Laying on my back when I think about magic hour
I meet you in the wildflowers, undercover
See it on my face ’cause you know that taste so sour
I greet you like a higher power, my summer lover
Grow you from the root, rain on you, rain on you
Take another sip of my perfume, taking two, taking two
Dreaming of the skies you wanna touch, don’t you rush, don’t you rush
‘Cause I’m the one reaching up, no, I’m the one reaching
I’ve come to wake you up
And pollinate your love
I’ll never leave you to be
Forgotten in the sun
I’ve come to wake you up
And pollinate your love
I’ll never leave you to be
Forgotten in the sun
[?] in your bed when you’re on the edge is something new
I just wanna watch you bloom in every color
Shining of the walls in the glow, it’s all you consume
Honey, let me garden you in every [?]
Dreaming of the skies we wanna touch, don’t you rush, don’t you rush
‘Cause you’re the one reaching up, no, you’re the one reaching
I’ve come to wake you up
And pollinate your love
I’ll never leave you to be
Forgotten in the sun
I’ve come to wake you up
And pollinate your love
I’ll never leave you to be
Forgotten in the sun
If I’m gonna be your summer love, then
Promise me I’ll never be forgotten
Even when the skies become too darkened
You give light
If I’m gonna be your summer love, then
Promise me I’ll never be forgotten
Even when the skies become too darkened
You give light

Take off into the open
When you are feeling scared
And fake talk won’t bring you closer
So breathe ‘fore you lose your air
It’s not really like you
To hold your breath behind
Take my open eyes
● ” Love you lately ”
I’m so happy to share the music video for Love You Lately with you all.
This song was written with two dueling points of you and conflicting emotions, watching a relationship fall apart while hoping it will somehow all work out.
It was important to me to translate this struggle in a way that felt palpable and as raw as the melodies in the song. Dance and movement felt like the natural fit for bringing this song to life visually, two bodies fighting to find a way to move together rather than apart.
Often times, when we look back on heartbreak and the whole thing can feel like a dream. We can’t remember how we even got through the whole thing at all. Through vivid color, texture, landscape and movement we looked to recreate that feeling, as if the whole world is happening in slow motion while you fight for something you love. I hope this visual adds to your experience of Love You Lately and allows you to climb inside the sounds and lyrics of the song and perhaps delve into and heal your own broken hearts.
Thank you for watching and sharing in the vibrant dreamscape that this the Love You Lately music video.
Hope you enjoy!
xo, Ariana

[ Quotable ]
Why did you have to bring it up?
I’ve been aiming steady for a better love
Till you changed my mind with your vacant eyes
I fought for such a long time, you never seem to be on my side
I reach for your hand, you push me away
It’s not just me and my pride, I’m never the one who’s looking for a fight
i don’t understand why you push away
