Voodoo Love
Ariana Grande Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I'm gonna mix a potion up,
make a special drink for you,
mmmm hmmm...
Just a little sip and you're never gonna know what hit you,
Yeah,
When I'm through,
Aww yeah
Now I'm not talkin' bout movies,
don't need no happy end,
I just wanna make you love me,
and stay through thick and thin,
I'm just gonna use some magic,
might feel a little drunk,
and if you try to leave me,
I'll lock you in the trunk.

I'm gonna witch you and stick a pin right in you,
my voodoo's so addicting.
Three silver spoons of brandy wine,
just a frog and a little thyme and,
baby you'll be mine,
with my voodoo love,
Aw yeah,
with my voodoo love,
Aw yeh.

Boy I really knew you were the one,
the moment that i saw your eyes,
,mm hmmm,
strong and wise and sweet and quiet,
yeah you're just my type,
mmm hmmm...




Now I'm not talkin' bout movies,
don't need no happy end,
I just wanna make you love me,
and be my shiny prince,
I'm just gonna use some magic,
might feel a little high,
but we'll be so enchanted,
And you'll feel so alive.

I'm gonna witch you and stick a pin right in you,
my voodoo's so addicting,
three silver spoons of brandy wine,
just a frog and a little thyme and,
baby you'll be mine,
with my voodoo love,
aw yeah,
with my voodoo love,
Aw yeah.

I always get,
just what I want,
and boy, I really want you now,
so just say yes,
can't second guess the power of my voodoo love.

I'm gonna witch you and stick a pin right in you,
my voodoo's so addicting,
three silver spoons of brandy wine,
just a frog and a little thyme and,
baby you'll be mine,
with my voodoo love,
aw yeah,
with my voodoo love,
aw yeah.

I'm gonna witch you and stick a pin right in you,
my voodoo's so addicting,
three silver spoons of brandy wine,
just a frog and a little thyme and,
baby you'll be mine,
with my voodoo love,
aw yeah,
with my voodoo love,

Overall Meaning

In Voodoo Love, Ariana Grande sings about using dark magic to make someone fall in love with her. She starts by mixing a potion that will make the person feel drunk and unaware of what is happening to them. She then goes on to explain that she is not interested in a happy ending like in movies, but rather wants the person to be with her through thick and thin. She uses phrases like "just my type" and "shiny prince" to show her strong feelings for this person. She believes that her voodoo love is so addicting that the person will be unable to resist her.


However, there is a sense of warning in the song. Ariana mentions that if the person tries to leave her, she will "lock [them] in the trunk." She also repeatedly sings about sticking a pin in the person, which could be interpreted as a metaphor for causing them physical or emotional pain. This could be seen as a commentary on unhealthy relationships where one person uses manipulative tactics to keep the other person around.


Voodoo Love shows Ariana's ability to create a catchy pop song with an underlying theme that is darker than what is being portrayed on the surface. She often incorporates this kind of dual meaning into her music, which is one of the reasons she has become such a beloved pop icon.

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
