Off the Table Lyrics

Cover art for Off the Table lyrics by Ariana Grande

This standout song off Ariana's latest album titled 'Positions' was produced by Mr. Franks, Shintaro Yasuda, Travis Sayles & TBHits. The track was released on October 30, 2020.

What the artist means Ariana is taking nothing for granted on this record with the heartbreak icon Weeknd. She's crooning about a breakup that left her super depressed because the dude is just so hard to replace, she's super hurt and lets us know on this record, she's using autotune expertly here to convey her hurt. Weeknd steps in and sing so tragically about a love tale gone wrong, he tried to help her through the phase but that ended up with her ending things with him. Now he's hunted by the hills, even though he couldn't give her his all, he's sad that she left him in the lurch. Ariana is crooning in the background about not being properly healed all through the process, she wants his memories to get out of her head but it's so dang hard. Weeknd knows this and he's crooning with equal pain as if he's drinking from the same stream of heartbreak as Ariana.

What the song means to me The song is the quintessential break-up track that sees both artists swap tales of love stories gone astray and they are cringing with the residue pain. Ariana gives one of her best vocal performances for ages but even that couldn't know Abel off his perch as his falsetto owned the track. This track reminds me of so much unfinished business and I'm oddly feeling the hurt that both artists are singing about. The track is that powerful. I will give this song a rating of 8/10.
