Get Well Soon

"Get Well Soon" (stylized in all lowercase) is a song by American singer Ariana Grande, who co-wrote the song with its producer Pharrell Williams. It is the final track on Grande's fourth studio album Sweetener (2018). It is inspired by Grande's personal anxiety and post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) following the May 2017 terrorist attack after her concert in Manchester, United Kingdom. Background Grande released her third studio album, Dangerous Woman on May 20, 2016. A commercial and critical success, Grande embarked on the Dangerous Woman Tour in 2017 to further promote it. She performed at the Manchester Arena in Manchester, United Kingdom on May 22, 2017, chosen as one of the dates in the European leg of the tour. When the concert ended, concert-goers left through City Room, one of the entrances into the arena. A terrorist attack by suicide bombing went off in the City Room one minute after. The bombing was responsible for the casualties of 22 victims and injuries of 1,017 people. As a result of the attack, Grande suffered from post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) in an interview with British Vogue. She revealed that she had "really wild dizzy spells, this feeling like I couldn't breathe", and that she "felt so upside down" and her anxiety became physical. Grande shared her experience with Pharrell Williams, with whom she created the song. In a later interview for Paper, Grande said: "[Pharrell] kind of forced it out of me, because I was in a really bad place mentally. ... [Pharrell] was like, 'You have to write about it. You need to make this into music and get this shit out, and I promise it will heal you.' And it definitely helped." She also said that the song is "probably one of the most important songs [she would] ever write." Grande revealed in an interview on Beats 1 Radio that she intended the song to offer a "musical hug". She further explained that "Get Well Soon" is about "being there for each other and helping each other through scary times and anxiety" and about "personal demons and anxiety and more intimate tragedies as well", stressing that mental health is very important.
