Grande also got personal in regard to her own struggles with anxiety and her fears following the Manchester Arena bombing in May 2017.
"Feel my blood runnin', swear the sky's fallin'/How do I know if this shit's fabricated?/Time goes by and I can't control my mind/Don't know what else to try, but you tell me every time/Just keep breathin' and breathin' and breathin' and breathin'" she sings.
"It's about anxiety," she told Fallon, describing moments when she felt like she couldn't get a full breath. "I was having lots of [anxiety attacks]."
Further, on the last track of the album, "Get Well Soon," she chronicled her inner dialogue.
"They say my system is overloaded/(Girl, what's wrong with you? Come back down)/I'm too much in my head, did you notice?/(Girl, what's wrong with you? Come back down)/My body's here on Earth, but I'm floating/(Girl, what's wrong with you? Come back down)/Disconnected, so sometimes, I feel frozen and alone," she sings as backup voices respond to her.
"This is for everybody/Babe, you gotta take care of your body/Ain't no time to deny it, that is why we talking about it/Yeah, we talking about it/So deal with it, don't try to get by it/Ain't no time to deny it/So we had to sit down and just write it," Grande continues in what sounds like a reference to her worries.
"My life is so controlled by the what if's/(Girl, what's wrong with you? Come back down)/Is there anybody else whose mind does this, mmm?"
"It's all the voices in my head talking to one another," Grande previously explained to Elle of the song.
