Ariana Grande's Slinking All Over a Bad Influence in 'Dangerous Woman'

Or maybe it sounds that way because, as Idolator points out, it comes off like a counterpart to The Weeknd’s own Fifty Shades joint, “Earned It,” or at least a reasonable response to his assertion that you deserve it. She’s like “I know,” and further trots out Ariana Grande the Badass, a side to her she’s been leaning into for the last two years or so as she’s truly molted her Nickelodeon beginnings and charged into adult womanhood. It’s cool to hear, and as ever she’s got some of the strongest pipes in the business, but here is measured, doesn’t Aguilera-out with the melisma.

But what could it be about the dude that makes her feel like a “dangerous woman,” you ask? Two suggestions from my dumb boyfriend:

1. He’s smoking bogies

2. He owns two cell phones

Which is perfect because my own boyfriend makes me feel like a different kind of dangerous woman when he makes fun of music that I like! It all evens out in the end.
