test drive
Ariana Grande Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Aye
Pull up, pull up on me
Aye
Might just recline the seat when I want it
Give you a set of keys 'cause you own it

Pull up, pull up on me
Aye
No second-guessing, checking the rearview
Ain't looking back unless it's right at you

Make me wanna stay through the night
I will never leave from by your side
Don't you know you got a ride or die?
Mm-mm-mm

Even when I miss you on the road
You should know I'm always in control
'Cause the one thing I already know
No, I don't feel the need to test drive nothing

Test drive nothing
Baby, I'm sold on you
So I don't ever gotta test drive nothing (oh, oh, oh)
Test drive nothing (my baby)
It's in the way you do it, I don't ever gotta, baby

I drop the top on that body
That's candy paint on my body
I'm thinking 'bout the way I feel on you

If you want, say, "I do" (I do)
I'll floor it (I'll floor it)
Just say the word, you know I'm yours (I'm yours)




Just drop a pin and don't reverse (oh)

Make me wanna stay through the night (ooh)
I will never leave from by your side (leave from by your side)
Don't you know you got a ride or die?
Mm-mm-mm

Even when I miss you on the road
You should know I'm always in control
'Cause the one thing I already know

No, I don't feel the need to test drive nothing (no, babe)
Test drive nothing
Baby, I'm sold on you
So I don't ever gotta test drive nothing
Test drive nothing
It's in the way you do it, I don't ever gotta

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to Ariana Grande's "Test Drive" are about being so committed and in love with someone that there's no need to test drive anything else. In the opening lines, she invites her significant other to pull up on her and makes it clear that she trusts them enough to give them the keys to her car. She has complete faith in their relationship and doesn't look back unless it's to look at them.


The singer goes on to say that she doesn't need to test drive anything else because she is "sold" on her partner. Even when they're apart, she's always in control of her feelings and knows that she'll always stay loyal to them. The chorus repeats the message that there's no need to look for anything else because her partner is the real deal. The lyrics are a testament to the strength of their relationship and the trust she has found in her partner.


In the bridge, Ariana talks about dropping the top on her body (perhaps a car reference?) and being willing to do anything to show her love, including saying "I do" and flooring it (presumably in the car). She assures her partner that they are hers and there's no need to reverse or second-guess anything. Overall, "Test Drive" celebrates the deep trust and love that two people can have in a committed relationship.

Official “test drive” Lyrics:

pull up, pull up on me
might recline the seat when I want it
give you a set of keys ‘cause you own it
Pull up, pull up on me
No second guessing, checking the rearview
Aint looking back unless it’s right at you

Make me wanna stay through the night
I will never leave from by your side
don’t you know you got a ride or die
Even when I miss you on the road
You should know I’m always in control
Cause the one thing I already know

No I don’t feel the need to
Test drive nothing, test drive nothing
Baby I’m sold on you so I don’t ever gotta
Test drive nothing, test drive nothing
it’s in the way you do it I don’t ever gotta babe

I drop the top on that body
That’s candy paint on my body
I’m thinkin bout the way I feel on you
If you want, say I do, I’ll floor it
Just say the word you know I’m yours
Just drop a pin and don’t reverse

Make me wanna stay through the night
I will never leave from by your side
don’t you know you got a ride or die
Even when I miss you on the road
You should know I’m always in control
Cause the one thing I already know

No I don’t feel the need to
Test drive nothing, test drive nothing
Baby I’m sold on you so I don’t ever gotta
Test drive nothing, test drive nothing
it’s in the way you do it I don’t ever gotta babe
