When it comes to memes, the internet can never stop. On Saturday, Ariana Grande dropped a new single called ‘Thank U, Next’ to hype up her new album, ‘Sweetener‘. The song is on its way to becoming the breakup anthem of the decade. But now it’s apparently also one of the best memes of 2018.
The track mentions her experience with all of her exes, including ex-fiancé Pete Davidson and Mac Miller (who died in a tragic drug overdose).
In the lyrics, Grande directs gratitude and love towards them. She tells the world that she’s thankful for them but that she’s doing good on her own.
Ariana sings about her exes like:
“One taught me love…One taught me patience…And one taught me pain…Now I’m so amazing.”
And now, those same lyrics have been turned into a series of hilarious memes. The internet is using the same words to relate to other situations in life. It apparently ranges all the way from TV characters to types of milk to Kanye West.
Love, Patience and Pain
We can relate when it comes to Shrek:
