Arianators and Honey Bees, Valentine’s Day is right around the corner. And if there’s one person who has love songs for days, it’s Ariana Grande. She has songs about love, heartbreak, and everything in between. While we could give you songs that everyone plays constantly, we’re giving you ten underrated Ariana Grande songs for your Valentine’s Day playlist. Who doesn’t like exploring underrated songs? We know we do.
‘Honeymoon Avenue’
“I feel like my heart is stuck in bumper-to-bumper traffic
I’m under pressure ’cause I can’t have you the way that I want“
Ariana Grande’s early career albums aren’t talked about enough nowadays. They have some of her best underrated songs to date. ‘Honeymoon Avenue’ is the first single on our list of underrated songs you need on your Valentine’s Day playlist. The single appears as the first single on her debut album, Yours Truly. The powerful ballad is about a relationship that was once good, no, great, that’s starting to fall apart slowly. She reflects on the relationship and wanting to go back to how they were when they first got together.
The song puts a unique spin on “the honeymoon phase,” which is the beginning of the relationship where everything seems simple and great. Instead of it being a phase, it’s an avenue she and her partner are driving down. It’s a relatable song for everyone who’s ever gone from things being great in a relationship to things going south. It’s why we can’t help but suggest it for your playlist.
‘Piano’
“I could write a song by my new piano
I could sing about how love is a losing battle
Not hard (It’s not hard)”
What would a Valentine’s Day playlist be without a playful and upbeat song from Ariana Grande? ‘Piano’ is that song. The song finds the singer torn about what kind of song she wants to write with her piano. Overall, she’s embracing the joys that come from being with someone. She wants people to have fun and enjoy being in the moment with the person they’re with, crushing on, etc. It’s how it should be if you were to ask us.
‘Only 1’
“As I’m layin’ down with you every night
It still gets to me, that you remain by my side“
Have you ever been with someone who you felt was too good for you? Sometimes, people wonder how they got to the place with the person they’re with and start questioning things. ‘Only 1’ is the perfect addition to your Valentine’s Day playlist because we never know who’s listening to the playlist if you’re sharing it with others. ‘Only 1’ is all about being with someone who surprises you in all the good ways because of how they love and treat you. It sometimes makes you question if you’re the only one in their life they’re talking to or with.
‘Just A Little Bit Of Your Heart’
“But I’ll still be a fool
‘Cause I’m a fool for you”
Want a song about unrequited love for your playlist? ‘Just A Little Bit Of Your Heart’ is that song. The song is a tender and emotional ballad and features only the sound of Ariana’s voice with a piano playing in the background. The song is about someone who’s in a relationship with someone who isn’t committed to the relationship the way she is. Ariana wishes she could at least have a small piece of her partner. No one wants to go through it, but it happens sometimes. It helps to know other people have gone through the same.
‘Moonlight’
“I never knew, I never knew
You could hold moonlight in your hands”
Most people want a fairy tale type of love, at least a love that lasts for a long time. ‘Moonlight’ is a song that embodies that. The song features the sounds of a violin in a romantic way. The song is about being with someone who’s everything you want in a partner and more. While they’re not perfect because no one is ever that perfect, they’re perfect for the person. She compares the person to being her moonlight as she feels a strong and deep connection to them. The thought of having someone as your moonlight or even being considered someone’s moonlight is a beautiful feeling. Don’t you agree, Honey Bees?
‘better off’
“On the road a lot, had to keep it a thousand
So that I’m better off not being around ya“
Not everyone is good for you to be in a relationship with. Sometimes, we might know off the bat, and sometimes, it takes time to realize it. ‘better off’ is that song to help you, a friend, or a loved one that their partner (or even crush) isn’t good for them. The song finds Ariana letting go of a relationship because she realizes she’s ‘better off’ being by herself. It also serves as a song about healing from a relationship that wasn’t the right one.
‘ghostin”
“But I love you, we’ll get past this, I’m a girl with
A whole lot of baggage, oh yeah”
This song might be debatable when it comes to adding it to a Valentine’s Day playlist. However, we think it’s still fitting, plus it’s an underrated song about love at the end of the day. If you don’t know what the term ghosting’ means, it means when someone goes from talking to you one day and falls out of contact with you the next day without any notice or reason.
In ‘ghostin” Ariana finds herself torn. One person is the person she’s in a relationship with, and the other person is someone she loves or still loves. She feels bad and guilty about the way she feels, but she wants to try to make it work with the person she’s with at the end of the day. Being ghosted isn’t something that’s fun to go through, but sometimes, it can be hard to let someone go if they mean that much to you.
‘pov’
“Ooh, ’cause nobody ever loved me like you do
I’d love to see me from your point of view“
Do you ever wish you could see yourself from someone else’s point of view? Not just anyone but the person you’re in a relationship with if you’re in a relationship? A lot of us have probably been in that position before. ‘pov’ is that one Ariana Grande song that’s not only relatable, but makes us feel all the feels, and wonder how our significant other or even an ex might see us. The song is about knowing how much you’re unconditionally loved by the person you’re with. It’s about wishing, or rather wanting to see far and much it is, but from the eyes and mind of the other person. It sounds like it would be a good thing to be able to do, even for just a moment, to know how much someone really loves us.
‘safety net’
“Is it real this time or is it in my head?
Got me tripping, falling, with no safety net“
Many of us have been in a place where we were scared to fall in love. Falling for someone can be scary at times. It can also be overwhelming. This is where the ‘safety net’ from Ariana’s Positions album could come in handy. The song ‘safety net’ is about falling for someone and not having a safety net to prepare one for the impact falling will have on her. Because she feels she’s falling, she’s questioning things as someone sometimes does when it comes to this type of situation. This Ariana Grande song is perfect for your Valentine’s Day playlist if you find yourself with someone you think you might be falling deep for.
‘imperfect for you’
“We crashed and we burned
Now I just can’t go where you don’t go“
The last song on our list for your Valentine’s Day playlist is ‘imperfect for you’ from Ariana Grande’s ‘imperfect for you.’ The song appears on her seventh album, eternal sunshine. Nobody’s perfect, and that’s something that everyone knows all too well. Ariana knows as well. The song is about having someone who accepts you for who you are despite any flaws you have. She’s imperfect for her partner, and he’s imperfect for her. For them, it’s a beautiful thing, which is all that truly matters.
