Ariana Grande’s most recent single “7 Rings” is a BFF bop unlike “Thank U, Next” and “Imagine.”
The inspiration behind the song is when after Grande broke up with Pete Davidson she and her BFFs rolled up to Tiffany & Co. and ended up buying seven engagement rings.

“You know how when you’re waiting at Tiffany’s they give you lots of champagne?” Grande told Billboard. “They got us very tipsy, so we bought seven engagement rings, and when I got back to the studio I gave everybody a friendship ring.”
