The singer continues: ‘Baby, I made it so easy. Spent so much on therapy. With my own co-dependency. But you didn’t even try.’
Other tracks such as Bye, also give an insight into the breakdown of her marriage as she sings: ‘So I grab my stuff, Courtney just pulled up in the driveway, it’s time, bye-bye. Maybe someday we’ll look back with love.
‘Didn’t think you’d lose me. Now it’s just too late to choose me.’
She sent fans into a frenzy following the release Eternal Sunshine, as they speculated that her husband Dalton might have cheated on her.
Listeners were quick to note cryptic lyrics in the titular track may have accused her spouse of being unfaithful.
Taking to X, formerly known as Twitter, fans claimed that if Dalton was unfaithful, Ariana ‘deserves an apology’ after she faced months of accusations of being a homewrecker for her romance with Ethan Slater.
The lyrics in question were: ‘So now we play our separate scenes // Now, now she’s in my bed, layin’ on your chest // Now I’m in my head, wonderin’ how it ends.’
Fans were quick to read between the lines, and rushed to social media to claim it may mean that Dalton cheated on Ariana during their marriage.

One posted: ‘ARIANA I APOLOGISE FOR CALLING U A CHEATING HOMEWRECKER?? I WASN’T QUITE FAMILIAR WITH UR LORE?’
‘I understand why Ariana was calling her marriage a situationship since that man was turning up the TV while she was crying and refusing to fly to the UK to see her cause she was ”busy” but he was really going to clubs and cheating on her,’ a second added.
‘Ariana Grande dedicated an ENTIRE AMAZING ALBUM to you (positions) and how did you thank her? cheating on her and letting her cry at night without giving a f**k BYE BYE BOY BYE.’
‘The world was so quick to call Ariana a homewrecker when her ‘husband’ was literally cheating on her and had a whole b***h laying in HER bed… she is owed a HUGE apology’
‘Ariana was being called a homewrecker by the ENTIRE internet only for HER HUSBAND TO HAVE BEEN CHEATING ON HER??? LIKE DON’T PLAY WITH ME RN
‘All this time he was cheating on Ariana??’
MailOnline has contacted a representative for Dalton Gomez for comment.
Ariana and Dalton both filed for divorce on September 18, with documents obtained by TMZ, showing Ariana’s lawyer, Laura Wasser, had cited the reason as ‘irreconcilable differences’ with the date of separation listed as February 20, 2023.

Sources informed the outlet that all was ‘worked out’ between the former couple ‘before going to the courthouse’ and added the actress planned to ‘cut Dalton a check’ to officially dissolve the marriage.
The pair notably filed for divorce months after their listed date of separation, and an insider explained to TMZ that the reasoning was so that they could ‘iron out details and settle.’
According to the source, Ariana and Dalton have ‘no hard feelings’ and added ‘they’ve been really caring and respectful of one another every step of this process.’
The Grammy winner and the real estate agent first began dating in January 2020 and the pair became engaged in December the same year.
In May 2021, the two tied the knot during an intimate yet romantic wedding ceremony at her Montecito home, before news of their split emerged in July 2023.
Ariana has found herself under public scrutiny since July 2023, when rumors circulated about her dating Ethan, just days after news of her breakup with Dalton emerged.
To add to the scandal, Ethan had only recently ended his marriage with Lilly Jay, his high school sweetheart.

They had welcomed their first baby together in August 2022, and he filed for divorce from her in July 2023.
In the 80s’-inspired track Yes, And?, Ariana appears to clap back at the criticism, repeatedly asking, ‘Yes, and?’ she urges listeners to reflect on why they feel compelled to comment on her life.
‘Your business is yours, and mine is mine,’ the pop princess also croons, before adding, ‘Why do you care so much whose d*** I ride?’
In another line she sings, ‘Now I’m so done with caring what you think, no I won’t hide underneath your own projections or change my most authentic life.’
