her with his best friend, and she feels dumbfounded by the discovery. She expresses her anger and frustration with lines like "I should've seen it coming" and "Now that it's over, I just wanna break your heart right back." She wants him to feel the same pain that she felt when she discovered his infidelity. In the end, the singer realizes that she is better off without him and finds the courage to move on.
The song's lyrics are relatable to anyone who has ever been betrayed in a relationship, and Ariana Grande brings a soulful, emotional element to it with her powerful vocals. The song also features a rap verse from Childish Gambino, who adds a new dimension to the track.
Line by Line Meaning
I shoulda saw it comin'
I should have seen what was going to happen in the future
I shoulda saw the signs
I should have noticed the signals that indicated what was going to happen
But I wanted to believe you, trust you
Despite the signs, I wished to put my faith in you
You said you wouldn't lie
You assured me that you were honest
But baby you were so good, so good
You were very convincing
You had me goin' blind
You had me completely fooled
You said it was your best friend, I'm guessing
I am inferring that you mentioned it was your close friend
I wasn't your type, hey!
You made it apparent that you were not interested in someone like me
What goes around comes around
Karma is ruthless
And if it goes up, it comes down
Whatever rises must eventually fall
I know you mad 'cause I found out
You are angry because I uncovered your secret
Want you to feel what I feel right now
I desire you to empathize with my current emotions
Now that it's over
Our relationship has reached its conclusion
I just wanna break your heart right back
I aspire to hurt you in the same manner that you hurt me
Want you to cry me a river
I wish for you to shed an abundance of tears over our situation
Hey, all this time, I was blind running 'round telling everybody
Previously, I was unaware and told everyone about our happy relationship
My baby loves me
I thought you loved me
You said I was your best, would be your last
You claimed that I was your greatest love
Now he's gone, you're alone
Since he has departed from you, you are now by yourself
Don't want you back
I do not desire to have you back in my life
You're tellin' me you're sorry
You have apologized to me
Well sorry, my friend
Unfortunately, it is too late
'Cause I've already been there done that
I have already experienced this once before
Ain't doin' this again
I am unwilling to do this again
Listen, you got a man but your man ain't loyal
Your partner is unfaithful
Don't understand how to spell it out for ya
I do not know how else to communicate this information to you
Yes I'm G, from the A, and they ask why
I am G from Atlanta, but they ask me why
Sorry had to tell you, I'm a nice guy
Apologies, but I needed to inform you that I am a kind person
Naw, I'm a sick guy, money too much
Actually, I am an impressive individual with an excess of wealth
I step on stage and girls move too much
When I perform on stage, girls become overly excited
The flow so gross, my nickname school lunch
My flow is so disgusting that people refer to me as school lunch
And he with them other guys, you know it's true 'cause
And he is with other men, as you well know
G-A-M-B-I-N-O
My name is Gambino
I know they hate but I don't know why, uh
I acknowledge people's animosity towards me, but do not understand the reason
I know the way he did you was whack
I am familiar with the way he mistreated you
But I know how you can get dude right back
However, I can inform you how you can take revenge on him
Ooh, yeah
Runnin' 'round town tellin' everybody
Oh yeah, I am out and about, informing the world
I'm comin' out
He's comin'
I'm comin' out
I am revealing myself, he is also revealing himself, I am coming out

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
