Ariana Grande‘s second single from the Eternal Sunshine album is “We Can’t Be Friends (Wait for Your Love)” and fans will definitely be trying to figure out who she is singing about on the song.

The 30-year-old singer could be singing about several different people and there are already some fan theories spreading on social media.

“We can’t be friends / But I’d like to just pretend / You cling to your papers and pens / Wait until you like me again / Wait for your love / My love, I’ll wait for your love,” Ariana sings on the chorus.

While some fans think that the song might not be about one specific person, the music video teaser trailer provides a clue.

In the trailer for the music video, Ariana is seen signing a contract that reads, “You have given extensive thought behind your decision and give ‘Brighter Days Inc.’ the exclusive permission to remove this person completely from your memory.”

So, who could the song be about?

The most obvious choice would be Ariana‘s ex-husband Dalton Gomez. They announced their separation back in July 2023.

Since Ariana is singing about waiting for this person to love her, fans also think that she could be singing about current boyfriend Ethan Slater. Perhaps these were her feelings before they were in a relationship and express how she didn’t feel she could be “just” friends with him.
