Grande Ariana Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
After laughter comes tears
Another night, another party, sayin' hi to everybody
I'm sorry, it's time to leave, I gotta leave now
Got somewhere I gotta be now, I'm starving
Can somebody walk me to my car?
If I go alone, I'm not gon' make it very far
If I'm being honest
I done been through way too much
I can't fake another smile
I can't fake like I'm alright
Ooh, ah (ooh, ah)
And I won't say I'm feeling fine
After what I been through, I can't lie
Ooh, ah (ooh, ah)
Fuck a fake smile, smile
Fuck a fake smile, fake smile
I read the things they write about me
Hear what they're saying on the TV, it's crazy
It's getting hard for them to shock me
But every now and then
It's shocking, don't blame me
I know it's the life that I chose
But baby, I'm grateful, I want you to know
I'm happy for the love and all of the above
If I'm being honest
I done been through way too much
I can't fake another smile
I can't fake like I'm alright
Ooh, ah (ooh, ah)
And I won't say I'm feeling fine
After what I been through, I can't lie
Ooh, ah (ooh, ah)
Fuck a fake smile, smile
Fuck a fake smile, fake smile
If I'm hurt, I ain't gon' lie about it
Arms crossed with the attitude, lips pouted
If I'm mad, I ain't gon' lie about it
Neck roll with the attitude, yeah
If I'm hurt, I ain't gon' lie about it
Arms crossed with the attitude, lips pouted
If I'm mad, I ain't gon' lie about it
Neck roll with the attitude, yeah
And I can't fake another smile (and I can't fake)
And I can't fake like I'm alright (no smile)
Ooh, ah (ooh, ah, ooh)
And I won't say I'm feeling fine (I'm feeling fine)
After what I been through, I can't lie
Ooh, ah (ooh, ah)
Fuck a fake smile, smile
Fuck a fake smile, fake smile (yeah)
Ariana Grande's song "fake smile" is about the struggles of fame and the pressure to always present a happy facade. The lyrics describe Ariana at a party, saying goodbye to everyone and asking for someone to walk her to her car. She expresses gratitude for her fans and the love she receives but admits that she has been through too much to fake another smile. She talks about the difficulties of dealing with media attention and the constant scrutiny of her personal life. The chorus repeats the phrase “fuck a fake smile” emphasizing her need to be authentic and genuine, even if it means showing her true emotions.
The title of the song itself, “fake smile,” is a paradox where a smile, usually seen as a symbol of happiness and positivity, is now fake and phony. The lyrics in the verses depict Grande as someone exhausted by the facade of being a famous public figure, while the chorus expresses her unwillingness to pretend to be fine.
In conclusion, “fake smile” is a reminder that celebrities have feelings and emotions like everyone else, and they undergo tremendous pressure and burdens to maintain a cheerful appearance. Ariana is honest about how hard it is for her to always be in the public eye, which creates anxiety and stress. She is ultimately telling us that we should pay attention to how people act, even if they are smiling, as it could be misleading.

Imagine:
Having so many loving fans (who most of them never experienced your concert and have been waiting for so long) and your about to perform for them.
Right then and there, your singing a fan favorite song. But all of a sudden, you hear a bomb. Everyone starts running and screaming.
You are amazingly grateful to make it out alive. But not everyone made it. There where 22 dead and hundreds more badly injured.
You have all this pressure on you. You feel like it's your fault (although you know it's not) and your so overwhelmed. And to top that off your grandpa dies from cancer? This is very hard on someone especially after a big incident like the Manchester Bombing.
You still have your ex-boyfriend to love and help you. But then right when all of this is happening your boyfriend is announced to have a drug overdose. Suddenly, he dies.
You still have to put on a fake smile and perform for your fans and smile for the paparrazi and look happy all the time.
The message of this song is to tell people how you feel and don't be afraid to express how you really feel. 😘🖤🙏
