Ariana Grande dropped her first album, "Yours Truly," in 2013, and ever since then, this powerhouse vocalist has grown up before our eyes, changing her musical style and lyrics to fit her evolution as a woman (or a "Dangerous Woman," if you will). And her desire for constant transformation means there's a track in this superstar's discography that everyone can relate to. Whether you're a fierce Leo who loves the spotlight or a classic, worrisome Virgo who needs a reminder to stay positive, there's more than enough variety for each zodiac to find a Grande song that truly represents them.
No topic is off limits in this actor and pop star's music, either. From empowering and fun girl power singles to Grande's more demure songs that explore grief and loss, she's never been afraid to express herself through her music, which is fitting seeing as Grande has gotten real about her mental health on multiple occasions. Speaking about the tracks on "Sweetener" to The Fader, the "Wicked" actor explained of her musical evolution, "I've always just been like a shiny, singing, 5-6-7-8, sexy-dance... sexy thing. But now it's like, 'OK ... issa bop — but issa message. Issa bop but also has chunks of my soul in it." She added, "I've never been this vulnerable to myself. I feel like I graduated almost. I feel like for a long time the songs were great, but they weren't songs that made me feel something the way these songs do."
Aquarius – Shut Up
Ariana Grande got straight to the point on the "Positions" lead track "Shut Up," in which she hits back at those gossiping about her personal life. Instead of beating around the bush, she adopted Aquarius' assertive nature of telling it how it is. "You know you sound so dumb/So maybe you should shut up," she sassily croons. Those under this zodiac tend to have a natural independence and confidence as well, which Grande also draws upon via lyrics like, "I vibrate high and my circle lit."
But it's more than just the lyrics that Aquarians are likely to relate to on this mellow R&B track. A handful of Reddit fans shared opinions that "Shut Up" shouldn't have been included on "Positions" amid other tracks that mainly discuss love and relationships. "The lyrics don't thematically fit the album. Especially if you think of the deluxe track list it really sticks out," one user wrote. But that's what makes it perfect for Aquarians. This zodiac loves being original and thinking outside the box rather than being a sheep and following the crowd, so it only seems natural to gravitate toward a song that stands out and brings a different vibe to Grande's 2020 release.
Pisces – Into You
"Into You" is one of Ariana Grande's most Pisces-coded hits. The upbeat, dance-pop track perfectly assimilates with the Piscean love of music and partying. The single has an infectious dance beat too, which is sure to have Pisceans around the world up and doing one of the things they love most; dancing. One of "Into You"'s co-writers, Savan Kotecha, shared the song was inspired by Michael Jackson's sound and upbeat hits. "[We were] like, 'Okay, let's do something super rhythmic,'" he explained on Daniel Swall's "Behind The Wall".
In the opening lines of the hit "Dangerous Woman" single, Grande details how she's fallen deeply in love with someone by gushing, "I'm so into you, I can barely breathe." Considering Pisces people have a reputation for being a zodiac sign that truly loves love, it's a feeling they can easily relate to. Pisces people are best known for gravitating toward deep, long-lasting romances and for being generous with their lovers while seeking out pleasure in love. Grande sings about that desire on the lines, "So baby, come light me up/And baby, I'll let you on it/A little bit dangerous/But baby, that's how I want it." This zodiac loves writing and sharing their insights via creative outlets like poetry too, and the track is full of clever lyrics Pisces people will appreciate, such as, "But close ain't close enough 'til we cross the line/So name a game to play, and I'll roll the dice."
Aries – Break Free
Aries is a fire sign, which is why the upbeat dance-pop hit "Break Free" is the ultimate Ariana Grande Aries anthem. Those who fall under this zodiac are famously courageous, confident, and determined, which this song has in spades. It tells the story of a woman holding her head high and walking away from a bad relationship, with Grande passionately singing, "This is the part when I say I don't want ya/I'm stronger than I've been before/This is the part when I break free." The track is also full of optimism for brighter days ahead, and Aries folk are known for their glass half full perspective, which makes this track uber-relatable.
Aries people also have a reputation for being bold and spontaneous, which Grande herself has related to the song featured on her "My Everything" album. Referring to the lyrics, "I only want to die alive/Never by the hands of a broken heart," Grande explained to Time, "It means life is so short — there's no reason to not enjoy it and there's no reason you should be anything but yourself." She added, "Have fun, be spontaneous and let go. It's okay to cut off whatever you feel is holding you back."
Taurus – Greedy
On "Greedy," Ariana Grande sings about wanting as much love as she can get from her partner. Those who fall under the Taurus zodiac are known for being greedy when it comes to more than just relationships though (and that doesn't have to be a bad thing). They like to have an abundance of everything from food, to shopping, to sex, so a song about abundance is sure to pique their interest. Like a lot of the other tracks on Grande's "Dangerous Woman" album, this upbeat track is also super flirty, and Taurus people are well-known for loving a good flirt. "I know that I'm coming tonight/You know I'm coming tonight/Don't want to deny it anymore," Grande teases in the album track, as she relents and finally tells the person she's crushing on how she's feeling.
However, Taurus people are also known for being possessive and they're one of the most stubborn zodiac signs, so they'll usually get what they want. On "Greedy," Grande makes it clear she only has eyes for this one person who she wants to be all hers. "Boy, you give me feelings never felt before/I'm making it obvious by knocking at your door," she sings. She also laments of her overwhelming desire for her love interest, "I ain't talking money, I'm just physically obsessed/And I'm greedy."
Gemini – Goodnight n Go
Geminis are represented by twins and the concept of two, sometimes competing, perspectives forming one entity. As such, the juxtaposition between what the head wants and what the heart wants in "Goodnight and Go" makes it the ultimate Ariana Grande track for Geminis. The breezy, airy tempo fits makes it perfect for air signs, while also tapping into this zodiac's gentle, affectionate nature. On the "Sweetener" track, the hitmaker battles being in love with someone she shouldn't, knowing they likely won't end up together. "Why must you make me laugh so much?/It's bad enough we get along so well/Just say goodnight and go," she sings, as she battles between wanting to stay with someone but urging them to leave.
The track also taps into the idea that many Geminis don't enjoy single-dom or being alone, as Grande contemplates what life could be like one day when she and her forbidden love are finally together. "One of these days/You'll miss your train and come stay with me/We'll have drinks and talk about things/And any excuse to stay awake with you," the lyrics read.
Cancer – Needy
On "Needy," Ariana Grande sings about grappling with her emotions as she falls deeply in love with someone and the insecurities that often come with a new relationship. "If you take too long to hit me back/I can't promise you how I'll react/But all I can say is at least I'll wait for you," she states. The lyrics also relate to the Cancer sign's fierce loyalty and tendency to become over emotional, which can sometimes make them come across as clingy. "I'm obsessive and I love too hard/Good at overthinking with my heart," she notes. Cancer Grande fans will likely understand the song's lyrics about enjoying feeling needed by others, as she states, "I can be needy/Tell me how good it feels to be needed."
But while "Needy," from the album "thank u, next," connects with Cancerian qualities they may not always love about themselves, it also acts as a push toward self-acceptance and awareness. Grande acknowledges potentially disruptive patterns in her relationships that can make her appear needy to others and shines the spotlight on them, and her vulnerability is seriously relatable to others. "It's hauntingly accurate how it feels to be [co-dependent]," one Reddit user even stated. If anyone can relate to typical Cancer traits it's Grande, as she's a Cancer who perfectly embodies the watery zodiac sign.
Leo – 7 Rings
"7 Rings" is full of punchy confidence and glamour, just like Leos. Those who fall under this fire sign (famous Leos who embody this zodiac include Kylie Jenner and Jennifer Lopez) are famously big fans of enjoying the finer things in life, theatricality, and being admired by their peers. In the song, featured on "thank u, next," Grande empoweringly and unapologetically boasts about living the high life and spoiling her best friends with her riches. "Lashes and diamonds, ATM machines/Buy myself all of my favorite things," she sings. "Make big deposits, my gloss is poppin'/You like my hair? Gee, thanks, just bought it," she also croons.
Grande opened up to Billboard about what inspired the track, sharing it was based on real life events many Leo's will likely aspire to. "Me and my friends went to Tiffany's together, just because we needed some retail therapy," she explained. "We bought seven engagement rings, and when I got back to the studio I gave everybody a friendship ring."
Virgo – Be Alright
Virgos can sometimes get totally wrapped up in life, as the earth sign is incredibly analytical and hardworking. That means they have a tendency to be extremely critical, which can lead to a lot of worry and a lack of fun. This zodiac also has a reputation for being one of the most pessimistic and is prone to slipping into a bad mood when things aren't perfect. But Ariana Grande's "Be Alright" serves as an important reminder than even when life looks its darkest and things feel stressful, there's always a light at the end of the tunnel. Grande sings in the chorus, "Baby, don't you know?/All of them tears gon' come and go/Baby, you just gotta make up your mind/That every little thing is gonna be alright." She also laments that uplifting message through the lines, "But the hard times are golden/'Cause they all lead to better days."
Grande has shared how much the upbeat song with a positive message means to her. "We [are] so proud of it. It's one of my favorite songs on the album," she told "Music Choice" of the "Dangerous Woman" album track. "It really is super uplifting and it's really empowering and what I really love most about that song is that it really does make you feel like everything is going to be alright," she said.
Libra - pov
Libra's are one of the zodiac signs to turn to for affection because they have a very soft spot for love and romance, but they can also be seriously insecure. Ariana Grande's wistful balled "pov" encapsulates those personality traits perfectly. The "Positions" love song sees Grande wishing she could see herself through her lover's eyes so she can find out what they see in her. "I wanna love me/The way that you love me/For all of my pretty and all of my ugly too/I'd love to see me from your point of view," the lyrics state. Libras also notoriously love keeping the peace, promoting harmony, and being gracious, which fits the track's slower, scaled back nature. She also makes it clear she's throwing herself into the romance despite her insecurities, just like Libra's tend to fall deep and look for marriage or deep love in their relationships.
On Reddit, multiple fans shared how relatable they find the ballad, which has sparked speculation it was inspired by Grande's former husband Dalton Gomez. "It's so relatable in my life too that it hits close to home!" one person wrote. "pov is absolutely beautiful, and I think the lyrics being relevant to my life right now and my relationship only strengthen my love for it," another commented.
Scorpio – Positions
"Positions" is one of Ariana Grande's most confident, sexually positive, and passionate hits. And it serves total Scorpio energy. The lead single from the "Positions" album taps into the Scorpio's sensual side, as those who fall under this zodiac tend to be very sex positive and crave physical touch. The NSFW, tongue in cheek, track details how Grande is willing to give her lover whatever they want, in and outside of the bedroom (where this zodiac is known to be adventurous when they find the right person). "Switchin' them positions for you/Cookin' in the kitchen and I'm in the bedroom/I'm in the Olympics, way I'm jumpin' through hoops/Know my love infinite, nothin' I wouldn't do," she sings in the chorus.
The flirty song is also full of confidence, which this water sign has a lot of. Grande's lyrics include, "This some s**t that I usually don't do/But for you, I kinda, kinda want to" and "'Cause you're down for me and I'm down too." Both also mirror the Scorpio's fierce loyalty and their tendency to feel happiest in committed relationships.
Sagittarius – Bye
Ariana Grande gets feisty on the "Eternal Sunshine" track "bye" as she leaves a relationship that's no longer serving her (because independent Sagittarians won't settle for relationships they're not truly happy in). The positive, upbeat track mirrors the Sagittarius way of life, as although the lyrics may not be about the most positive situation, this fire sign can be optimistic even in the most downbeat of situations. "You know? I'm stronger than I think/Usually, I'd join you on the floor, but this dance ain't for me," she sings.
Sagittarians can also be turned off by people who try to clip their wings or need a lot of attention, which fits with the track's blunt lyrics about walking away. Grande tells her now ex, "So I grab my stuff/Courtney just pulled up in the driveway/It's time/Bye-bye ... It's over, it's over." Multiple fans have shared their love for the pop tune on Reddit, with one writing, "It's such a good catchy song. And relatable!!" Equally, Grande has admitted a lot of her raw, personal feelings were put into the tracks on "Eternal Sunshine," which she released following her divorce from her former husband Dalton Gomez — one of Grande's past relationships we learned from. "I [have] big feelings and I needed a place to put them," she told The Hollywood Reporter's "Awards Chatter" podcast.
Capricorn – Bang Bang
Capricorns tend to be ambitious and persistent, and they'll work hard to get what they want. As such, there's no better song to capture this vibe than Ariana Grande's "Bang Bang," which also features Jessie J and Nicki Minaj. In Grande's verse, she sings about setting her sights on a romantic partner and proving she's the right woman for them, despite other loves they may have had in the past. "She might'a let you hold her hand in school/But I'mma show you how to graduate," she confidently sings, alongside lyrics like, "See, anybody could be bad to you/You need a good girl to blow your mind." Capricorns also tend to chase instant gratification and, although they may seem quieter on the surface, when it comes to love, they're not shy about being honest about what they want (the refrain "bang bang" is appropriate). They also tend to striving to keep their partner satisfied, which fits with the risqué lyrics such as, "Bang, bang into the room (I know you want it)/Bang, bang all over you (I'll let you have it)/Wait a minute, let me take you there."
The track, featured on the deluxe version of "My Everything," also links to the Capricorn's innate love of money. As chasers of success, this zodiac sign considers money a measurement of how well they're doing, so they're likely to relate to Minaj's rap about enjoying life's luxuries. "Swimming in The Grotto, we winning in the lotto," Minaj raps. "Ride his uh like a Harley then pull off in his Ferrari," she adds.
