What it is
"get well soon" is the closing track of Ariana Grande's 2018 album Sweetener, a soul and gospel ballad she co-wrote with its producer, Pharrell Williams. It draws on the anxiety Grande experienced after the May 2017 Manchester Arena bombing that followed her concert there. She described it as a musical hug for listeners, and said its layered vocals represent the many voices in her head talking to one another.
