The song contains many allusions to the Law of Attraction, a philosophy that states, through enough energy and attention, the universe can manifest a person’s thoughts whether they’re positive or negative.
The belief stems from the idea that "like attracts like" – negative thoughts will manifest negative energy towards you, and similarly, positive thoughts will manifest positive energy. Throughout "Just Like Magic", Ariana focuses on embodying and maintaining a positive and forward-looking future.

Wake up in my bed
I just wanna have a good day
Think it in my head
Then it happens how it should, ayy
Twelve o'clock, I got a team meeting
Then a meditation at like one thirty
Listenin' to some shit I wrote
Good karma, my aesthetic (aesthetic)
Keep my conscience clear, that's why I'm so magnetic
Manifest it (yeah), I finessed it (I finessed it)
Take my pen and write some love letters to heaven
Just like magic (baby)
Just like magic (oh, yeah)
Middle finger to my thumb and then I snap it
Just like magic (yeah)
I'm attractive (oh, yeah)
I get everything I want 'cause I attract it (oh)
Say, lookin' at my phone
But I'm tryna disconnect it (oh, yeah)
Read a fuckin' book
I be tryna stay connected (yeah)
Say it's tricky at the top
Gotta keep a slim ego for a thick wallet
Losing friends left and right
But I just send 'em love and light (oh, whoa)
Good karma, my aesthetic (my aesthetic)
Keep my conscience clear, that's why I'm so magnetic
Manifest it (ooh), I finessed it (ooh)
Take my pen and write some love letters to heaven
Just like magic
Just like magic
Middle finger to my thumb and then I snap it, ayy
Just like magic
I'm attractive
I get everything I want 'cause I attract it
Say, I don't wanna waste your time on some dumb shit
Password to your phone, you can miss me with that shit
Redesign your brain, we gon' make some new habits
Just like magic (just like magic)
Just like magic
Just like magic (baby)
Just like magic (oh)
Middle finger to my thumb and then I snap it
Just like magic (oh)
I'm attractive (uh)
I get everything I want 'cause I attract it
('Cause I attract it, babe)
(Mm, mm)
(Mm, babe, yeah, mm)
