Chances are you"ll recognize "7 Rings" by Ariana Grande even if you"ve never heard it before. The second single off Grande"s 2019 album Thank U, Next , "7 Rings" borrows a melody from one of the most iconic songs ever: "My Favorite Things" from The Sound of Music.Though the 26-year-old superstar identifies some her favorite things in the song, those items are way shinier (and more expensive) than the "raindrops on roses" and "whiskers on kittens" Fraulein Maria (Julia Andrews) names in the 1965 The Sound of Music. With its descriptions of jewelry và shopping sprees, "7 Things" is a song about looking good—and feeling good as a result.
The hip hop-inspired tuy nhiên draws from a personal and extremely public time in Grande"s life: The aftermath of her breakup with SNL comedian Pete Davidson. Only a few weeks after first being linked in May 2018, Grande sported a $93,000 pear-shaped engagement ring. By October 2018, the couple had called off their engagement (and Grande returned her ring).
