The Power of Self-Indulgence in Ariana Grande's '7 rings'

Ariana Grande's '7 rings' is a bold anthem of self-empowerment and material indulgence. The song, which interpolates 'My Favorite Things' from 'The Sound of Music,' flips the script on the original's innocent appreciation for simple pleasures, transforming it into a modern ode to luxury and independence. Grande's lyrics celebrate her financial success and the ability to purchase whatever she desires, a stark contrast to the more modest wishes of the original song.

The repeated line 'I want it, I got it' serves as a mantra for Grande's assertiveness in achieving her desires. This phrase, along with references to expensive brands and the flaunting of wealth, underscores a theme of unapologetic self-satisfaction and the joy of treating oneself. The song also touches on themes of friendship and loyalty, as Grande mentions buying matching diamonds for her friends, suggesting that her enjoyment of wealth also includes sharing it with her loved ones.

However, '7 rings' is not just about materialism. It's a reflection of Grande's journey through personal hardships, as indicated by the line 'Been through some bad shit, I should be a sad bitch.' The song is a testament to her resilience, transforming pain into power, and using her wealth as a means to assert control over her life. The track's braggadocious tone and catchy beat have made it a commercial success, resonating with listeners who find inspiration in its message of self-reliance and the celebration of personal achievements.
