the feel of the song is one thing, but the way she imbues her voice with character and EXACTLY the right vibe for it is something else. i fucking love it.
Lyrics here less about salvaging a relationship than an unfashionable sound (and one Grande has sadly abandoned in 2014). Chicago's bright lights invoked by the very first "baa-baa" and the 90s Mariah melisma bursting through the traffic, the pressure, to find a way back home.
