‘No Tears Left To Cry’ was released almost a year after Ariana Grande’s hiatus from public life after the terrorist bombing at her concert in Manchester where 22 people were killed and hundreds injured. ‘No Tears Left To Cry’ is her way of expressing that she has grieved and now she wants to get back to singing, dancing and having some fun.
In an article about the song, Ariana is quoted as tweeting “I hope this song brings you light and comfort but also makes you wanna dance and live ya best life! I am so excited for this new chapter with you all. Thank you for this beautiful start.”
Lyrics
Right now, I’m in a state of mind
I wanna be in like all the time
Ain’t got no tears left to cry
So I’m pickin’ it up, pickin’ it up
I’m lovin’, I’m livin’, I’m pickin’ it up
I’m pickin’ it up, pickin’ it up
I’m lovin’, I’m livin’, I’m pickin’ it up (oh, yeah)
I wanna be in like all the time
Ain’t got no tears left to cry
So I’m pickin’ it up, pickin’ it up
I’m lovin’, I’m livin’, I’m pickin’ it up
I’m pickin’ it up, pickin’ it up
I’m lovin’, I’m livin’, I’m pickin’ it up (oh, yeah)
I’m pickin’ it up (yeah), pickin’ it up (yeah)
Lovin’, I’m livin’, so we turnin’ up
Yeah, we turnin’ it up
Lovin’, I’m livin’, so we turnin’ up
Yeah, we turnin’ it up
Ain’t got no tears in my body
I ran out, but boy, I like it, I like it, I like it
Don’t matter how, what, where, who tries it
We’re out here vibin’, we vibin’, we vibin’
I ran out, but boy, I like it, I like it, I like it
Don’t matter how, what, where, who tries it
We’re out here vibin’, we vibin’, we vibin’
Comin’ out, even when it’s rainin’ down
Can’t stop now, can’t stop so shut your mouth
Shut your mouth, and if you don’t know
Then now you know it, babe
Know it, babe, yeah
Can’t stop now, can’t stop so shut your mouth
Shut your mouth, and if you don’t know
Then now you know it, babe

They point out the colors in you, I see ’em too
And, boy, I like ’em, I like ’em, I like ’em
And, boy, I like ’em, I like ’em, I like ’em
We’re way too fly to partake in all this hate
We out here vibin’, we vibin’, we vibin’
We out here vibin’, we vibin’, we vibin’
Comin’ out, even when it’s rainin’ down
Can’t stop now, can’t stop, so shut your mouth
Shut your mouth, and if you don’t know
Then now you know it, babe
Know it, babe, yeah
Can’t stop now, can’t stop, so shut your mouth
Shut your mouth, and if you don’t know
