After weeks of teasing the track to her fans on social media, the singer released the song on Friday, along with its official music video.
Grande oozes glamour throughout the video, rocking everything from a bedazzled bodysuit to a fur coat to a sexy pink bralette. It also features seven of her closest friends -- Victoria Monet, Courtney Chipolone, Alexa Luria, Rim Taya Shawki, Tayla Parx and Njomza -- all donning matching rings.
The song opens with an reimagining of The Sound of Music's iconic "My Favorite Things," with a modernized twist.
Meanwhile some of the lyrics seem to relate to some of Grande's recent headline-grabbing private life drama -- especially with lines like, "Been through some bad s**t, I should be a sad b**ch/ Who woulda thought it'd turn me into a savage?" and the particularly timely lyrics, "Wearing a ring but ain't gonna be no missus/ bought matching diamonds for six of my b**ches/ I'd rather spoil all my friends with my riches/ Think retail therapy's my new addiction."
Even the seemingly materialistic chorus, "I see it, I like it, I want it, I got it," gives the impression that there's more to the lavish visuals and opulent imagery than fans might appreciate upon first viewing.
