So it's been over a year since my personal hero, Ariana Grande, released Dangerous Woman, and I just want to take a moment to recognize "Into You" because it HIGH-KEY DESERVED BETTER.
Okay, so it's not like "Into You" got absolutely no recognition. It spent 24 weeks on the Billboard charts and hit its peak at number 13.
BUT the real tragedy here is that it didn't do better on the charts, especially given how IT'S A STRAIGHT-UP BOP. (And, like, 100% better than "Side to Side.")
And if you think I'm over-exaggerating, BUCKLE TF UP because I'm here to prove you wrong.
Let's start off by talking about her insane vocal range through the whole song. She literally jumps from using her lower register...
...to belting some of the highest notes (and whistle tones) during the chorus.
And let's be honest, none of us could hit those notes even if we TRIED.
On to the beat, which is fierce enough to make anyone fully transform into the best version of themselves...
...or be an actual hazard.
AND DON'T EVEN GET ME STARTED ON THOSE LYRICS.
"A little less conversation and a little more touch my body" is possibly the BEST COME-ON EVER.
AND AFTER ALL THAT, THERE'S THE HOLY GRAIL: THE MUSIC VIDEO.

ARIANA IS LITERALLY RIDING AROUND THE DESERT ON A MOTORCYCLE, PLAYING AROUND IN A LIL' ROADSIDE MOTEL, AND LOOKIN' ALL HOT FOR 4 MINUTES AND 14 SECONDS.
Oh, and let's not forget that Don Benjamin is a TOTAL BABE.
AND THEN THERE'S THE STORYLINE!!!
Basically, "Into You" is the underrated gift from both God and Ariana that none of us deserved.
Thank you, Ari.
