We Can't Be Friends (Wait for Your Love) by Ariana Grande

About

“we can’t be friends (wait for your love)” marks the second single for Ariana Grande’s seventh studio album, eternal sunshine. The Europop-infused anthem traverses waves of emotion that come with a forbidden relationship and unrequited love. Accompanied by the single came a music video, taking the form of a short film heavily inspired by the film Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind. Cumulatively, the song, while upbeat, touches on the downhearted aspects of a romantic relationship while acknowledging the idea of blissful ignorance.
