A(B)G
By Ariana Grande
Arr. Rita Rangchaikul '17
ARIANA GRANDE aka. AG aka. A(B)G but not ABG as in Asian Baby Girl but ABG as in ARIANA Baby Girl because aren't we all Ariana Baby Girls??! (I'm sorry).
A tribute to the power diva's turbulent dating life. We start off with an original orchestration for "Raindrops" - the opening song on her Sweetener album. Our girl Ari is heartbroken ["an angel cried"] but then realizes that although she has 99 "Problems", he can't be one.
Being Ari, she continues to be "Greedy" for love and falls for the "Moonlight" kind of man of her dreams ["sweet like candy"]. Unfortunately, she is once again disappointed and says "Thank U, Next" ["look what you've taught me"]. Ari recognizes that she needs to "Break Free" of all her toxic relationships ["I'm stronger than I've been before"]. But when all is said and done, she ends up finding another man who makes her feel like a "Dangerous Woman" ["makes me wanna do things that I shouldn't"].
At the end of the day, boi or no boi, Ari makes us all believe that "God is a Woman".
