Ariana Grande believes she’s been cheated on in the past and the experience has inspired her new track ‘Break Your Heart Right Back.’
The 21-year-old singer – who has dated The Wanted’s Nathan Sykes and Jai Brooks in the past – is “99.9 percent” sure a former flame was once unfaithful behind her back and the experience has inspired her new song ‘Break Your Heart Right Back.’
She told Attitude magazine of the track: “It’s about a boy who cheats on a girl with another boy. That’s a very fun concept. Well, originally it was going to be about a boy who cheats with a girl, but then I was like, ‘No, I want it to be about a boy who cheats on a girl with another boy.’ ”
She added to the Metro newspaper: “It’s one of my favourites on the album [‘My Everything’] and it’s really funny because I believe it has happened to me. I’m not 100 percent positive, but I’m 99.9 percent positive. I would rather he cheats on me with a guy than with a girl any day! If I found out my boyfriend was gay, I would be like ‘OK!’ I’d be so relieved.”However, the ‘Problem” hitmaker has since taken to her Twitter account to claim the track doesn’t necessarily refer to an ex-boyfriend, but is something she’s experienced a “long time ago.”
She tweeted: “People loooove twisting my words lol. I never said “my ex”. so don’t trip. It was a a looooong time ago…. and it made for a great song. (sic).”
The singer also admits she often feels “overwhelmed” by her success, but hopes to be in the music industry for the rest of her life.
She told PEOPLE magazine: “There is so much attention on me that there wasn’t before. I’ve been so overwhelmed. But I would love to never stop. I love going to the beach really late at night. That is how I make sure I don’t explode.”
Ariana, who is rumoured to be dating Big Sean after splitting from Jai Brooks, started practicing Kabbalah at an early age after being introduced to it by her brother, Frankie, and credits it for helping her to stay grounded.
She said: “I know it has become a ‘thing,’ but I’ve been doing it since I was 12. I love learning about the universe and how small we are in the scheme of things. It takes me out of my constant schedule of me, me, me.”
