Ariana Grande’s love story with Pete Davidson was not only iconic, it was almost heaven-authored. The duo were one of the sweetest couples in the music industry and it was very disheartening when they decided to call it quits.
Sometimes, when lovers stop being together, they result to hostility around or to each other. However, when it comes to Grande and Davidson, they are still sweet to each other outside their relationship. Davidson once said that he supported Grande when they were together and there is no reason not to when they’re not.

Since their almost two-year relationship ended, Davidson has dated quite a few women, ranging from models to actresses. However, not of them have reportedly written songs about him except Grande.
According to reports, some of her best songs, were dedicated in part for Davidson and fans deduced this from the lyrics. People always say that when someone writes songs about a past lover, it is to express how they felt during the relationship. Sometimes, these songs have a taste of sweet-sad feelings, while others are completely sad.
