no tears left to cry

about this song

"no tears left to cry" is the lead single from Ariana Grande's fourth studio album, Sweetener. Lyrically, the song is about optimism; according to Rolling Stone, it "celebrates rising above the world's negativity". Variety noted that the song's chorus contrastingly features Grande alternating between "lifting her voice, pleadingly, for positivity" with the lyrics "Oh, I just want you to come with me / We're on another mentality", and "rhythmically" chanting "I'm lovin', I’m livin', I'm pickin' it up" with a "nearly spoken-word" vocalization.
