In the song, Marjorie shares heartfelt reflections on love and marriage, adding a personal and emotional depth to the lyrics.
Recently, in an interview the Thank U, Next hitmaker revealed that she drew inspiration from a voice note of her grandmother's conversation with a friend to give the song its heartfelt closure.
She said, “I knew ‘ordinary things’ was the end of the album,” Ariana said. “I was like, ‘This is the last song, but I wonder how I can put that button on it and have it land emotionally the way that I feel it can, and how can I answer the question?”
“I always record my Nonna because you never know what she’s going to say,” she added.
